SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD Card for Cameras
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card is a full-size SDXC UHS-I memory card designed for compatible compact cameras, point-and-shoot cameras, laptops and other SD-enabled devices. It provides read speeds of up to 140MB/s and Class 10 U1 performance for everyday photography and Full HD video recording.
Its 64GB capacity gives you more room for photographs and videos than a standard 32GB card, making it a practical choice for holidays, family events, school projects and everyday camera use. Because it is a full-size SD card, no microSD adapter is required when using it in a standard SDXC slot.
Why Choose the SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD Card?
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card combines dependable storage with faster file-transfer performance. It is designed for users who want a straightforward camera memory card for photographs and Full HD recordings without moving to a professional U3 or V30 card.
The card’s 64GB capacity also reduces the need to transfer or delete photographs as frequently as a smaller card. This is useful when travelling or attending events where immediate access to a laptop may not be available.
Transfer Files at Up to 140MB/s
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card delivers sequential read speeds of up to 140MB/s. This helps reduce the time needed to transfer photographs and Full HD videos from the card to a compatible computer or reader.
The maximum speed uses SanDisk’s proprietary technology to exceed the standard UHS-I interface speed and requires compatible equipment. Actual performance may be lower depending on the camera, reader, interface, file type and operating conditions.
SanDisk states that write performance is lower than the maximum read speed but does not publish an exact maximum write-speed figure for this model. Therefore, 140MB/s should only be described as its read speed.
Class 10 and U1 Recording Performance
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB 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 designed as a professional V30 card for demanding high-bitrate 4K recording.
Full HD Video Support
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card supports Full HD 1920 × 1080 recording on compatible cameras. It can be used for family videos, travel clips, school activities, presentations and other everyday recording requirements.
Video performance depends on the camera, recording bitrate, selected mode and file format. Always check the camera manufacturer’s recommended speed class before an important recording session.
Designed for Compact and Point-and-Shoot Cameras
The card is intended for compatible compact and mid-range point-and-shoot digital cameras. Its standard full-size SD shape fits directly into compatible camera slots, unlike a microSD card that normally requires an adapter.
It can also be used in laptops and card readers supporting full-size SDXC UHS-I cards. Confirm that your device supports SDXC capacities before ordering because some older devices only recognise SDHC cards up to 32GB.
Durable Storage for Everyday Use
SanDisk Ultra SD cards are tested to withstand common environmental risks. The card is waterproof, shockproof, X-ray-proof and temperature-proof, providing additional protection when it is carried during travel or outdoor photography.
Important photographs and videos should still be copied to another storage device or cloud service. Physical protection does not replace a proper backup.
Built-In Write-Protection Switch
The full-size SDXC design includes a physical write-protection switch. Moving this switch to the locked position can help prevent compatible devices from accidentally deleting or modifying files stored on the card.
The switch does not encrypt the files and should not be treated as a security feature. It is intended only to control writing on devices that recognise its position.
SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD Card Compatibility
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card works with compatible SDXC, SDXC-I and UHS-I-enabled devices. This can include compact cameras, point-and-shoot cameras, laptops, desktop card readers and selected audio or video equipment.
This is not a microSD card. It should not be ordered for a phone, tablet or device that only accepts the smaller microSD format.
SanDisk Ultra SD Card Capacity Comparison
The SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD card provides twice the capacity of the 32GB model and a faster maximum read speed. Larger 256GB and 512GB versions offer more storage and slightly faster transfers.
