Every capacity reads at 100 MB/s; write speed scales with capacity, from 65 MB/s at 32 GB to 85 MB/s at 128 GB and 256 GB. TLC flash, the A1 application class and a 0–70 °C operating range make it the pick for big-bandwidth, high-IOPS consumer jobs — drones, game consoles, action cameras and phone storage. One honest note: for around-the-clock CCTV recording, the Red Card MT series is the right tool, not this one.
Is this the right card for you?
Plain-language guide — based only on what this product actually does.
- 7×24 continuous CCTV recording — that duty belongs to the Red Card MT series (3000 P/E, −25–85 °C)
- Sub-zero or sun-baked outdoor sites — this series is rated 0–70 °C; the Red Card covers −25–85 °C
- The lowest possible price for casual storage — that is what the T-C White series is for

Key Features
The complete series capability list.
Who uses it, where it goes and how to use it
Written for the Uniview TF Purple Card T series (TF-32G-T to TF-256G-T) from its own specifications: high-speed microSD, 100 MB/s read, 65–85 MB/s write, A1, TLC, 1000 P/E, 0–70 °C.
Who it is for
- Drone pilots and action-cam users — High-bitrate 4K clips need write headroom; the 128 GB and 256 GB cards write at 85 MB/s, the fastest in the TF family.
- Game consoles and handhelds — The A1 application class keeps game libraries and app data responsive, and 100 MB/s reads shorten load times from the card.
- Phone and tablet storage — Photo libraries, offline maps and media open quickly at 100 MB/s read, on every capacity from 32 GB to 256 GB.
- Not for 7×24 CCTV — With 1000 P/E and a 0–70 °C range, this series is built for speed, not round-the-clock writing in outdoor housings; for camera SD slots the page points to the Red Card MT series.
Where and how to use it
- Format in the device that records — Format the card in the drone, camera or phone that will use it, not on a PC, so the device creates the folders and file system it expects. Reformat in the device after each offload instead of deleting files one by one.
- Start at 128 GB for high-bitrate video — Write speed steps up with capacity: 65 MB/s at 32 GB, 70 MB/s at 64 GB, 85 MB/s at 128 GB and 256 GB. For 4K recording, choose 128 GB or 256 GB.
- Check the device's card limit — Phones, drones and consoles each have a maximum microSD size. Check it before buying the TF-256G-T; older devices may not read large cards.
- Keep it within 0–70 °C — Do not leave the card in a device on a car dashboard in summer sun or use it below freezing; the rated range is 0 °C to 70 °C. For hot or cold outdoor duty, the Red Card MT is rated −25 °C to 85 °C.
- Use a fast card reader — To copy footage at up to 100 MB/s, use a USB 3 card reader or port; a USB 2 reader or an old laptop slot limits the transfer well below the card's speed.
Hours of video per Purple card
Every capacity reads at 100 MB/s; write speed rises from 65 to 85 MB/s with capacity. The table shows hours of continuous video at typical drone and action-cam bitrates and how long a full card takes to copy at the 100 MB/s read speed.
| Write speed | 20 Mbps | 60 Mbps | 100 Mbps | Full copy at 100 MB/s | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TF-32G-T · 32 GB | 65 MB/s | 3.6 h | 1.2 h | 0.7 h | 5.3 min |
| TF-64G-T · 64 GB | 70 MB/s | 7.1 h | 2.4 h | 1.4 h | 10.7 min |
| TF-128G-T · 128 GB | 85 MB/s | 14.2 h | 4.7 h | 2.8 h | 21.3 min |
| TF-256G-T · 256 GB | 85 MB/s | 28.4 h | 9.5 h | 5.7 h | 42.7 min |
- Pick TF-128G-T or TF-256G-T for 4K: 85 MB/s write, and about 2.8 h or 5.7 h of footage at 100 Mbps.
- TF-32G-T and TF-64G-T suit phones, consoles and 1080p clips at about 20 Mbps (3.6 h and 7.1 h).
- For a security camera SD slot, choose the Red Card MT series instead.
Bitrates of 20, 60 and 100 Mbps are assumed examples for 1080p and 4K recording, not page figures; check your device's own setting. Hours = capacity × 10^9 ÷ (bitrate ÷ 8) ÷ 3600, using nominal capacity; usable space after formatting is a little lower. Copy time assumes the reader sustains 100 MB/s.
