SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO SDXC card + RescuePRO Deluxe, up

 

I find that 4K video eats storage and the 64Gb card I own was not up to a days filming. This one is fine. I don’t seem to have any issues with data speed either so I am a happy man!

 

This is more of a reveiw for both the product AND amazon. And i dont often advise people on where to buy stuff.

The card is fast enough to do what needs to be done, a capacity that you shouldnt run out of space easily, unless you are going 100% raw and left your finger on the shutter button.

This comes with a 12month sub to sandisk software, cannot for the life of me remember what it is called, i think it is a recovery thing. Anyway, that was a bonus that popped into my head.

Buy this with confidence, i have bought a lot of memory cards over the decades, and it is a minefield, I got fed up of buying cards that were bogus, might say, lets say., 8gb on the card but only be a 2gb one. There are a lot knocking around, and sadly i have even had one on amazon.

Over the recent years, or decade, i havent had a bad one from amazon. Remember when buying that sometimes if it looks to good to be true, it probably is – like a 1tb card for 5. What i also so is always check the capacity is what it says it is, i dont think i would be allowed to put the name of the little program i use on here, but do a dr google search for memory card checker, its defaults to german so remember to select the english. I just run it and leave to give me the end report.

Thats not just advice for this one, this IS a genuine one, but for ANY, so many scammers out there.

 

These memory card is designed to meet the demands of professional photographers and videographers who require fast and reliable storage for their high-resolution content. Easy recommendation for anyone who wants to buy.

 

I have these in all my apsc Sony cameras now and never let me down.

 

Not used it yet so cannot speak as to durability! Arrived as promised and as described.

 

I’ve always used the SanDisk brand and have never had any issues. This one comes with a higher transfer rating and works well. Would happily buy agai

 

The advertised product has a high read and write speed. For my photographic use.
Still to be put to test.

 

I’ve bought dozens of these Extreme cards over the years (95MB/s, 100MB/s, 170MB/s and now 200MB/s editions), so I know exactly what to expect. But what I didn’t realise until recently is that Sandisk’s SD card speeds are stated much higher than you would typically get, unless you own a very specific SD card reader.

Sandisk’s recent UHS-I (64GB and higher) cards now have “SanDisk QuickFlow Technology” in order to reach these faster speeds. If you do not own a SD card reader with this SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, you will struggle to see consistent speeds much above the standard SD UHS-1 read speeds – approximately 100MB/s (that’s about 90MB/s write speed). It shouldn’t matter what version of USB-C interface is used, since 200MB/s is the same as 1.6Gbps – i.e. still much less than the 5Gbps speed of USB 3.0 (aka 3.2 gen 1) and much less than the 10Gbps of USB 3.2 gen 2. Any USB-3 port should be fast enough.

Sandisk’s Extreme Pro USH-II USB-C reader (previously sold with these cards) does NOT include Quickflow Technology. The Sandisk Professional card readers that do have Quickflow have their own caveats (the one with a CF card slot can reach speeds of 170MB/s, the one without a CF card slot can reach 200MB/s but cannot read the additional pins from UHS-II cards). Google “SanDisk Quickflow Tech Brief” for clarification – because it’s a mess to understand.

I would also state that I’ve always bought my cards shipped by and SOLD BY Amazon. The seller is important – as you will always get the real thing. I would be wary of using any Warehouse versions as you don’t know who the original seller is. These Extreme and Extreme PRO cards have always been prone to fake knockoffs. The prices here also fluctuate a lot, so I always put the desired cards in my wish list and pounce when it drops.

I personally steer away from their Sandisk’s “Ultra” line, simply because I’ve had too many failures – something I’ve never experienced with the “Extreme” products. So the extra is worth it if reliability is a necessity.

I’ve had the luxury of dealing with Sandisk warranty support a few times (typically the SD card becomes ‘locked’ and cannot be formatted properly), and they have always been excellent to deal with. Just take a photograph of the serial number and fill out a form on their website. They usually send back a better card anyway.

Hope that helps.

 

Good value for money, as well as being fast and reliable with plenty of storage capacity. The only downside is that unfortunately, it isn’t compatible with my laptop.

 

Recording 4K and 5K video at high frame rates requires a fast memory card, which is why I bought the Sandisc Extreme Pro. With a 200mbs write speed and 64GB this memory card is the best compromise between speed, memory capacity and price.

4K and 5K video requires a lot of memory card space and 64GB is more than enough for short 10 second — 30 second stock footage clips. If you shoot longer footage 64GB can fill up quickly so this is something to consider.

I have used Sandisc memory cards for several years and it has been my go to brand for all the cameras I have owned and still own. I have always found Sandisc memory cards fast, reliable and well made and this Extreme Pro card is no different.
