After having trouble getting Transcend cards with the advertised capacity (many of them seem to be 120 GB/60 GB instead of 128 GB/64 GB despite being sold as such) I just waited for a SanDisk card to go on offer. I was originally going to just get the Extreme, but when the Extreme PRO goes down to a lower price than the former you haven't really got anything to lose!Card arrived promptly. My only gripe with the packaging is that there doesn't appear to be a simple way into the outer cardboard box: perforations would be nice! The inner packaging is excellent and the film peels cleanly off the plastic (made from recycled PET) in one piece.I then checked the capacity: 64 GB (59.4 GiB). Hurray!

As a professional photographer/videographer, I know how important it is to have fast and reliable storage. When I saw these cards on sale on Amazon Prime Day, I had to snap a couple up, grabbing the 64gb and 128gb at amazingingly low prices.Benefits -Big storage - most modern cameras are shooting well in excess of 20mp images and video absolutely drains storage, in particular if you are shooting 4k! These cards have plenty of capacity to make sure you never run short!Fast!!! - These cards are plenty quick enough for most normal read/write speeds in this class with the added bonus of being able to handle 4k footage - fast write speeds are essential and the Extreme Pro's are amongst the best!Reliable - I have used these cards for years and never once had one fail,

I've had two batches of two 32Gb with about 6 months between each purchase. In light of other reviews about speed and fraud, I did test with h2testw and SpeedOut with this last batch I had purchased in the past few days. The read and write speeds did not exceed 24MB/s. I was all ready to return to Amazon, but then decided to test my other cards - which also showed slow speeds and no-where near the 95MB/s suggested by Sandisk. I though that was odd because the earlier batch have been really good fast cards and not slowed my workflow at all.I then read up about testing and established the built-in SD card reader to my laptop and desktop may hinder the speed.I purchased the HAMA USB 3.1 type C card reader,

I purchased one of these cards prior to visiting the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, where I knew I would be photographing some very high-speed jets. A high ‘write’ speed is essential for this type photography if you want to get those all-important shots without the camera buffering. I’m pleased to say the card worked extremely well with my EOS 5D MkIV in high-speed continuous mode. There was a noticeable improvement in speed both whilst using the camera and also downloading the images. It’s too early to comment on the reliability of this card, or video use, (I only do still photography), but my other SanDisk cards have proved reliable.If high speed action is your thing it’s probably worth the fairly hefty price tag for the 300MB/s card,

Quite possibly the only 5 star review you'll see me write, ever!SanDisk are second only to Lexar in my opinion. SanDisk have and continue to make stunning flash memory products. I've used a combination of Lexar and SanDisk SD cards and neither have failed me. Both read and write speeds are accurate and when shooting in RAW, the only thing to slow me down is my cameras buffer, not the card.One point I would like to make clear, the 95 MB/s rating is for the cards "read" speed, not it's "write" speed. I've seen comments that the write speed is no where near the 95 MB/s claim. SanDisk are not claiming 95 MB/s write, only read.Like all flash memory products, the cost of these cards fluctuate.

I've always opted for SanDisk Extreme Pro SD cards because I've found they provide me exactly what I need for my camera.Pros:1. Good writing speed for photography and uploading to PC2. Enough storage size for a good price.3. I feel safer using this card, it seems based on my experience with other brands that there's a lower chance of SanDisk Extreme Pro cards malfunctioning.4. It also looks nice (I don't know if this is something people care about, but I like it)Cons:1. I can't comment on tech support, as I haven't had to use it.2. Writing speed not 170MB/s (so the described speed actually refers to the read speed, but if you want speeds like this, you have to be willing to pay loads more,

I've used SanDisk SDHC cards for ages and always found them to be reliable (famous last words?) and the Extreme Pro card's speed makes it ideal for fast burst photography and 4K video.I only ever use 32GB cards (I have half a dozen of them!) because, although their content is regularly backed up to memory sticks or hard drives, I'd rather risk losing only that amount of data than that on one of the larger capacity cards. I can't even begin to imagine what I'd do if a 512GB card crashed!Two 32GB cards work out slightly cheaper per gigabyte than one 64GB too (59p compared to 61p). However, it has to be admitted that the larger cards beat them both on price (the 512GB card is around 46p per

I have 4 extreme pro cards in my 2 Nikon's that I use with no problems what so ever. About to photograph a wedding I got it into my head that I should get another even although I knew it would not be needed. I ordered this card and installed it noticing the write speed was double that of the other cards. Compared to my last shoot the number of spoiled photos was miniscule and I can only assume the faster card gave me more scope to capture more info with less buffering. I am going to replace the old 4 cards with this one or save up and buy even faster cards. It's a shame the superfast cards are so expensive but I can now see why.

