SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I U3 V30 64GB SDXC Card Review
Introduction
SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I U3 V30 64GB SDXC card is an update adding the new Video Speed Class V30 rating. The V30 rating indicates that the card is suitable for recording HD and 4K video streams that require at least 30MB/s continuous write speed. SanDisk claims the card will reach up to 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds. Additionally, the card carries UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Class 10 ratings. The Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I U3 V30 cards are offered in 32, 64, 128, 256 GB capacities. At the time of review the 512GB version is not yet V30 rated. This review is for the 64GB capacity SDXC version model SDSDXXG-064G-GN4IN with UPC 619659147662. The same card is also sold as model SDSDXXG-064G-ANCIN in some regions.
Performance
The 64GB Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I U3 V30 card was benchmarked in card readers. The highest sequential read speed was 99.6 MB/s while the sequential write speed reached up to 91.4 MB/s. This is faster than the advertised 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds and near the best performance available in any UHS-I card.
