SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD Card for 4K Video
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card is a high-performance microSDXC UHS-I memory card offering read speeds of up to 200MB/s and write speeds of up to 90MB/s. Its A2, U3 and V30 ratings make it suitable for compatible action cameras, drones, Android devices and cameras recording 4K UHD or Full HD video.
The 128GB capacity gives photographers and video creators more recording space than a standard 64GB card without moving to an unnecessarily large capacity. It is a practical option for longer shoots, travel videos, drone footage, high-resolution photographs, mobile applications and large media collections.
Why Choose the SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD Card?
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card balances speed and capacity for demanding everyday use. It provides enough space for extended recording sessions while delivering the performance needed to capture and transfer large files efficiently.
Compared with an ordinary memory card, the Extreme PRO range is better suited to equipment that requires U3 or V30 media. This can help prevent recording interruptions when shooting compatible high-resolution video.
Up to 200MB/s Read and 90MB/s Write Speed
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card delivers sequential read performance of up to 200MB/s and sequential write performance of up to 90MB/s. Fast reads help shorten media-offload times, while the write speed supports high-resolution photography and compatible 4K recording.
SanDisk QuickFlow technology helps the card achieve faster transfers when paired with compatible equipment. Maximum performance requires a suitable reader, such as the separately sold SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD reader. Actual speed depends on the host device, interface, files and operating conditions.
U3 and V30 Performance for 4K Recording
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card carries UHS Speed Class 3 and Video Speed Class 30 ratings. V30 indicates a minimum sustained video-capture rate of 30MB/s when used with compatible equipment.
These ratings make the card suitable for recording 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 and Full HD 1920 × 1080 video. It is a useful choice for filming outdoor adventures, sporting events, travel content and aerial footage without relying on a basic everyday storage card.
Video compatibility still depends on the camera, selected recording mode, bitrate and file format. Always check the camera manufacturer’s recommended speed class before starting an important recording.
A2-Rated Android App Performance
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card is A2 rated, with SanDisk specifying up to 4,000 random read IOPS and 2,000 random write IOPS under its test conditions. This can improve application loading and general app performance on compatible Android devices.
Full A2 performance requires support from the device hardware, firmware and operating system. The card can still work in devices without full A2 support, but application performance may be reduced.
More Space for Cameras, Drones and Mobile Devices
With 128GB of storage, the card provides additional room for 4K clips, Full HD recordings, RAW or JPEG photographs, mobile applications, games, music and documents. The larger capacity also means fewer card changes during a recording session.
This makes it particularly useful for travellers, photographers and drone operators who may not have immediate access to a laptop or cloud connection for transferring their files.
Durable Storage for Outdoor Use
SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC cards are designed to be waterproof, shockproof, temperature-proof and X-ray-proof. This protection is valuable when the card is used in outdoor cameras, drones or equipment carried through airport security.
The card has an operating-temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and a storage-temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Important files should still be backed up regularly because no memory card should be treated as the only copy of valuable data.
SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD Card Compatibility
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card works with devices supporting microSDXC or microSDXC UHS-I media. Compatible products can include action cameras, drones, Android phones, tablets, digital cameras, handheld gaming systems and laptops with suitable card readers.
A full-size SD adapter is included for cameras, computers and card readers that accept SDXC cards. Before ordering, confirm that your device supports a capacity of 128GB and the microSDXC format.
SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB vs 64GB
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB microSD card and the 64GB version both provide up to 200MB/s read and 90MB/s write performance. The main benefit of the 128GB card is double the storage, making it better suited to longer recording sessions and larger media libraries.

What are the read and write speeds?
This exact 128GB model provides read speeds of up to 200MB/s and write speeds of up to 90MB/s. Actual performance depends on the device, reader, interface and operating conditions.
Does the 128GB version have a 140MB/s write speed?

Does it support 4K video recording?
Yes. Its U3 and V30 ratings make it suitable for 4K UHD recording on compatible devices. The device and selected recording mode must also support the card.
What does V30 mean?
V30 indicates that the card is designed to maintain at least 30MB/s during compatible real-time video recording.
What does the A2 rating mean?
A2 is an application-performance rating designed to provide faster random read and write operations for apps stored on compatible Android devices.
Can I use it in a drone or action camera?
Yes, provided the drone or action camera supports 128GB microSDXC UHS-I cards. Check the device manual for its maximum capacity and required speed class.
Is a full-size SD adapter included?
Yes. The included adapter allows the microSDXC card to work with compatible cameras, laptops and readers that accept standard SDXC cards.
Is the card suitable for continuous CCTV or dashcam recording?
Extreme PRO is designed for high-performance photography and video capture. For continuous CCTV or dashcam recording, an endurance-rated card designed for repeated writing is normally more appropriate.
Why does my device show less than 128GB?
One gigabyte is calculated as 1,000,000,000 bytes by the manufacturer. Formatting, system files and the operating system’s calculation method reduce the usable capacity displayed by the device.
What warranty does the card have?
It carries a lifetime limited manufacturer warranty. SanDisk provides a 30-year warranty in regions that do not recognise lifetime warranties. Terms and proof-of-purchase requirements apply.
