Product Information

Bear in mind that quoted Maximum Read Speeds are likely to be about double the real world performance you will see. As soon as photos are stored to the internal buffer, they begin to be transferred to your memory card for long term storage, and they are deleted from the buffer once they are on the SD card. If you look at the read speeds for the Sandisk SD Ultra vs Extreme, you find that they show a similar story, at 116 – 153 MB / sec for the Extreme and 90 – 100 MB / sec for the Ultra. The maximum sequential write speed for the Sandisk Extreme is 89.1MB/s. The Sandisk Extreme Pro has a max sequential write speed of 98.6MB/s. These speeds are from real world testing. If you go by manufacturers’ specifications, then you should expect to see about 90% of these speeds once the card is in your camera.

Although this is a very good card, with very fast read and write speeds, it is about 10% slower than the Extreme Pro in practice, and matches, or even falls slightly behind, the original Sandisk Extreme. But, looking at the Sandisk Ultra vs Extreme vs Extreme Pro, the Sandisk Extreme Pro write speed is between 133 – 176 MB / sec and the read speed is between 54 – 99 MB/ sec, meaning there is a significant difference between the Sandisk Extreme Pro and Ultra, and this even beats the non-Pro Extreme. You would really feel the difference when you are taking multiple burst photos. The SanDisk Extreme Pro will just be faster on taking in the data from the camera’s buffer. So, which is better between the Sandisk Ultra or Extreme? From real world testing, it is the Extreme. SanDisk has been around for quite some time now and on top of the competition when it comes to performance. But, this doesn’t mean that all SanDisk cards are good for cameras. The SanDisk Extreme Pro and Extreme Plus are one of the most used SD Cards from SanDisk.

The maximum SD Card write speed indicates how fast it can accept data from the camera on burst or for a short period. This is not the case when it comes to video recording.Memorycards are used to pump up the storagein many phones and tablets. They're also the default memory cards for action cameras like the GoPro line, and with readers or adapters, can be used in other digital cameras and as removable memory for PCs. Right now, 64GB is the largest mainstream size for these chips; while we're starting to see 128GB cards, they cost a real premium. Video recording requires consistent write speeds. This is where you should consider SD Card’s minimum write speeds. This is the rate where your SD Card can consistently accept information from the camera without any ups and downs. It’s not initially clear what’s the difference between Sandisk Ultra and Extreme SD cards, but the most basic explanation is that the Sandisk Extreme write speed, at 52 – 89 MB per second in real world testing, is around twice that of the Sandisk Ultra write speed of 27 – 51 MB per second. The SanDisk Extreme Plus microSD card looks virtually identical to other SanDisk microSD cards with its usual gold and red coloring; the only difference is the added “PLUS” text at the top right. Also displayed on the front is the SanDisk branding, class information, and capacity.

Now, For us to really identify which card has the edge over the other we need to compare some technical specifications and look into which offers value for your money. Now, you may say that I would not be needing fast saving times when taking pictures, why would I need the Pro model? In this case, the SanDisk Extreme Pro is 5 MB per second faster which is rated at 95 MB per second compared to the SanDisk Extreme Plus that is rated at 90 MB per second. This may not be a lot of difference on paper but believe me, you would thank that extra 5 MB per second in the long run. You may wonder, is the Sandisk Extreme Pro worth it, and the simple answer is yes. This card can easily handle 4K video recording, along with bursts of photos, taking the longest of any memory card tested to hit buffering.

It’s only a disappointing result in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider loading test that denies the Evo Select a higher position in this list, though to be fair, its launching speed for the same game is much more competitive with the pricier stuff. It’s still a good bet for those wanting a budget microSD specifically, with the 512GB model being particularly good value right now. Therefore, the write speeds of the memory card determine how many photos you can take in a burst before the buffer fills up and you must stop shooting.
