Description

4K video and burst shooting without the wait

Under the standard, video class V30 means sustained writing of at least 30 MB/s, which is what 4K UHD video needs. A peak write speed of 150 MB/s helps with burst shooting and Full HD slow motion, when the camera sends a lot of data to the card at once. For backing up and organising files, the manufacturer offers the SanDisk Memory Zone desktop app.

Who this memory card is for

The card is for photographers and videographers whose DSLR or mirrorless camera takes SDXC cards and records 4K video. 256 GB covers a long shooting day, and a card rated for cold and heat also suits hiking trips or winter shoots.

Questions & answers

Is the card suitable for 4K video?

Yes. The manufacturer names it for 4K UHD video, and it carries the U3 and V30 classes generally recommended for 4K. Check your camera manual for its exact requirement.

Why does my computer copy files slower than 230 MB/s?

230 MB/s is a peak speed, and the card reader or the computer card slot has to support it. A standard UHS-I reader may be slower.

Does the card work in the cold?

According to the manufacturer, the operating temperature is −25 to 85 °C, and the card is temperature and moisture proof.
