The Kingston Canvas Plus is pretty straight forward and is basically plug-and-play. The endpoint is that you get a card that fits your needs. If you’re a content creator or like doing multimedia, the Kingston Canvas React Plus cares are the way to go if you are willing to pay the premium to attain the Class 10 UHS-II U3 speeds and that awesome card reader.
If you’re doing it as a hobby or want to go for something that would fit your budget, go for the Kingston CanvasGo! Plus series. It costs slightly higher than the entry-level Select Plus cards and you get the better A2 app performance class.
