Product Information

Full details

The Samsung PRO Ultimate 256GB SDXC card is designed for professional photographers, videographers, and content creators who require reliable, high-speed storage for 4K UHD video and high-resolution continuous shooting. Its primary benefit is the combination of rapid 200 MB/s read speeds and rugged environmental protections that keep data safe in harsh conditions, though users should note that performance is optimized for UHS-I devices and may not match the theoretical limits of faster, more expensive UHS-II equipment.

FAQs

Is this card waterproof?

Yes, the Samsung PRO Ultimate is designed with water-resistant features to protect your data in various environmental conditions.

Can I use this in my drone?

As long as your drone has a standard SDXC slot and supports the V30 speed class, this card is suitable for high-resolution aerial video recording.

What does the V30 rating mean?

The V30 rating indicates that the card can maintain a minimum sequential write speed of 30 MB/s, which is the baseline requirement for reliable 4K video recording.

Does this card come with a warranty?

Samsung provides a limited warranty for the PRO Ultimate series; please check the specific terms provided in your regional packaging or the Samsung official website.

Can I use this card in a UHS-II slot?

Yes, it is backward compatible with UHS-II devices, but it will operate at the maximum UHS-I speed limits.

Troubleshooting

Camera displays a card error or cannot write to the media

Ensure the physical lock tab on the side of the card is set to the unlocked position and format the card using the camera's internal formatting tool.

Slow transfer speeds during file import

Ensure you are using a high-speed, UHS-I compatible SD card reader. Connecting to an older USB 2.0 port will significantly throttle the card's potential speed.

Device does not recognize the 256GB capacity

Verify that your host device is compatible with the SDXC standard, as older SDHC-only devices will not support cards larger than 32GB.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent read speeds up to 200 MB/s
  • Comprehensive environmental durability features
  • Reliable V30 performance for 4K video recording
  • High storage capacity suitable for long shooting sessions

Cons

  • Limited to UHS-I interface speeds
  • Write speed (130 MB/s) may be a bottleneck for burst shooting in some high-end mirrorless cameras
  • Not compatible with ultra-fast UHS-II card slots in terms of maximum speed potential

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, insert the SDXC card into the SD slot of your camera or card reader, ensuring the 'Lock' switch is in the upward (unlocked) position. The card is compatible with most modern SDXC-enabled devices, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and laptops. When not in use, store the card in a protective case away from extreme heat or high-moisture environments. To maintain long-term performance, it is recommended to format the card within your camera menu rather than via a computer whenever possible, as this ensures the file system is perfectly matched to your specific hardware.
