Memory Cards & SSDs

People rarely buy the wrong memory card because it's too small. More often it simply doesn't match the device: a camera stops recording halfway through a 4K clip, a Switch 2 won't load games, or a laptop's M.2 slot won't take the drive. This page has Kodak USB drives, microSD, SD, CFexpress cards and SSDs, plus microSD cards Reolink and SpotCam make for their own cameras, all Hong Kong licensed. Start with what your device takes.

Check which card your device uses

microSD: phones, security cameras, dash cams, action cameras, games consoles and digital photo frames.
SD (full size): most cameras, and the card readers built into computers.
CFexpress: some high-end cameras. Type A and Type B are different sizes and not interchangeable, so check your camera manual first.
USB drives and USB-C portable SSDs: moving files between computers and TVs.
M.2 and 2.5-inch SSDs: fitted inside a computer, or in an enclosure as a portable drive.

Reading the labels

Capacity: cards of 32GB or less are SDHC; above 32GB (up to 2TB) they are SDXC. Some older devices only read SDHC, so check the manual before buying a large card.
Video speed (V10, V30, V60, V90): the number is the minimum sustained write speed while recording, in MB per second. V10 is usually enough for 1080p; 4K generally needs V30 or higher; for high-bitrate 4K or 8K, follow your camera manual on V60 or V90.
A1 and A2: random read/write performance. A2 opens apps faster on phones and consoles that support it; for cameras, the V rating matters more.
UHS-I and UHS-II: UHS-II cards have a second row of contacts, and you only get the higher speed if both the device and the card reader support it. In a UHS-I-only device they still work, at UHS-I speed.

Choosing by use

Phones, photo frames and everyday photos

Kodak Premium (V10) and Ultra (V30) come in microSD and SD sizes and cover everyday photos, 1080p video and digital photo frames. For 4K on a phone, choose V30 or higher. The Creators range is also V30 with higher rated read/write speeds; see each product page for the figures.

Security cameras and dash cams: choose an endurance card

Round-the-clock loop recording writes far more data than everyday photography, and standard cards can start to fail sooner. Kodak Endurance cards are designed for long recording. Reolink and SpotCam also sell their own microSD cards for their cameras. Maximum supported capacity varies by camera, so check the camera page.

4K video and RAW bursts on a camera

Kodak Ultra Pro cards are UHS-II: V60 and V90 in SD, V60 in microSD. To get the full speed, your camera and card reader must both support UHS-II. If your camera takes CFexpress, Kodak offers Type A and Type B from 128GB.

Nintendo Switch 2: microSD Express only

Nintendo states that Switch 2 is only compatible with microSD Express cards. A standard microSD card can only be used to import screenshots and videos from the original Switch; it can't save or load digital games. Kodak microSD Express comes in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.

Computers: USB drives and SSDs

The Kodak K103 is a USB 3.2 drive that also works in older USB 2.0 ports, just more slowly. The X200 is a USB-C portable SSD that needs no installation. The X250S is M.2 SATA and the X300S is M.2 NVMe: many newer laptops have NVMe-only M.2 slots, so check before buying the X250S. The same applies to enclosures, which support SATA, NVMe or both.

Hong Kong licensed warranty and delivery

Everything in this collection is Hong Kong licensed stock, covered by the local distributor's warranty (see the warranty card in the box for the exact period), and 100% brand new. You can book a visit to our Kwun Tong showroom to see products (viewing only). Delivery is by SF Express, freight collect; pick-up at our Kwun Tong shop is free (11:00–19:00); for other arrangements, WhatsApp us.

Warranty covers the card or drive itself, not the data on it, so keep separate backups of important photos and videos.

FAQ

My device asks me to format the card. Is the card faulty?

Not necessarily. Many cameras need a new card, or one moved from another device, to be formatted in the device before use. Formatting erases everything, so back up first.

My older device won't read a card above 64GB. Why?

Cards above 32GB are SDXC and usually use exFAT, and some older devices only support 32GB or less. Check the manual for the maximum size, or WhatsApp us the model number.

Can a microSD Express card be used in an ordinary device?

Generally yes. Nintendo confirms microSD Express cards work in the original Switch, but you won't get Express speeds in a standard microSD slot. The reverse doesn't apply: a standard microSD card can't store games on a Switch 2.
