Description
The SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 512GB UHS-II V90 memory card is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional cinema production and high-resolution photography. Featuring a Video Speed Class 90 (V90) rating, this card guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 90MB/s, preventing dropped frames during continuous 8K, 4K, and 3D video capture. With maximum sequential read speeds reaching 310MB/s and write speeds up to 305MB/s, it significantly accelerates post-production data transfers and optimizes camera buffer clearance during rapid-fire RAW burst shooting.
- Professional videographers requiring uninterrupted 8K and 4K UHD video recording at high bitrates.
- Action and sports photographers who rely on continuous RAW burst mode and need rapid buffer clearing.
- Wildlife and outdoor documentary filmmakers working in extreme environmental conditions.
- Studio photographers managing large volumes of high-resolution digital assets.
- Production assistants and editors seeking to minimize file offloading times during data ingestion.

In real-world production environments, this memory card ensures seamless integration with high-end DSLR and mirrorless camera systems. The 305MB/s write speed allows cameras to clear their internal buffers almost instantly, maintaining high frame rates during critical action sequences. When transitioning from the field to the editing suite, the 310MB/s read speed allows hours of footage to be transferred in minutes, streamlining the ingestion workflow. Built-in IP68 protection safeguards critical data against accidental submersion and dust ingress, while the included RescuePRO Deluxe software provides a reliable recovery path for accidentally deleted files.
While standard UHS-I cards max out at transfer speeds of approximately 104MB/s, this UHS-II V90 card utilizes a second row of physical pins to achieve bus speeds up to three times faster. Compared to V60-rated cards, which only guarantee a sustained write speed of 60MB/s, the V90 rating ensures a minimum of 90MB/s. This difference is critical for high-bitrate 8K video codecs, where V60 cards may trigger write-speed errors or recording interruptions. Additionally, its IP68 rating and 6-meter drop resistance offer superior physical durability compared to standard consumer-grade SD cards.
- What is the minimum sustained write speed of this card? The card is rated V90, which guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 90MB/s, making it fully compatible with high-bitrate 8K video recording.
- Can this UHS-II card be used in a standard UHS-I camera slot? Yes, the card is backward compatible with UHS-I devices, but it will operate at the maximum speed limits of the host camera's UHS-I interface.
- How durable is the card against water and physical impacts? The card features an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and has been tested to survive drops from heights up to 6 meters (19.6 feet).
- What software is included for data recovery? It comes with a complimentary 2-year license for RescuePRO Deluxe, which assists in recovering accidentally deleted photos, videos, and documents.
- Does this card support 8K video at 30fps? Yes, the 512GB capacity can store hours of 8K video at 30fps, depending on the camera's specific compression settings and bitrate.
