The new V30 speed rating guarantees the card can maintain at least 30MB/s continuous write speed and makes this card ideal for HD and 4K video recording. Extreme 90MB/s cards are available in 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256GB capacities. The 16GB does not have the V30 rating. The 32 and 64GB cards are rated 40MB/s maximum write speed, while the 128 and 256GB card are rated 60MB/s. The 128GB SDXC card tested in this review is model SDSDXVF-128G-ANCIN with UPC 619659147112.
