SanDisk 256GB UHS-I SDXC Overview

Designed for SD devices that can capture Full HD, 3D, and 4K video, as well as raw and burst photography, the 256GB Extreme UHS-I SDXC Memory Card from SanDisk has a capacity of 256GB, is compatible with the UHS-I bus, and features a speed class rating of V30, which guarantees minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device does not support the V30 standard, this card also supports the U3 standard, which likewise guarantees minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. Read speeds are supported up to 180 MB/s and write speeds max out at 130 MB/s. A built-in write-protect switch helps to safeguard against the accidental erasure of card data.

While this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-I / V30 / U3 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-I / V30 / U3. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating, such as UHS-I and U1, which supports minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s, or Class 10, which also supports minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s.

As with most SanDisk cards, this memory card is shockproof, X-ray proof, waterproof, while also being able to withstand temperatures from -13 to 185°F, allowing you to take this card with you into extreme environments, such as snow, deserts, and pools. Should the card's data become compromised, you also benefit from the option to download RescuePRO Deluxe software as well as a limited lifetime warranty.

SanDisk 256GB UHS-I SDXC Reviews

reliable and affordable

Have a number of those for quite a few years now and they continue to work well and be affordable. I use V30s for all my cameras that don't need faster cards

Works perfectly with my Canon EOS-M

Runs various Magic Lantern builds on my Canon EOS-M with continuous recording for the various Crop Moods. Shooting high-resolution .MLV files in 14-bit RAW is a breeze with this card. I highly recommend it for this specific shooting scenario.

Will this 256 GB card (180 MB/s) be fast enough to record 4K video with Panasonic GH5?
Asked by: Ragnar
SanDisk 256GB Extreme UHS-I SDXC Memory Card is only 30 MB/s minimum speed. That will be too slow if you are recording at the highest quality, but at a lower quality setting it will work.

Is this SD card compatible with the Nikon D90 ?The compatibility chart says it is not.
Asked by: Harvey
Yes, the SanDisk 32GB Extreme UHS-I SDHC Memory Card should work with the Nikon D90. This camera is limited to SDHC compatibility, which has a maximum size of 32GB, so this would be the largest size SD card that's compatible with the camera.

Will these work well in a Canon R6 body?

Will these work well in a Canon R6 body?
Asked by: Mark D
SanDisk 32GB Extreme UHS-I SDHC Memory Card will work on the Canon R6 but it is not the fastest card. If you just want to take one photo at a time slowing it will work well. If you want to take photos quickly it is better to get a UHS-2 card.
