Extreme SD & CF Cards Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes an SD or CF card “Extreme”?
Extreme cards are designed for high-speed performance and durability. They typically feature faster read/write speeds, higher video speed class ratings (like V30 or V90), and enhanced resistance to water, shock, and temperature.

2. Are Extreme SD cards compatible with regular cameras?
Yes, but to take full advantage of their speed, your camera should support UHS-I or UHS-II. If your device doesn’t support these standards, the card will still work but at lower speeds.

3. Can I use Extreme CF cards for video recording?
Absolutely. Extreme CF cards are ideal for professional video recording, especially in formats like 4K or RAW. Their high sustained write speeds prevent dropped frames and buffering issues.

4. How do I check the speed rating of an Extreme card?
Look for the UHS speed class (U1/U3) and video speed class (V30/V60/V90) printed on the card. These indicate the minimum sustained write speed, which is crucial for video and burst photography.

5. Are Extreme cards more durable than standard ones?
Yes. Extreme cards are built to withstand harsh conditions, including water, dust, X-rays, and extreme temperatures. They’re ideal for outdoor and travel use.

6. How do I safely format an Extreme SD or CF card?
Use your camera’s format function or a dedicated SD/CF card formatter tool. Avoid quick formats on computers unless necessary, and always back up your data before formatting.
