Pro SD card built for 6K video and bursts
SanDisk has expanded its pro-focused SD line with the Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 Card, a model aimed squarely at hybrid shooters who need dependable recording speed for video and strong write performance for bursts and time-lapse work. On the official product page, SanDisk positions the card around 6K capture, continuous shooting and fast post-shoot transfers, with capacities stretching from 64GB up to 2TB depending on region and SKU listing.
The headline figure is a read speed of up to 300MB/s, while SanDisk also quotes shot speeds of up to 250MB/s on 256GB to 2TB capacities. That should make the card attractive to photographers using high-resolution mirrorless or DSLR bodies where buffer clearance can affect real-world shooting rhythm. For video users, the more important figure is the V60 rating, which guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 60MB/s and is intended to support resolutions up to 6K as well as 4K UHD and Full HD capture.
SanDisk is also leaning hard into endurance. The company says the card is IP68 water and dust resistant and can withstand drops up to 6 metres. It further describes the range as waterproof, temperature proof, humidity proof, shock proof, X-ray proof and magnet proof, which helps reinforce its positioning as a card for demanding outdoor, travel and production use rather than casual everyday storage. A two-year RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software offer is also included, adding a useful safeguard for photographers who occasionally need a second chance after accidental deletion.
What makes this launch notable is how clearly it targets the growing overlap between stills and video. Many current cameras ask one card to handle high-bitrate recording, burst-heavy stills and fast offloads back at the workstation. SanDisk’s answer is a UHS-II SD card that stays within the familiar SDXC format but pushes performance into territory that suits serious creator workflows. Compatibility on the official listing is given for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, which keeps the pitch broad while still focusing on enthusiast and professional imaging users.
For photographers and filmmakers who prefer the convenience and broad compatibility of SD media over newer card formats, the Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 looks like a practical middle ground: fast enough for advanced hybrid work, rugged enough for field use, and available in capacities large enough to reduce card swaps on long shooting days.
