Sandisk has introduced its latest Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 and V90 cards, offering enhanced capacity, durability, and sustained performance to meet the demanding needs of modern high-resolution video production.
Sandisk has refreshed its SD UHS-II line with two cards aimed at the increasingly demanding needs of modern video production, where 4K, 6K and 8K capture place sustained pressure on camera media as well as on the camera body itself. According to Sandisk, the new Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 is aimed at advanced creators and hybrid shooters, while the reworked Extreme PRO SD UHS-II V90 targets higher-end production environments that need faster, more consistent performance.
The V60 model is positioned for professional stills and video work, with Sandisk saying it is designed for 6K recording and burst shooting, alongside read speeds of up to 300MB/s and write speeds of up to 150MB/s. The card is offered in capacities up to 2TB, and Sandisk says it includes a two-year RescuePRO Deluxe recovery service. It is also rated IP68 for water and dust resistance and is built to survive drops of up to 6 metres, according to the company.
The V90 version is intended for more intensive cinema workflows. Sandisk says it is engineered for 8K video capture, with sustained minimum write speeds of 90MB/s on compatible devices and read speeds of up to 310MB/s for faster file transfer. The company says the 2TB model can store up to 1,118 minutes of 8K video at 30fps, or 47,368 24MP RAW photographs, and carries the same IP68 protection and 6-metre drop resistance as the V60.
For production teams, the appeal is practical rather than promotional: more usable capacity, better endurance during long takes and fewer interruptions when cards must be swapped in the middle of a shoot. Sandisk says both cards are available now, with the V60 starting at 64GB and the V90 at 128GB, each rising to 2TB. In a market where camera resolution keeps advancing faster than many workflows, the cards are designed to reduce one of the simplest sources of failure: media that cannot keep up.
