The next-generation Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card delivers transfer performance up to 1600/1,200 MB/s, which is 4 times faster than a high-speed UHS-II SD card and 12 times faster than a standard UHS-I SD card.

The Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card adopts PCIe and NVMe protocols, using the PCIe Gen3 x2 bus speed to increase read/write performance to 1,600/1,200 MB/s. It ensures all transfers, whether of large files, random small files, or dynamic or static image output, are completed at the highest performance.

The SDXC Express memory card is equipped with an SSD-level LDPC (Low-density parity-check code) automatic error correction function and has passed liquid, shock, X-ray, anti-static and extreme temperature resistance tests to deliver effective protection for important data.

The Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card can maintain a minimum write speed of nearly 150MB/s and is backward compatible with video speed classes below V30, perfectly facilitating low latency, high-speed photography without frame drops.

Available in 1TB capacity options, the Premier Extreme SD8.0 Express memory card can record tens of thousands of photos and hours of 4K videos.

SD Express cards should be used with HOSTs that support SD Express interface. Actual performance depends on both memory card and Host as explained in below graphs.

The SD Association has defined various Speed Class standards to answer a demand for advanced video quality recording. Speed Class symbols indicated to host and card products help users decide the best combination for reliable recording (no frame drop). Before use, we recommend checking whether the card’s speed class meets your device’s specifications for optimal performance.
