Prime Day Is the Prime Time to Add a SanDisk Memory Card to Your Camera or Laptop for Peanuts

It’s not here quite yet but the day may come when SanDisk enters that rarified category of brands that are synonymous with their entire product category, like Kleenex or Band-Aids or Popsicles. When you think of a SD card to add to your camera, laptop, or other device, you think of SanDisk, and Prime Day is a great time to think of adding a SanDisk or two to your tech collection now that the 256GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II model is just $53.

SanDisk did not come by its stellar reputation lightly. Their memory cards are renowned for their reliability, their speedy read/write abilities, and the fact they’re as close to indestructible as any memory card we’ve ever seen. Drops, shocks, magnets, water — the SanDisk Extreme PRO is able to endure them all, which is what you want and need from a memory card.

Cinema-Quality Video Speed

A high-end camera that can shoot 6K video is great to have, but only if you have a form of writeable media that can keep up with that kind of intensely high resolution and speed. The SanDisk Extreme PRO has a Video Speed Class 60 rating, which means it’s able to keep up with that kind of ultra-HD-quality video. It’s also fast enough to capture slow- and super-slow motion shoots, making it an invaluable part of your action shots.

With 256GB of space, the SanDisk Extreme PRO can hold 169 minutes of that 6K video, or over 6,000 24-megapixel still images. When you’re ready to move them from the card to your laptop or other device for editing and review, the 280MB/s data transfer speed will keep your creative process humming along. A full hour of 6K video can be moved from the SanDisk Extreme PRO to your laptop in just over 6 minutes.

Action photography and video shoots usually mean outdoor locations, many of which can be truly unforgiving. That’s hazardous to many memory cards and external storage devices, but the SanDisk Extreme PRO comes with toughness far beyond what you’d expect from a roughly postage-stamp-sized unit. It’s built to withstand extreme high and low temperatures, along with drops, magnets, shock, x-rays, and humidity.

Prime Day is the perfect time to take stock of your tech supplies, and if you find yourself with outdated or off-brand memory cards, now’s the time to replace with with the SanDisk Extreme PRO for 256GB of fast, long-lasting, reliable storage. It normally sells for $80, but this Amazon Prime Day deal drops that to just $53.
