Today, we will be taking a look at the SanDisk Extreme 32GB Micro SDHC Card UHS-I(3). It offers super fast speed of 90 MB/sec, which they claim is 600x the performance of a standard SD card. This particular range of SD cards from SanDisk – the “Extreme” series are aimed at the pro-consumer who wants to have a fast enough SD card to that they can record HD (1080p) and even 4K videos on their actions cams. Of course, not only that … you can also use it for your digital cameras, smartphone or tablet too.
Micro SD cards for storage can be found on most smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and action cams. Back in the early days, most users would just purchase any old SD card for their devices, without having to worry about performance. In today’s action-packed society this is no longer the case. You can now purchase SD cards that offer better performance and read/write speeds for their devices, especially when recording HD (1080p) and even 4K videos. A bog standard SD card will not be able to cope.
