Question about SDHC cards

TheMissingLink5 · Apr 28, 2017

So I'm looking at the SanDisk Extreme Pro and Extreme Plus cards, and can't see much of a difference between the two other then price and a bit slower speeds from the Plus (yet it's more expensive). Can anyone tell me what the main differences are between the two, and which one you would chose?

Your not giving us much to go on. How about some links?

The two cards are the SanDisk Extreme Pro ( Amazon.com: Sandisk MicroSDHC V30 32GB Extreme Pro, SDSQXXG-032G-GN6MA: Electronics ) or the SanDisk Extreme Plus ( Amazon.com: SanDisk Extreme PLUS 32GB microSDXC UHS-I/U3 Card with Adapter (SDSQXSG-032G-GN6MA) [Newest Version]: Computers & Accessories )

Extreme plus is what I use and was recommended if recording in 4k

I did a thread comparing both cards. The extreme pro has better and more consistent read and write speeds. The plus is a bit slower writing but almost the same reading. After testing them specialy on 4k both performed well when recording video, the difference lies specially when taking pictures ( you can take and record pictures) a bit faster with the Pro.

Both are great and its up to you.

Check out PCMag's chart here. It supports your findings that the Pro is actually faster than the Plus in almost every area.

Thanks everyone, I was going to go with the Pro because it's slightly cheaper and is a little faster, but then I found Amazon selling the plus as a refurbished model and had to pick some up. They come with a full manufacturer warranty too, figured I couldn't beat that!
