Description

The SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card 256GB is an SDXC memory card with a formatted capacity of 256 GB. It is built on the UHS-I bus interface and features a V30 Video Speed Class and U3 Speed Class rating, guaranteeing a minimum sustained write speed of 30 MB/s. This is critical for recording smooth 4K UHD video and sequential burst mode photography without dropping frames.

The key to its performance is the use of proprietary SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, which enables sequential read speeds of up to 200 MB/s and write speeds up to 140 MB/s. This allows for a fast and efficient workflow, as you can quickly offload large files from the card to your computer. For optimal performance, the drive should be paired with a compatible card reader, such as the SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD. As with other SanDisk products, this card is designed for durability and is shockproof, X-ray proof, waterproof, and temperature-proof, making it a reliable choice for use in extreme environments. The card also includes a built-in write-protect switch to prevent accidental data erasure and comes with a limited lifetime warranty and a 2-year offer for RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software.

It’s important to note that there is also a separate UHS-II version of the SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB SD card which is significantly faster, with read speeds of up to 300MB/s and write speeds up to 260MB/s, but requires a UHS-II compatible camera and card reader to achieve those speeds.
