The SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO is the minimum-spec full-size SD card for 4K video recording on a mirrorless camera or DSLR. Rated UHS-I U3 V30, it sustains 90 MB/s writes, clearing the 4K video recording threshold of 60 MB/s required by most cameras. At $32.58, it costs nearly the same as the SanDisk 128GB Ultra SDXC at $33.88. The 128GB Ultra is rated U1 only, meaning a 10 MB/s minimum write speed that is insufficient for reliable 4K recording. If you shoot 4K video and specifically need 64GB, the Extreme PRO is the right tier. For 1080p or standard photography, the 128GB Ultra gives better per-GB value at one dollar more and twice the capacity.
