Product Information

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.

Photos cannot be written to the memory card as fast as they can to the buffer, and once the buffer is full, you cannot take any more photos, until space has been freed up on the buffer. Most modern cameras use SD Card for storage. You rarely see cameras with internal storage. No matter how great your camera is, if you use a terrible SD Card it will not perform well. Which one to buy: SanDisk Extreme Pro vs Extreme Plus? SanDisk Extreme Plus is more focused on people who want something that doesn’t cost much and offers decent performance in video recording as well as capturing photos. If you use your camera for taking pictures, the data collected is stored on the camera’s buffer. Buffer is the temporary storage of the camera like RAM (Random Access Memory) on Computers. The camera then sends this data to the storage which is the SD Card. This is where SD Card’s write speeds are important. Faster write speeds mean the camera can capture another shot faster. SanDisk Extreme Pro has a max write speed of 90 MB per second, on the other hand, the SanDisk Extreme Plus has a max write speed of 60 MB per second. If you mostly use your camera to capture photos from outdoor activities or action photography, you should consider getting an SD Card with higher maximum write speeds.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. 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. Currently, it is available at about the same price as the Extreme Pro, so it makes no sense to buy the Extreme Plus over the Pro. It is also significantly more expensive than the otherwise very similar Extreme. But, memory card prices can fluctuate widely according to supply and demand, meaning that prices can also vary by large margins from week to week. Consider this: if you have been taking pictures with your camera for a while and it comes to a point where you would need to transfer the files to your computer, the SanDisk Extreme Pro’s faster read speeds would cut the waiting time while transferring large photo and video files to your computer. On the other hand, SanDisk Extreme Pro was catered for high performance devices . The Extreme Pro in some ways is really better compared to Extreme Plus. But, it is a bit expensive compared to Extreme Plus.

Sandisk Extreme Pro vs Extreme Plus (SD Card Comparison) Sandisk Extreme Pro vs Extreme Plus (SD Card Comparison)

The Extreme Pro is currently the best Sandisk SD card or microSD card that you can buy, with souped up read and write speeds when compared with the Extreme, or any of the other models. If you are a professional who needs immediate transfer of photos and videos for post-processing, you will need an SD Card with fast read speeds. In this article, we will compare two popular SD Cards from SanDisk that are used by most photographers and camera owners. When combined with the card being available in capacities up to 1TB, and a lifetime warranty, this becomes excellent value for money if you care about your photography.

What microSD cards are compatible with the Steam Deck?

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. 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. Compatibility: Compatible with all microSDHC, microSDXC, microSDHC UHS-I, and microSDXC UHS-I supporting host devices

SanDisk Extreme PLUS 128 GB microSDXC Memory Card + SD

There are clear differences between the three cards we have tested today, although for most non-professional uses, you are unlikely to see any difference between the Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro. Choosing either of these would be the sensible choice. If you have a choice between a lower capacity Sandisk Extreme Pro, or a higher capacity Sandisk Extreme at the same price point, I would always recommend buying the higher capacity card. 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.

What do the interfaces and speed classes mean?

The SanDisk Ultra offers a wider range of capacities than the Pro Plus, with lower prices across the board. This is partly owing to its lower U1 speed class, meaning its write speeds aren’t as fast as U3 models, but that’s more of a concern for videographers needing a microSD card for their camera. Where games performance is concerned, read speed is king, and the affordable Ultra can keep pace with pricier cards. Read Speeds should also be considered especially if you shoot 4k videos with large file size. It indicates how fast your SD Card can transfer files to another computer or storage device. Your camera will be much slower with the Sandisk Ultra vs Sandisk Extreme Pro, and therefore in a choice between the Sandisk Extreme Pro or Ultra, you would be better off to choose the Extreme Pro. Both SanDisk Extreme Pro and Extreme Plus features a 30 MB per second minimum write speeds which doesn’t separate them apart at least on video recording. SD Read Speed

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. 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. It’s clear from the specifications and from my testing, that the Sandisk Ultra is significantly below par when compared to the other two models. Although it is the cheapest of the three, it will struggle to cope with recording 4k video and any length of burst shooting. Choosing this model would be a mistake. 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.For this comparison, we will use both the Extreme Pro and Plus (128 GB) variants as this is what most users prefer to buy. In this specs sheet, we will compare their max read/write speeds, minimum write speed, durability, speed class, bus type, and price. 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.
