Sandisk quietly launches a 2TB SD card – Extreme Pro is as fast as a hard drive, has a lifetime warranty and is actually cheaper than I’d expect
Western Digital recently split its business into two divisions: the WD brand, which now focuses exclusively on hard drives, and SanDisk, which manages the flash side, including SSDs, memory cards and USB flash drives. While browsing SanDisk’s site, I noticed that the Extreme Pro SDHC and SDXC UHS-I card is now available in 2TB capacity, expanding the existing range, which previously topped out at 1TB.
This is great news for content creators and professionals, as the doubled capacity provides enough room for thousands of RAW photos or hours of 4K UHD video, and the card is also fast, making it ideal for demanding tasks like continuous burst photography and slow recordings. moving video recording.
SanDisk claims the card offers read speeds of up to 250 MB/s and write speeds of up to 150 MB/s when used with the SanDisk QuickFlow SD UHS-I Card USB-A Reader (sold separately). QuickFlow exceeded the UHS-I speed barrier of 104 MB/s for the first time in 2018, and SanDisk made further improvements to its technology in 2022 and again in 2024.
Reasonably priced
Living up to the extreme part of its name, the card is designed to withstand harsh temperatures, humidity, water, shock and even X-rays, ensuring reliable data protection in harsh environments. It comes with a lifetime limited warranty, underscoring its durability, and buyers get access to RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software for two years after purchase to help recover accidentally deleted or damaged files.
2 TB of storage space is enough to store up to 47,368 24 MP RAW photos or over 2,800 minutes of 4K UHD video. Compatible with a variety of devices including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and laptops, the SanDisk Extreme Ppro SD UHS-I card is priced lower than I expected, and you can buy it now for $299.
if you want to pick it up SanDisk QuickFlow SD UHS-I Card USB-A Reader at the same time, that will cost you an additional $17.99. You can of course use the 2TB card with other readers.
