UPDATED MAR 2020 – Ran new benchmarks with Sony MRW-E90 reader using CrystalDiskMark v7.0.0 x64 (5 iterations @ 1GiB) and got even better results than last time for SEQ1M (247.47 Read / 103.6 Write – see updated attached screenshots). This first test was using my Dell S2716DG as an USB 3.0 Hub. The next test was directly connected to USB3.1 port on my Aurora R7 and I got even better results (260.2 Read / 104.2 Write).
Have used this on a near weekly basis to record 4K @ 60mps with Sony A6400 (about 2hrs each session) and have not run into any issues whatsoever. At current price of $30.59, this is a true bargain and a very solid performer.
Original review from May 2019 below.
=======
Was a little apprehensive of investing further in Lexar given their recent change of ownership and then being MIA for a short period but it looks like they’re finally back in business. I had initially purchased the Freetail Evoke Pro (https://www.amazon.com/FreeTail-Evoke-1000x-UHS-II-FTSD128A10/dp/B074PVQJR1) but glad I found this one as it bests the former card in performance for nearly half the price (EDIT: I purchased this in early May for $39.99 but I see the price has gone up now).
Check my attached pics for benchmarks which includes Crystal Disk 1GB 5 iterations and also actual Windows 10 copy to/from speeds. Also used it on A6400 and recorded about 1.5hrs straight at 4k 60mbps without any issues. Only thing that remains is to see how it holds up in the long so will edit this review in the future if any changes.

We all know how every tablet, laptop and other device comes with about 8-64 gb which is tiny. I use this card everyday to bust up my laptop storage capacity and I had no problem with it

Checked these really were 128gb and they were. These were only about £4 more than the 64gb alternatives so couldn’t refuse. They work perfectly in my camera.

Currently, this is the cheapest “Name Brand” UHS-II card available on Amazon (though the Lexar brand was sold to a Chinese company for a number of years now). Current state of the art is 300 mb/s V90 cards, but those are almost 4x the price as of July 2019, compared to this 250mb/s V60 card.
Lexar had published their test results using a Nikon D500 and UHS-II card lineup, and the 300 mb/s card is able to achieve something over 50 shots before hitting the buffer (14 bit uncompressed raw). There are no direct comparisons for this card but Lexar’s speeds are more or less accurate; you can probably guesstimate that this card will perform at 75% of the performance of the 300 mb/s card.
———————————
Edit: As was pointed out in the comments, the 300 mb/s vs. 250 mb/s cards are referred to by their read speeds. A more accurate indicator is their write speeds, which is much lower for this card compared to Lexar’s 2000x card at only 80 mb/s. Maximum performance of the car is dependent on the device you are putting this in. I’m only speaking in context of the Nikon D500.
To verify exact percentage of performance difference between a Lexar 2000x card vs. this one, I shot my D500 back to back with a Lexar 2000x vs. this 1667 card (RAW+JPEG, 14 bit uncompressed) for 30 seconds each. On the 2000x I got 102 shots. On the 1667x I got 69 shots. So it’s more like 68% rather than 75% estimated performance.
———————————
As others have already posted benchmark speeds for this card, I’ll just focus on real world usage with a Nikon D500. Recently I bought the card for use on an Alaska cruise, so I needed to shoot bursts without hitting the buffer limit as the wildlife (whales especially) were often in a blink and you’ll miss it type scenario. With a UHS-I card (Sandisk Extreme Plus 80mb/s) I used two 12 shot bursts with similar pause in between and the camera started to chug on the next burst of images- so I relegated that card to portraits only. With the Lexar, the longest burst that I used was 23 images at a time; this was in the middle of a sequence where I shot 8, 23, 12, and then another 12 photos with maybe a up to 5 second pause in between shots. Despite this, I never had to wait for the camera’s buffer to clear. This was good enough for me- if I wanted even faster speeds, I’d probably just make the jump to XQD.

The Lexar “1667x” 128G UHS-II/U3 card has a very optimistic “250MB/sec” printed on the label, but it really reads at about 150MB/sec and writes at maybe 60-90 MB/sec. Still better than most older-generation cards, I guess, but honest specs would be nicer.

I purchased two 128 GB cards and a 64 GB card. They arrived in the mail today and I tested them with high speed shooting at 46 megapixels in raw with a Nikon D850 and shot 4K video with a Panasonic Lumix SX100. I observed no lag shooting in raw with the Nikon D850 or the 4K video with the Lumix. Using a USB 3.0 card reader I downloaded the images to a desktop computer and an iPad Pro. Downloads were very fast. I was especially surprised at how fast the 4K video downloaded to the iPad Pro. Earlier earlier this year I purchased a Sony 128 GB card with 260 MB/sec read and 100 MB/sec write specs an paid twice as much. I have never had any problems using a Lexar card and consider this to be an excellent purchase.

Just purchased this card for a Panasonic LUMIX GH5. Have not yet tried it at 400mb/ps. But as Intend to shoot at 1080p most of the time – this will do nicely!

I purchased 2 Lexar Professional 1667x 128GB SDXC UHS-II/U3 Card (LSD128CBNA1667) and 1st time using them, I formatted the cards in camera (XT3 with recent firmware 3.0) and when using to record video I received multiple read errors, camera lock up, and lost moments!!! When swapping out these cards with some of my other high speed photography Lexar 64gig cards they would have write errors as well. I switched to an old Sandisk Extreme and no more problem. Glitches happen, but this was completely unacceptable!!!

I was pretty excited for these both for the capacity and price, but I think I might have to return them.
I shoot with a Fuji X-T3 and got a write error in the middle of a photoshoot yesterday. First time I’ve ever experienced it. At another point in the shoot, it locked up on me. My other cards are SanDisk and Sony UHS-II cards and I haven’t had any issues using them since last October.
Luckily I didn’t lose the photos, and it only happened once so I’m reformatting them in camera and moving forward. I’m going to use them around town this weekend for casual shots and see if I get another issue. I bought 4 in total, the price being the obvious draw compared to the others, but it doesn’t do you any good if they don’t work as they’re supposed to.

If you’re getting this to use in a GH5s (I’ve been told it’s also the same across most Panasonic cameras) – DON’T! It comes up with a write speed error, (despite only recording a few seconds of 1080p)

Works well with my Panasonic HC X1 in 4k mode. One of the review features I am asked for is “softness” (I kid you not). Had to give one star as unfortunately this card is too hard to put into the body.
