TL;DR It's okay, but I wouldn't take important pictures on this card.First the positives:The lofty claimed speeds on the card and the relatively low price drew me to this card, and this card is indeed pretty fast for its price class (it was £13 at time of review). This card, in my Pentax K-S2, can fire around 50 pictures continuously (which is just below 10 seconds of sustained picture taking) before the SD card's performance forces the camera to slow down. This is much better than the Lexar 633x which comes in at a very similar price (£11.49 at time of review), but can only handle about 25 continuous pictures before slowing to a crawl. This measure of performance doesn't apply to everyone,but it's a good indicator of performance.Now, the negatives:Err.. Where do I start with this one... Okay, firstly the capacity? Most 64gb advertised cards have around 60gb of space. The two 64gb cards I have that aren't this one, a Samsung Evo and a Lexar 633x, have 59.68gb and 59.67gb respectively. This card has 57.94gb of space. This can be for a variety of reasons, the most common one being the manufacturer leaving more space in reserve to improve reliability and/or performance. Considering how cheap SD cards are these days (gone are the days I go to Ryman's to pay £20+ for a 8gb card), this might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on person. Another reason could be that whoever supplies Integral with NAND (it's probably Toshiba), makes their flash chips in slightly different size increments compared to Samsung and Micron (Lexar may have moved on since they're not under Micron anymore). This probably won't make or break your decision to buy this card, though I certainly would take better speeds for 2gb of capacity.Secondly, the card doesn't read nearly as fast as advertised, even under testing conditions. See the pic I uploaded. But then again, most advertised numbers on SD cards are complete lies. Basically only 500Mb/s class cards don't massively lie in some way on the packaging.Lastly, and most importantly, it seems this card isn't 100% rock-stable. Some odd things occasionally happen when I'm using this card. Sometimes the Camera fails to detect the focal length of my 18-300mm Sigma lens, which I have never seen before, and needs to be restarted. After the restart, it works as if nothing happened. Sometimes the card partially corrupts itself if you don't properly unmount the card from my PC, which I haven't encountered with SD cards since the late 2000s, and needs to be repaired (not reformatted) using Windows. Sometimes the card isn't properly read by the K-S2, and needs to be re-inserted, it's either a "SD NOT FORMATTED" or "SD ERROR" message. This may or may not be a problem on other DSLRs.So, you should only really buy this card if your use-case requires it; for example you like taking pictures of small birds/animals, cars, trains, and other fast moving objects, at a casual capacity. But if the pictures you're taking are important, it might be worth spending a bit more, the ProGrade V60 looks good on paper (I don't own one, so I can't speak for anything other than the spec sheet). If you're a casual snapper, I'd recommend the Lexar 633x; it's cheap, fast enough, and in my experience reliable. Sandisk cards are also good, but there's loads of fakes in circulation so I try to avoid them if possible (unless you're getting it from Amazon themselves, though I've heard of fakes being mixed into official Amazon stock in the past). (Review over, short Samsung rant) I've personally had a very poor experience with Samsung, in my small data set of 5 cards, they have the highest failiure rate (of 80%) and have refused to honor warranties in all cases. Don't buy Samsung cards.

I've just used one of these (actually have two, this and a 256gb card) for a wedding in my Canon 6D mk1. Absolutely faultless and not once delayed by read or write time.It can hold more JPEG than the camera can calculate so of great comfort knowing i had plenty of space and that including several min or so long clips at 30fps HD.It was specified that i take some movie footage during the speech as fake lottery cards were part of the fun and the shock on faces was required in video format. Essentially, both the camera and card nailed it, speed was perfectly adequate and no hesitation or read write issues arose, this with snapping photos to the same card mid movie.I believe i put a good bit of strain on this card during the day and it performed faultlessly.Hence my going on to purchase the larger version. Good cards at a value you really cannot knock. 10/10!

As a professional wedding photographer, I have always been very wary about using cheap cards. Fearing they may be more likely to let me down and risk data loss for what is a critical, once in a lifetime event that cannot be repeated.Plus I have also found that the claims from manufacturer's to be let's say 'over optimistic'. As such I've always stuck to Sandisk.But at this price, I decided to give Integral a try. To my surprise, the performance was not far off the claimed speeds and on a par with the Sandisk Extreme Pro's. All at a fraction of the price.I've used them for several weddings and so far so good. Sony cameras can be quite picky with the SD cards they use but the Integrals have been flawless so far.Right now,I would recommend everyone buys these instead of the Sandisk. Very similar/same performance but so much cheaper!

I have a Nikon camera with two SD card slots, and I set it up so that all the images on card 1 are backed up onto card 2, instead of using each card in sequence. I therefore needed as large a capacity as possible to cope with the demands of a two week holiday, and I bought a couple of these. Prices have come down so much recently that it seems pointless to buy anything less than 128GB.I have owned many cameras over the years, and phones, and MP3 players, and I've bought literally dozens of SD and micro SD cards, and I have never once had one fail. Maybe I've been lucky?Transfer speeds are on a par with other equally rated cards, so all I can say is that unless you buy a fake card [I always buy cards sold by Amazon,never third party sellers] and assuming they work, I don't see any reason to give less than a five star review.

