SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Memory Card up to 170MB/s, UHS-1, Class 10, U3, V30, Black

Product Information

SD cards have been around for a long time and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to be outdated soon. Even modern devices like drones and handheld gimbal cameras still use SD cards, mostly because of how wonderfully compact and lightweight they are. They’re also hot-swappable, which means you don’t need to be limited by some built-in storage system.

However, even the higher capacity offerings – such as this CompactFlash 800x series – are hardly expensive for what’s on offer. Capacities run from a standard 32GB up to 256GB. Specification is also impressive for a budget card, with read speeds of up to 120MB/s and write speeds of 60 MB/s, although actual performance, of course, is affected by camera hardware and software. Durable and reliable, there’s even a built-in error-correcting code to detect and correct any transfer errors. CFexpress Type B CompactFlash used to be the preferred format for higher-end DSLRs. However, with the improved performance of SDHC and SDXC cards (and the introduction of newer memory card formats as well), this memory card format is growing more rare.Capacity:** With a spacious 128GB capacity, this SD card provides ample storage space for your high-resolution photos and 4K UHD videos. This is especially beneficial for photographers who shoot in RAW format or do extensive video recording, as it minimizes the need to frequently change cards or offload data during a shoot. Looking at their relative specs, the cost of an Extreme Pro SD card is quite easy to justify. It’s at least 20% faster than the Extreme and around twice as fast as the Ultra. If you plan to use these SD cards for professional photography and filmmaking, then the Extreme Pro is tough to beat. The Extreme Pro is considered by many to be one of the best SD cards for high-level photography work whether it’s by DSLR cameras, drones, handheld gimbals, or 360 cameras. Compatible device required. Full HD (1920x1080) and 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) support may vary based upon host device, file attributes and other factors. See www.sandisk.com/HD While the higher capacity cards increase in price exponentially, the 633x appears in sizes as small as 16GB, making it suitable for a wide range of photographers and videographers alike who require all kinds of capacities for casual or professional use. We found its write speed to be a little slow compared to other UHS-I cards in this class range, but it’s good value for money and the V30/U3 class listing means it’s still suitable for up to 4K UHD video recording.

As a photographer, having a reliable and high-performance memory card is crucial for storing and transferring precious photos and videos. The SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card (SDSDXXY-128G-GN4IN) is a popular choice among photographers, and here's a review from that perspective: If you're often working with high quality 4K video, ProRes video, or RAW photos from cameras such as the Canon EOS-1DX Mark II, then you'll know the value of a card that can keep up with what you're shooting. Perfect for shooting 4K UHD video and sequential burst mode photography, Full HD (1920x1080) and 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video support may vary based upon host device, file attributes and other factors Attention all photography enthusiasts and Canon lovers, get ready to witness the perfect partnership of cutting-edge technology with the SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB SDXC Memory Card and your Canon 5D Mark IV! 📸💥Price:** While this card is not the cheapest option on the market, it offers excellent value for its performance and reliability. As a photographer, investing in a quality memory card is essential to safeguard your work and ensure smooth shooting sessions. The extra capacity that an Extreme Pro card also gives it an extra boost if you store media in large formats. Again, 4K videos are good examples. This can also be useful if you save in RAW format, which stores a greater amount of information that can be useful in post-processing and color grading.

Shot speeds up to 90MB/s, transfer speeds up to 170MB/s [requires a compatible device capable of reaching such speeds, such as the SanDisk SD UHS I card reader (sold separately)]. Based on internal testing; Performance may be lower depending upon host device, interface, usage conditions and other factors 1MB=1,000,000 bytes; X = 150KB/sec The Transcend SDXC UHS-II U3 is a belter that delivers whether you're shooting raw files or high-resolution video. While the 64GB maximum capacity (the alternative being 32GB) may appear a little modest at first compared with other options here, the performance is anything but, with blisteringly swift read and write times of 285MB/s and 180 MB/s respectively. The Transcend did superbly in its speed tests, excelling the claimed write speed (180MB/s) with a whopping 224MB/s, but falling slightly short on the read speed with 224MB/s. Overall, that makes this card an impressive buy at a reasonable cost. This card is ideal for high resolution, rapid-fire stills photography and 8K video, with 4K and HD video being recorded comfortably, too.

microSDHC and microSDXC cards will offer a similar performance to their larger SDHC and SDXC siblings. However, they're around a third of the size and can be used in the best camera phones and best action cameras. Capture fast-action photos or shoot 4K UHD video 2 with write speeds of up to 140MB/s. 8 The SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I Card lets you shoot more and faster. It is not just cameras that use microSD cards, of course. And one of the most popular devices to use this memory type at the moment is undoubtedly the Nintendo Switch handheld console, and its baby brother the Nintendo Switch Lite. The slot in memory is not only great for expanding the number of games you carry, but also for taking screenshots and videos of your victories and adventures. As an upgrade to the standard SD card, SDHC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) cards offer memory capacities between 4GB and 32GB. This makes them great for everyday use and entry-level users who don't have large storage capacity needs. If you’re shooting raw files you want a card that can handle sequential bursts of the highest quality imagery, as well as a capacity that allows for sufficient storage to avoid having to swap cards every five minutes.
