The SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card is Now Cheaper Than During Previous Black Fridays

Photographers, videographers, and drone enthusiasts, this one’s for you. Amazon is running a huge sale on SanDisk’s 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II memory card, now just $110. That’s a huge 42% discount from its usual price of $190.

SanDisk is the gold standard of memory cards for visual artists and enthusiasts alike because of the peak performance and crazy-fast speeds of their products. These are designed with professional photographers and videographers in mind, but they’re priced for everyone, especially at 42% off.

When you’re shooting or recording straight to a memory card, the last thing you want or need is to have your shoot destroyed by laggy performance. That’s never a concern with the SanDisk Extreme PRO, which writes at up to 260MB per second to keep up with continuous-burst shooting.

For video, the SanDisk Extreme PRO is able to write at sustained V90 speeds and UHS Speed Class 3 to capture cinema-quality 8K, 4K, and full-HD recordings. And when you’re ready to transfer your high-end video and photo magic to your laptop or other computer, the SanDisk Extreme PRO will move them at blazing speeds up to 300MB per second, so you’ll be ready to move your memory card back to your camera for another round.

The design of the SanDisk Extreme PRO had remote shoots in rugged conditions in mind. The disk is shockproof, temperature-proof, waterproof, and X-ray proof so you don’t have to worry about losing your precious material when going through airport security.

The ability to take your once-in-a-lifetime photos and videos and safely transport them from wherever you were shooting to your studio or home is worth the price of admission all by itself, and it’s a peace of mind that many full-sized USB portable hard drives cannot match.

It’s hard to believe that the world’s first 128GB flash drive was introduced only 15 years ago, in 2009. Harder still to believe? It cost nearly $550 upon release. The price of removable storage has plummeted over time, making it affordable and accessible to everyone.

Even with that in mind, $110 for a pro-level 128GB SD card like the SanDisk Extreme PRO is an amazing deal. This card usually retails for $190, but at $110 at Amazon it’s a steal not just for professional photographers and videographers, but for anyone wanting to capture, store, and transport high-level imagery from their camera or drone.
