Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feels very hard and strong!

06/07/2021: Still used as the primary recording medium for capturing 4K photos and videos. One thing I noticed and I thought the card is bad because one day the transfer rate was low. I reformatted and of course the transfer rate went back to normal afterwards. Maybe I should have and didn't know? Anyway everything is going well πŸ‘27.08.2020: It's been six months and I've dropped this card on the floor so many times and it sounds like it's some kind of pottery. It feels tough and for 256GB it's a steal. I plan to buy more as I am constantly doing photography and videography for our marketing department. You can probably run this through a heavy wash cycle in a hot water washing machine and it won't work. On the EOS R, you need this "IF” when recording in 4K/30 in ALL-i mode. If you only record in 4K/30 but in IPB mode, the file size is small enough to work with V30 cards. I rarely need to shoot at the highest resolution, but at the same time the speed of writing to a computer is HUGE. Just make sure you have a proper card reader like a Lexar as the bottleneck will be if you don't have a fast card reader. can shoot at the V60 rating for 4K which I need for my EOS R (4K/30p ALL-i) camera, it's a steal. The instruction manual warns that the card is inserted a little tightly with the camera, which was correct. But there were no problems with extracting or anything. It has no lock/unlock. Does all plastic seem almost ceramic? Not sure if it's high density plastic, but when I drop it it looks like a piece of dense material has been dropped. It's definitely not plastic. Does it sound like metal in any way? I record professionally so it was nice to see I can record all day with no issues. While it's nowhere as cheap as V30s or slower cards, at least on the EOS R for 4K, which can go up to 500Mbps (which is roughly 62.5Mbps), it does need a V60 or faster . But video clarity is the difference between day and night when you're dealing with that much bitrate (why my Go Pro 7 Black can never match the EOS R's 4K video, for obvious reasons). If I need another card, I can also buy the Tough series. It seems indestructible and not easy to break. It's all sealed so even if I accidentally wash it I can see that it really has survived.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
