The Extreme Plus 80MB/s card sits midway between the Extreme 60MB/s and the Extreme Pro 95MB/s cards. The Plus was first marketed in early 2014 and for a brief time it was called the Extreme 80MB/s to differentiate it from the then 45MB/s Extreme card. The Extreme Plus is offered in 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB capacities. The 64GB SDXC card is reviewed here.
The Extreme Plus features a gold label adorned with various icons that describe its attributes: 80MB/s, Class 10, UHS-I, SDXC, U3. The 80MB/s on the label refers to its claimed read speed of 80MB/s. The write speed is quoted at 60MB/s. It meets UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) to guarantee at least 30MB/s continuous write speed for reacording 4K HD video streams. SD Class 10 is an older specification for cards reaching at least 10MB/s write speed for recording video. Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) is the standard for cards greater than 32GB capacity that are formatted with the exFAT file system.
The Extreme Plus 64GB SDXC card was tested in several card readers to measure maximum read and write speeds. In card readers it outperformed its rated read speed with a maximum 97.9 MB/s continuous read in the Kingston MobileLite G4 card reader and exceeded 92MB/s in all readers. Its sequential write speed equaled its rating of 60 MB/s in all card readers tested.
