For creators who refuse to compromise, the SanDisk Extreme PRO 512GB microSDXC is the pinnacle of UHS-I microSD performance. Powered by SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, it delivers read speeds of up to 200MB/s and write speeds of up to 140MB/s — all in a card that holds half a terabyte of your best work. Shoot all day. Record without interruption. Transfer without waiting. The 512GB Extreme PRO doesn’t just keep up with professionals — it’s built for them.
Why the SanDisk Extreme PRO 512GB microSDXC Is the Professional’s Choice
⚡ 200MB/s Reads + 140MB/s Writes — Elite Speed at Every Stage
From the moment you press the shutter to the final export, the Extreme PRO 512GB performs at the highest level. SanDisk QuickFlow Technology pushes read speeds to 200MB/s — far beyond the standard UHS-I ceiling — while 140MB/s write speeds ensure fast in-camera storage, minimal buffer lag, and sustained 4K recording without slowdown. Whether you’re offloading a 500GB shoot or clearing a burst buffer mid-session, this card handles it without breaking a sweat.
Pair with the SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD (sold separately) to unlock peak 200MB/s transfer speeds.
🎬 Unlimited 4K UHD — Shoot Until the Battery Dies
Rated V30 (Video Speed Class 30) and UHS Speed Class 3 (U3), the Extreme PRO 512GB sustains a minimum write speed of 30MB/s — the highest available rating for a UHS-I card — with a ceiling of 140MB/s. The result is smooth, uninterrupted 4K UHD recording, frame after frame, hour after hour. With 512GB of onboard storage, you can capture over 4,500 minutes of 4K footage on a single card — enough for a full multi-day shoot without ever swapping storage.
📸 RAW Burst Shooting — No Buffer. No Waiting.
High-speed burst photography demands a card that can keep pace. The Extreme PRO 512GB’s 140MB/s write speed clears the camera buffer rapidly, reducing downtime between bursts and keeping you ready for the next decisive moment. Whether you’re tracking wildlife, shooting sports, or covering live events — this card won’t be the bottleneck.
🗂️ 512GB — One Card for Everything
Half a terabyte means you carry one card instead of four. Store an entire multi-day expedition, a full wedding, a week-long documentary shoot, or months of drone footage — all on a single, reliable card. For professionals working in remote locations or fast-moving environments, fewer card swaps means fewer risks and more focus on the work.
📱 A2-Rated for Peak App Performance
Certified A2 with 4,000 read IOPS and 2,000 write IOPS, the Extreme PRO 512GB delivers the fastest app loading and multitasking performance available on a microSD card. Ideal for high-demand Android devices, mobile workstations, and tablets running professional apps.
