I purchased these cards after looking around to see what is available these days. I needed new (higher capacity) cards for a Canon EOS R6 mirrorless camera that I finally upgraded to after years of drooling over the newer camera bodies and capabilities. It has dual card slots and is capable of capturing 4K video, so I wanted to make sure I had a memory card that was capable of putting up with that sort of throughput.I looked around and found these. I have used SanDisk SD cards in the past for many years and have never had a problem with them, so I chose to go this route here as well. I am not disappointed in that decision!The cards work great, and after the initial format, I have been able to put them in the camera as well as into a SD card dock to get images, video, and firmware transferred between computer and camera.

So, I was reading through a lot of the reviews and reading that this card was a knockoff. So I was very apprehensive about purchasing this card. But, since I recently got a new camera I needed this card urgently in order to shoot in 4K.Upon receiving the card I noticed that the memory card itself said: “Made in Malaysia”. So I thought the card may be a knock-off. Especially after reading some reviewers write that Sandisk doesn’t manufacture card’s in Malaysia (which I found out wasn’t true). However, I was able to register the card with Sandisk/Western Digital and the serial number went through with no problem. I also took it a step further and reached out to Sandisk support with my card’s serial number and asked if the card I purchased was an authentic Sandisk product. I got the following response:”Thank you for contacting SanDisk® Global Customer Support. We appreciate your time and efforts in reaching out to us.As per the serial number you have provided, it appears to be an authentic SanDisk® retail brand product. We thank you for taking the time to review this and appreciate your assistance.”So there you have it. Don’t listen to these reviewers who claim these aren’t authentic cards. Buy this card off of Amazon with peace of mind knowing that it is indeed a legit authentic Sandisk memory card. It’s the fastest card in its class in the market and it does what I needed it to do. And you can’t beat Amazon’s price.

1/7/2020: This memory card will NOT work with Canon EOS R when shooting video. With the rating of V30 on this card, you want V60. At first, I was shooting 4K/30fps with the ALL-i option but started to choke. Then I realized as I only just got this camera recently that it needed a V60 card. I know the V90 is even faster but it’s way more expensive.12/19/19: Test with Crystaldiskmark and shows it’s capable for my Canon EOS R writing 4K files. Definitely, an awesome memory card for the price as the 300MB/s version is wayyyy more.My review isn’t to squash this product at all as I shoot both photos and videos on my Sony a7Riii for a living so it’s critical that the memory card can keep up.This UHS-I card definitely is worth the money and maybe overkill for most shooters unless you’re shooting 4K videos and need a memory card that can clear the buffer relatively fast.My results are based on two of these cards as I need backup as I travel and the last thing I need is two cards going bad…I rather have extras on hand (as much as I’ve yet to have a memory card fail me for over 15 years).With my Sony a7Riii, I was able to continuously shoot 10 minutes of 4K, 24fps (at 100MB/s) as shown on the file. I’m glad both cards were legit as I usually don’t buy memory cards from here with all the horror stories. Gray tab tested good but the only thing I couldn’t test is the actual read/write with the real UHS-II & I card reader which I don’t currently have and is on order.With that said, yes, for 4K shooters, this card will shoot just fine at full uncompressed 100MB/s setting. Now if you shoot sports or have high-end DSLR’s and mirrorless, this is based on my test tonight but here’s the result between this and the two Sandisk Extreme 128GB PRO (about $200 each ugh).Burst shot results with this card: 30 shots (at 1/8000″) on my a7Riii, 39 seconds to clear the bufferBurst shot results with Sandisk Extreme Pro 300, only 17 seconds to clear the bufferSo it depends on how much you shoot in burst and how often. Obviously, if your camera has lower resolution and doesn’t shoot continuously, this card should be more than enough considering how expensive the Pro 300 is. In fact, I don’t feel like I take full advantage of the Pro 300 as I currently don’t have the UHS-II card reader as much as I shoot a lot of videos these days.If you have any expensive camera, get the best memory cards. I’ve yet to have Sandisk memory cards fail on me (knock on wood). I just can’t use Samsung as Sony doesn’t play well with Samsung cards as confirmed by other pro photographers & filmmakers. It’s odd…

I use Canon DSLRs and for years and years used the CF chips. They would usually works well, sometimes fail after years of use but they didn’t seem to write that fast. On a Canon 7D MK II, it would sometimes seem like the chip was not writing fast enough to keep up with the camera.So far I’ve used this chip with a Canon 7D MK II and a 5DS-R. The 7D was used for birds in flight and the 5DS of course used for landscapes. So far when using this chip, the 7D has never locked up or backed up while shooting as the camera was writing to this chip.The 5DS is not used to shoot as fast as the 7D but the file sizes are or course massive. There has been no backup or lag when shooting bracketed shots with the 5DS.For about $30 via Amazon Warehouse, this chip was a great buy. It’s only been in use for about 2 weeks so can’t comment on how it holds up over time.

