SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC Memory Card — Fast 4K SD Card for Professionals (256GB)

When a wedding, safari, or commercial shoot can’t be reshot, you need storage you can trust. The SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SDXC gives you the speed and capacity to record long 4K clips and burst RAW sequences without dropped frames — perfect for photographers and videographers in Nairobi and across Kenya.

Why this card matters for photographers & videographers in Kenya

Key performance: The card delivers up to 200MB/s transfer speeds and writes up to 140MB/s, letting you capture high-bitrate 4K video and long continuous RAW bursts without buffering.

Pro-grade format: UHS-I / V30 / U3 / Class 10 rating ensures consistent video capture for 4K UHD workflows — ideal for drones, mirrorless cameras, and cinema-lite setups.

Rugged & reliable: Built for fieldwork, these cards are tested against temperature, water, shock and X-ray exposure so you can shoot on safari or at the coast with fewer worries.

Benefits for photographers & videographers in Kenya

• Spend less time waiting: Faster transfers speed up your postproduction workflow so you can offload/backup footage quicker between shoots. Up to 200MB/s transfers reduce downtime after long days.

• Shoot longer, risk less: 256GB capacity is perfect for long-form events (weddings, conferences) or multi-day safaris where you can’t constantly swap cards.

• Reliable in tough conditions: Proven ruggedness means better peace-of-mind when working in hot weather, dusty environments, or air travel.

• Professional-grade capture: The V30/U3 rating ensures stable bitrate support for 4K — important for wedding videographers, drone pilots, and commercial shooters.

Use cases & ideal scenarios

• Wildlife & safari photography — long bursts and high-res video for that once-in-a-lifetime shot.

• Wedding & event videography — long 4K takes with no dropped frames.

• Commercial shoots & interviews — fast offloads keep your pipeline moving.

• Drone 4K filming — capacity and speed to record high-bitrate footage safely.

• Hybrid shooters who need one card to handle both photo burst and video capture.

How it compares (quick comparison)

• SanDisk Extreme PRO vs SanDisk Extreme (non-PRO): The PRO offers higher sustained write rates and faster transfer speeds making it better for professional 4K and long RAW bursts.

• UHS-I PRO vs UHS-II / V90 cards: UHS-II and V90 cards can be faster for extreme 8K or multi-camera cinema workflows but cost significantly more. For most photographers and 4K videographers in Kenya, the 256GB Extreme PRO UHS-I hits the best balance of cost, capacity, and durability. You’ll find it recommended in professional roundups and buying guides.

Local availability & buying note (Kenya)

This model is widely stocked by Kenyan retailers and marketplaces (e.g., Camera Stuff Kenya the local camera stores), making it easy to buy locally and avoid import delays. Prices vary by retailer and whether it’s SDXC or microSD with adapter — always confirm the model and buy from an authorized seller to avoid counterfeit cards.

Technical checklist (before you buy)

• Confirm your camera supports SDXC (most modern DSLRs and mirrorless do).

• If you need the absolute fastest write speeds for cinema 8K workflows, consider UHS-II/V90; otherwise this card is ideal for 4K and professional photography.
