SanDisk Extreme 256GB SDXC — 180 MB/s read, 130 MB/s write
130 MB/s write180 MB/s readV30 · U3 · Class 10Full-size SDXC
The SanDisk Extreme 256GB SDXC card, part number SDSDXVV-256G-GNCIN, is a full-size UHS-I SD card rated at 180 MB/s read and 130 MB/s write. It is the mainstream 4K card in SanDisk range: fast enough to keep a mirrorless or DSLR shooting continuous RAW without stalling, and priced below the PLUS and PRO versions that sit above it. If your camera takes the large SD card and you record 4K, this is the sensible default.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Full-size SD slot only. It does not fit a microSD slot, and no adapter converts a full-size card down to microSD. It is SDXC, so a camera or reader that supports only SDHC will not read it — SDXC support arrived around 2010. The card ships formatted exFAT, handled natively by Windows, macOS and modern cameras, though some older dashcams and video recorders expect FAT32. In the box: the card alone — no reader, no case, no cable. Tell us your camera model and we will check the pairing before you order.
Best For

✓ Continuous RAW burst shooting
✓ Cameras with a full-size SD slot
✓ Drone and action cameras taking full-size SD
✓ A single card for a full day of shooting
✓ Buyers who want 4K speed without paying the PRO premium
Key Features
The same 130 MB/s write as the PLUS card
This is the point most buyers miss. At 256 GB the Extreme, Extreme PLUS and Extreme PRO all differ mainly in read speed. The Extreme and the PLUS write at exactly the same 130 MB/s, and write speed is what your camera depends on while you are shooting. Paying more for the PLUS badge at this capacity buys 10 MB/s of offload speed, not a better shooting experience.
V30 guarantees a sustained floor
The V30 mark promises at least 30 MB/s of sustained write regardless of how full or fragmented the card is. That is the figure camera manufacturers quote for 4K recording. U3 and Class 10 restate the same guarantee under older standards, so this card meets every 4K requirement you are likely to be given.
256 GB of real capacity
Around five hours of 100 Mbps 4K footage, or roughly 4,000 large RAW frames. That is a full wedding, a match or a weekend away on one card, with no swap in the middle of something that will not happen twice.
RescuePRO Deluxe recovery included
SanDisk bundles a one-year RescuePRO Deluxe licence with the Extreme line, downloaded rather than supplied on disc. If you format the wrong card or a file goes missing, it gives you a first recovery attempt without buying software in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
At 256 GB the choice inside the Extreme family is narrower than the naming suggests. This card and the Extreme PLUS both write 130 MB/s; only the read figure separates them, 180 against 190, and you only see that on a reader built for SanDisk faster mode. The Extreme PRO SDSDXXD is the honest upgrade at 200 read and 140 write. Our advice for most cameras is to take this card and put the difference towards a second one, because two cards halve the damage when one fails mid-shoot. Browse the rest of our SD cards, or add a card reader if you want full offload speed at your desk.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You shoot 4K or RAW bursts on a camera with a full-size SD slot and want the V30 guarantee and 130 MB/s write without paying the PRO premium. 256 GB holds roughly five hours of 100 Mbps 4K.
Skip it if
Your camera or drone takes microSD, or supports only SDHC and cannot address 256 GB. Skip it too if you shoot 8K or high-bitrate ProRes, where a V60, V90 or CFexpress card is what the camera actually asks for.
Also consider
The Extreme PRO 256 GB, SDSDXXD, at 200 MB/s read and 140 MB/s write is the genuine step up. For casual JPEG and Full HD use the Ultra SDXC costs less and is enough.