A lot of advertisers claim how big, how powerful, how fast, well the V30 speed lives up to it's claim, I use a professional camera that records at 4k, 50 frames/sec and also can do all i frames (less compression) and this card keeps up, so far not a single frame has been dropped, long term use, well to early to comment but I use the card to around half capacity most days then reformat it and so far it's been rock steady.What I would love to see, faster yet so I can record 10 bit instead of 8 bit, as I have to use an external recorder which adds bulk, I know they are some new faster cards but you need deep pockets has the price for these still need to drop, well maybe 2 or 3 years from now,my camera will fit in my pocket, record internally to a SD card at 10 bit, the rest may come true but a pocket pro camera haha!

So, the reason I wanted to buy this card was because it's a great price, and from other peoples reviews it works with little to no issues.The other reason I wanted to get this card was to test out if it could record 4K at 400mbps.The answer is this: Yes it can record 4K at 400mbps, BUT from the card it can only record for around 30-50 seconds before the camera stops and warns that the card can't keep up.So yeah for anyone who wants to buy this card, be warned that it will be limited to 30-50 Seconds (may be less depending on what camera you use.) of recording before it stops.So if your doing super short clips then yeah should be fine,if not then you will have to pay double for the really good cards.But all other recording rates below 400mbps have work fine with not forced stopping at all.

I bought the same card on Bay for around £35 and was getting 10kb transfer speeds, it literally took days to transfer a few gig. It turned out the card was counterfeit! So I ordered a Kingston Canvas on Bay and it didnt have a hologram on the front, another fake, and it gave persistent 'bad sector' notifications. I purchased this card (the fastest one for £59) of this supplier and I am overjoyed to announce it is amazingly fast. Using it as a backup drive in a laptop it flashed through 150Gb of transfer in about an hour. I'm a bit sick of getting stung on the other site to save a few quid, its worth paying the extra for the real protection Amazon offers. Very pleased and highly recommended.

I actually bought one of these to store Hi-Res music on, rather than using an external drive, and it has been very effective. Hi-Res music files are large, but the incredibly high transfer speeds ensure copying anything over to it is kept to a minimum. I have 2 laptops with a spring-loaded SD slot that allows the card to be fully inserted (rather than some where the slot is shallow and half of it protrudes) and it is a much neater solution than my previous external drive. The high read speeds also ensure there are no issues when playing music back through desktop software. The convenient form factor also means I can pop it in my wallet and carry between work and home easily.

I got this for my Sony Compact Mirrorless Camera.Easy to insert (it’s like a usb in the sense you never put it in the correct way the first time haha)Uploaded photos and videos very quickly as I was taking them. Didn’t have that dreaded “processing” message come up, not once.I took 687 photos and 211 videos at my sisters wedding. Still had huge amounts of storage space left.To upload the photos to my pc I just connected the camera with the SD card inserted, once they were all uploaded, just select ‘delete memory card’ and within seconds they were gone which was great. Very fast and all in all, extremely happy.

Updated 21st April 2020I already own several Integral SD Cards and just purchased another yesterday and these provide you with terrific value and performance, used in a couple of high end camera and been using these now for over 18 months with zero issues.Even using it to store 4k video which it has done flawlessly.Highly recommended and this new one is addition to a 32gb card. Interesting thing this will allow me to take around 900 images in RAW format so well impressed.Highly recommend these and performance is as good as cards costing much more that I own.

12.7.2020

Love the cost and Card capacity. Just upgraded to a lot more pixels and needed greater storage as a 32gb card was too small for 40+mpx file sizes. Having upgraded my camera I needed a cheap but larger SD card with good write speed and these fitted the bill as a modern Digi shooter I am less profligate with my speed burst (unlike shooting with film) I also bracket my shots over and under by 2 each way so generally have 5 file for each image so a larger than normal card is needed. So far not run out of card space but I have twin slots lol.

17.9.2019

I've got quite a few of these Integral cards now. They are brilliant compared to their cost.Performance is nearly as good as the Sandisk Extreme Pro's but at a fraction of the cost.So far I've not had any failures. I mean I always shoot with dual cards anyway so chances of both failing are extremely low but I still would rather use reliable cards.I honestly have no hesitation in recommending these. I know quite a few photographers/videographers who use these cards now and so far have heard no complaints either.

30.6.2019

I bought this for my latest digital camera so that I never run out of capacity when out shooting landscapes, wildlife, etc., in highest resolution RAW format. The speed is important too, as my camera can shoot 4K bursts for frame capture and focus stacking, where high write speeds are important to get the best shots. I would say that this card is also big and fast enough to load a computer operating system on to, even Windows 10, so it could be used for a small portable computer too. Good product at a good price!

23.6.2020

Excellent for video recording at all HD standards, and 4k up to around 50 FPS without high compression. If using, say, 130 FPS for crisp smooth results without compression flaws, you'll need the 180 Mbps speed SD card. 50 FPS is actually twice the frame rate of standard HD TV so you really shouldn't need more. May not be recognised if used on older equipment which can't read the huge TOC and access the memory addressing system. Ooh, I've waxed technical. Just Google the bits you don't understand.

26.2.2020

Never bought an SD card from this brand before but it looks good and is a good price as well after my last SD card failed I thought I would try a different manufacture, It has mostly good review with some negatives but overall positive, it has a fast read/write speed (u3 rated) so good for 4K and is High-temperature resistance, water-resistant, Shockproof and X-ray proof. Hopefully, I won't lose any more video footage.The video I made shows you unpacking and installing them into my camera.
