SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD Card for High-Capacity Camera Storage
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card is a full-size SDXC UHS-I memory card designed for compatible compact cameras, point-and-shoot cameras, camcorders, laptops and other SD-enabled devices. It provides read speeds of up to 150MB/s with Class 10 U1 performance for photography and Full HD video.
Its large 512GB capacity is useful for photographers and families who want to store extensive photo collections and hours of Full HD footage without changing cards frequently. It is particularly convenient for holidays, extended events and trips where transferring files to a computer may not always be practical.
Why Choose the SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD Card?
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card offers the highest capacity in this SanDisk Ultra SD range. It gives you four times the storage of the 128GB version and eight times the storage of the 64GB model.
This extra capacity can reduce interruptions during long photography sessions. It also provides room for high-resolution photographs, videos and other camera files while keeping everything on one convenient full-size SD card.
Transfer Files at Up to 150MB/s
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card provides sequential read speeds of up to 150MB/s. Fast read performance helps reduce the time spent moving large photo libraries and Full HD recordings to a compatible computer or storage drive.
The maximum speed requires compatible equipment capable of reaching SanDisk’s enhanced UHS-I performance. Actual results depend on the camera, reader, interface, files and operating conditions.
SanDisk does not publish a maximum write speed for this exact card. The 150MB/s figure refers to read performance and should not be advertised as its write speed.
Class 10 and U1 Performance
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card carries Class 10 and UHS Speed Class 1 ratings. U1 indicates a minimum sustained writing performance of 10MB/s when used with compatible equipment.
This performance level is suitable for everyday photography and Full HD video. It is not intended to replace a U3 or V30 card when a professional camera requires faster sustained writing for demanding 4K recording.
Space for More Photographs and Full HD Video
The 512GB capacity provides room for a substantial collection of photographs and Full HD recordings. The exact number of files depends on the camera resolution, image format, compression, recording bitrate and clip length.
Photographers using high-resolution JPEG files can store more images before transferring them. Users recording longer Full HD sessions can also reduce the need to stop and replace the card.
Designed for Compatible Cameras and Camcorders
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card is designed for compatible compact and mid-range point-and-shoot cameras and camcorders. It may also work with DSLR and mirrorless cameras that support 512GB SDXC UHS-I cards and accept Class 10 U1 media.
Not every camera supports a 512GB card. Check the device manual or manufacturer’s website for its maximum supported capacity before ordering.
Full-Size SDXC Format
This product is a standard full-size SDXC card. It fits directly into compatible camera, camcorder, laptop and card-reader slots without requiring a microSD adapter.
It cannot be used in a phone, tablet or other device that only accepts the smaller microSD format. A full-size SD card cannot be converted into a microSD card.
Durable Storage for Travel
SanDisk Ultra SD cards are durability-tested to withstand common everyday risks. The card is waterproof, shockproof, X-ray-proof and temperature-proof.
This added protection is valuable when travelling or working outdoors. Important photographs and videos should still be copied to another storage device because no memory card should contain the only copy of valuable files.
Built-In Write-Protection Switch
The card includes a physical write-protection switch. Moving the switch to the locked position helps prevent compatible devices from deleting or modifying stored files.
The switch does not encrypt or password-protect the card. It only controls writing on devices that recognise its position.
SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD Card Compatibility
The SanDisk Ultra 512GB SD card works with compatible SDXC, SDXC-I and UHS-I-enabled devices. These can include digital cameras, camcorders, laptops and desktop card readers.
Before use, format the card through the camera or device according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Formatting deletes existing data, so transfer any required files first.

Will every camera support 512GB?
No. The camera must support SDXC cards with a capacity of 512GB. Check the equipment manual or manufacturer’s specifications before ordering.
Can it be used in a DSLR or mirrorless camera?

No adapter is required for a compatible full-size SD slot. The card cannot be converted for use in a microSD-only slot.
Is it suitable for continuous CCTV or dashcam recording?
SanDisk Ultra is an everyday camera card. For continuous CCTV or dashcam recording, an endurance-rated memory card designed for repeated writing is normally more appropriate.
Why does my device display less than 512GB?
Manufacturers calculate one gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Formatting and the operating system’s calculation method reduce the usable capacity displayed by the device.