I wanted something fast to sit inside a new Olympus Pen F - when the camera arrived I put in an old SanDisk 4GB just to play around.. and it was clearly struggling with the write speed. Ran a quick test with the Extreme PRO in burst mode when it arrived and no problems. I did look at some test results where the Lexar equivalent came out a fraction ahead but I then ran into a couple of articles suggesting there was a compatibility issues between these and the Pen F .. this might by now have been rectified but as I'd been happy with SanDisk in the past I went for them again. (no problems over 4-5 months with the first .. bought a 2nd for longer days out / spare)

This was purchased for its very high USS-1 performance, the ruggedness and reliability is a given from the extream pro as well as other sandisk cards outside of the extreme pro range. I chose this card for its burst write speeds that are higher than other variants and would empty my buffer quickly, however the deciding factor was my need to wire images fast in the field, so the read speed just sold the card . Remember this is a UHS 1 card. Faster UHS 11 cards are available but perform slower than rated in non UHS ii devices. This card is twice the price of a comparable fast card however it will give a slight advantage overall during post production.

Very impressed, I am very aware of the counterfeit memory cards online but i thought I'm protected by PayPal worth giving it a shot. I'm normally a believer of if its too good to be true it usually is.Item arrived quickly and is 100% genuine.I am a photographer using the Sony A7rIII a high speed high resolution camera demanding a lot from the SD card and i have fully tested the speeds of this card and it is living up to expectations.To top this I also ran this past Sandisk and they have confirmed it is a genuine card with full warranty.So if you need a new SD card and want to save 40-50% get them from here, you wont be disappointed.

Bought this because of good experience of SanDisk brand in our office equipment. Not used it to give a fair review but claimed write speed should be sufficient for Nikon D750 recording video or multiple stills taken with motor drive at full speed. Of the SanDisk branded data storage, there has only been 1 failure with a USB 3.0 thumb drive whereas had perhaps two with Transcent (our 2nd favourite brand). Lexar's tend to be more expensive if you can find the speed and capacity you want. We have not tried Samsung or other major brands. Have used smaller capacities in the desert and offshore so their products have proven themselves.

I'm using this largely as additional solid state RAM for a Chromebook. So I'm not really making it work very hard for its living most of the time. But it certainly doesn't disappoint in that context. And there is a significant advantage in over-specification, namely that the card doesn't get at all hot, however hard I work it. So it should have a very good lifespan. In other words, it works well for me and I can't in all conscience award it less than five stars, but because my usage is a little idiosyncratic, that shouldn't be taken as a general recommendation.

Needed fast sd card for my Nikon D500. XQD are faster but I want sd as my primary card in D500. Capable of huge buffer capacity if I take 12 bit raw files at 10 frames per second. With this card fitted I can take 12 bit raw into primary card and jpeg fine into secondary card with no loss of speed. Little bit expensive but used a £5 voucher to reduce price. Why compromise Nikon D500 with an inferior card. Make sure your camera is UHS ii compatible to ensure these speeds. Otherwise buy a sandisk extreme pro 32 gb with 95 Mb/s read / write rate. RR

I bought this for my Nikon D5300 to speed up saving of images, especially when taking multiple shots (I do not use video). I inserted the card and formatting was instant. When taking photos at highest quality (6000 x 4000 pixels - 24MP - approx 20MB file size) saving is all but instantaneous. By the time the mirror has returned after a shot, the image is saved. Definately recommend if you want a fast card, and at this price, there is no reason to get a slower card (my normal 64GB card took about 3 secondsa per image). Definately recommend.
