The Amazon Basics 1TB microSDXC with adapter sits at number 8 in this guide at £205.00, with a 4.6 average from 634 ratings. It is the only card here whose listing states a write speed outright: the bullet says write speed up to 150MB/s, and the spec table's Media Speed field agrees, reading 150 megabytes per second. Most listings in this guide give one combined range, or quote a write figure in a bullet that the spec table then undercuts. This one does not.

The catch is on the read figure. The 200MB/s read speed is above UHS-I, and the listing says so itself: it needs the Amazon Basics Micro SD Card Reader USB C 3.0 B to get there, otherwise the card runs at UHS-I speeds in a camera, drone or console. On price it is the second dearest card here, £47 more than the 190MB/s SanDisk Extreme at £157.99 and £65.99 less than the 900MB/s Lexar PLAY PRO at £270.99. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — the prices, the figures and the speed classes quoted — not from testing we carried out.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Amazon Basics 1TB microSDXC give a write speed?**

Yes. The bullet says write speed up to 150MB/s, and the spec table's Media Speed field reads 150 megabytes per second, so the two agree here.

**How do I get the 200MB/s read speed?**

The listing says 200MB/s read is above UHS-I and needs the Amazon Basics Micro SD Card Reader USB C 3.0 B. In a device without that reader it runs at UHS-I speeds.

**Will it work in a Nintendo Switch 2?**

No. The first bullet states this Micro SD card is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2.

**How much storage do I actually get?**

The listing notes that capacity shown by different operating systems may be less than the label because of different measurement standards, and that available capacity is higher than 908GB.

**Is the Amazon Basics 1TB card waterproof?**

The listing describes it as shockproof, IPX6 waterproof, temperature-proof from -10° to 80°, X-Ray-proof and magnetic-proof.

**What does it cost compared with the rest of the guide?**

£205.00. That is £47 more than the 190MB/s SanDisk Extreme at £157.99 in this list.