I tested this drive with a USB adapter for a PC, and tested with large video files to get an idea of the read/write speeds.The read speed exceeded the specs, working with about 15GB of data. I was reading at about 185 MB/s over 15GB of data read from this drive and written to an NVMe which is a bit faster. Considering this is rated for 170MB/s, that’s quite good.The write speed wasn’t as good based on how it’s rated, but I still find it close enough to rate it 5 stars. Once again, writing to this drive, and coming from an NVMe, it was writing at about 85MB/s, and this is rated for 90MB/s.However, the way my system wrote to this drive was almost as if this has about 4GB very fast cache, or it has a small segment of very fast storage, because my system showed that within about 5-6 seconds it had already written about 4GB to it. Then it slowed down and it was showing something like 160 – 180MB/s for a time period, and then the write operation for the PC showed as complete. The USB adapter though was still showing activity, meaning that data was still in the process of getting written, and probably from it’s fastest storage to slower storage. The time I calculated for the write time included all the time that the USB adapter was showing activity. If I would have based the write time on when the computer showed the write was completed, the write speed would have been more like 100MB/sI tried to read about these SD cards but couldn’t see anything about faster cache or a small amount of fast storage, but that’s the way the disk seems to work as far as what the Operating System showed. I know that modern SSDs use that strategy to improve performance, so when you test write operations, you always have to write more data than the size of the cache to see the speed that the main storage runs at.Either way, I’m very impressed with it, and as long as it lasts a long time I’ll be happy. It was a great price when I bought it and worth every penny.

I was a little leery of ordering this because some customers said they got a knock off card. Based on the pictures another customer posted to identify the real cards from the fake ones, mine looks like the real deal. I tried it in my camera (Nikon D5600) and it fit perfectly except when I go to remove it…. I usually just push down and it pops up for me to grab it, this one does not pop up and I have to use my thumb nail to kind of lift it up and then pull it out of my camera port. and I recorded on it and then put it into my computer to download the pics I took on it. Again, the original card goes into the computer port and when I give a little push it pops out for removal. This one does not click it, I push it into the opening and then it begins uploading to my computer and then I just pull it out without having to push it in to make it op out, so not sure if the sizing is a little off or what but all in all, it works great, so I’m still giving it 5 stars and I’m happy with the purchase.

As expected it does what it says it does. I have seen a lot of one star reviews from people saying that its a misleading title and they do not get the speeds claimed, but I guess people didn’t read the full features list because it says clearly in the description[requires a compatible device capable of reaching such speeds, such as the SanDisk SD UHS I card reader (sold separately)]I have the card reader and it does hit the speeds that are advertised. This is a really good card and it records 4K video like a champ. I just get frustrated when i see 1 star reviews that are not warranted because the buyer didn’t read past the title. I sell online and have received 1 star reviews because a buyer had a hard time opening the box (not kidding). I do not work for sandisk nor do i care to, but bottom line is the card does what it says it does.

So this has happened to me before, especially on Flash drives, Micro SD, as well as SD cards, Is they say they are 256 GB and are actually 32 GB, If you look at the Properties on a SD CARD, It might say 256, or 128, DONT TRUST THAT. Asian Manufacturers Make Amazing looking Fakes, Name Brands, and Sd Cards/Flash drives that can cause huge issues. So Whenever you Buy one, Please Take a Bunch of Movie Files, Mp4 Files, Tv series, and anything that basically takes up a lot of space. Make sure the files work, and Transfer them over to the card, on a card like 256 GB can take a long time. so as long as you go over 128 GB, or get close to your 256 GB capacity, that should do it. Then open the files from the card, and make sure they are there. If an error happens when you try and open them, try a bunch, you will see the cards some times are designed so if they know they are gonna hit capacity. They make fake files, that are the names and titles, but no content or data is stored. THIS CARD AS OF NOW IS GOOD TO GO AND I WOULD RECOMEND IT AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE CAPACITY AS PROMISED.

Wanted to get a SD card that could go into my freshly purchased digital picture frame, since non was included with it. This one did the job just fine.Reading and writing speed reminded me a bit of the same speed you get with reading from a average USB 3.0 dongle. Not too bad but not super fantastic either (see photo).A nice touch though some may find useful, is that they included 2 year free subscription to a Rescue Pro software, in case the card fail while having some important data on it. So I see this as some kind of 2 year insurance on the card from the manufacturer.Over all, I am happy with this card.

I am super disappointed in the SD card that I purchased. I am a professional photographer and use SD cards all the time for sessions. I purchased this one as I needed to have a full card for upcoming sessions, and now I’m going to have to refund people. The product arrived packaged as normal no issues no concerns. I opened up the card put it in and started taking a few photos. I should have formatted the card to my camera, but I must have forgotten. I did two sessions back to back at sunset I came home put the card in my card reader uploaded the photos, and noticed there was files on there dating January 20 which I obviously didn’t have the card since I just purchased it in July. I tried to open the files I was not able to it said that my software would not view the images. I went to bed. The next day woke up and started working on the files only to note that The majority of my photos are not there. The first 20 minutes of the first session is completely missing, the only images I have from that session or from the second location. I I missing several images in between photos that I took the number skip from 8449 to 85542 to 8659 etc.so now I have two refund clients. One client had to reschedule three times due to rain and they drove over an hour to get to me only to find out that some of their images are missing. I am highly disappointed!
