SanDisk Extreme 256GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30

The SanDisk Extreme 256GB microSDXC card targets creators who need reliable 4K UHD and Full HD video capture. It carries U3, V30, A2 and Class 10 ratings for sustained write performance. The 256GB capacity suits extended shooting sessions. Buyers who need capacities beyond 1TB should look elsewhere.

Installation and common pitfalls

Insert the card into a compatible microSDXC slot or use the included full-size SD adapter for standard readers. To reach the advertised 190MB/s read speed, pair it with the SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD over a USB 3.0 port. Low-quality readers or older USB ports often throttle throughput well below rated speeds. QuickFlow Technology helps streamline file transfers when used with supported software.

Deciding specification — UHS-I U3 V30 A2 speed class

The UHS-I U3 V30 A2 rating guarantees a minimum 30MB/s sequential write and the A2 app performance tier for faster app loading on supported devices. This combination determines whether the card can sustain 4K UHD recording without dropped frames. If your workflow demands sustained write speeds above 130MB/s or a different bus interface, this card will not meet the requirement.
