5.0 out of 5 starsIt's the real deal.
Reviewed in Australia on 16 June 2020
I was slightly skeptical at first. I only purchased the SanDisk 400 GB Extreme card after seeing the positive reviews here, along with knowing that Amazon would also be fulfilling the order.

However, I still wanted to be sure that the SD card was legitimate before using it to film 4K H.265 footage.

I tested the SD card using H2testw (v1.4). I used the SD card slot of a Surface Book 2 with a BaseQi SD card adapter. The test results were inline with real world expectations (the computer was also being used for other projects whilst the test was in progress).

I also compared the SanDisk 400 GB Extreme to a SanDisk 64 GB Extreme and SanDisk 128 GB Extreme Pro I had purchased from a reputable local retailer. The fonts and logo all appear to match perfectly and the physical layout of the pins and memory chip match exactly, and the text and serial number layout on the back also match.

The warranty details listed inside the packaging were also for my region and contained correct contact information.

It's fair to say that these cards are genuine and you should be confident in your purchase.

Below are the H2testw results:
Warning: Only 375558 of 375560 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 78.7 MByte/s
Reading speed: 84.7 MByte/s

1.0 out of 5 starsWorked for one day..
Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2020
When it worked, lightning transfer speed occurred.. but it wasn't meant to last. It started playing up on my Desktop PC last night and my Laptop this morning. The behavior is connect-disconnect-connect-disconnect to infinity and beyond at super speed. I took the video at rick of destroying my SD Card. Please send me a replacement. Thanks!

2.0 out of 5 stars Another fake spec from SanDisk
Reviewed in Australia on 25 January 2020
Capacity: 256GBStyle: Extreme ProVerified Purchase
Is it fast, meh. Far Far less than 160MB/ sec. I tested it with copying just a big 7GB file, read was around 110MB/sec just for couple of seconds and then dropped to 70MB/S for the rest of time.
I stopped purchasing SanDisk two years ago, then only reason I purchased this one again was it's promises about reading speed, I am sure Samsung EVO is much better choice.

2.0 out of 5 stars No good for GoPro Hero9
Reviewed in Australia on 25 April 2021
Capacity: 256GBStyle: Extreme ProVerified Purchase
Either I have a faulty SD card or this SD card doesn't work very well with the GoPro Hero9. Approximately 50% of the videos I record on the Hero9 fail due to "SD ERROR" on the GoPro. Very frustrating when you think it's recording.

I have tried formatting the card but that doesn't seem to have resolved the issue.

I used this in my hobby drone, had some great footage. Four months old card died, lost a lot of good stuff.

No returns. No refund.

Sucks. I will do more research next time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fast, but not even close to 160mb/s as in the description.
Reviewed in Australia on 18 November 2020
Capacity: 128GBStyle: ExtremeVerified Purchase
In the description, Reading speed is 160mb/s for 128GB cards when all the test shows that it is around 80-90mb/s so it is 2 times less than the seller declare. You can look at other reviews photos, none of them even close to 160mb/s.

The seller never responded to my questions and the product seemed fake. I contacted sandisk to confirm about. They said it’s genuine. But the god pins on it are getting marks as I plug it in and remove it on my Nintendo

These are made in China as evident from the shoddy paint work. These appear to be clones of the originals.

2.0 out of 5 stars fast but unreliable like most sandisk products these days but good when it works
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2019
Capacity: 128GBStyle: ExtremeVerified Purchase
i have been buying sandisk for years and they were the best - fast, reliable and excellent value. i have purchases a few sandisk usb flash drives, usb c and usb 3 and they all had one thing in common; highly unreliable and required regular (full formatting) after they for no reason stop copying and make windows crash. i thought i would give this sandisk product one final chance because its from their "extreme" range and i hadn't tried the sd cards so i thought benefit of the doubt. right from the packet, it made windows crash - not sure why but after restarting, i put it in saying error and let windows repair it. started copying my music, it was lightning fast - around the 60-70 mbs mark and about 1/3 way through 0! wouldnt respond and crashed windows. so, same process... FULL format and it worked ok but i had moved it to USB 2.0 just to be sure - i simply wanted to copy the files didn't really care about the speed.
put simply, i think i am done with sandisk now - i won't bother returning this now as i have my music on my phone and will leave it at that.
but if you want a micro sd card for regular use or any thing memory/flash related i REALLY advise you NOT to buy sandisk products as they ALL (i have had 4 sandisk flash based drives) and they all exhibit the same behaviour.
if you want very casual use and don't mind the occasional faffing around with formatting and stuff, then i suppose for the money they are OK.
also i have attached the benchmark - no 160mb ANYWHERE - even on the sequential read which is the fastest so i would go so far to say its a lie - same for the 90mb claim. stopped running the test after the sequential as it was known what was to follow with others.
