This category contains SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards for cameras, camcorders, dash cams and other devices with an SD card slot. Our range includes over 250 models from brands such as SanDisk, Transcend, Kingston, Lexar and ADATA. You will find simple everyday cards as well as fast models for 4K video recording.
How to choose an SD card
Card type. SDHC cards go up to 32 GB, while SDXC cards start at 64 GB. Older cameras and card readers sometimes do not recognise SDXC, so check your device manual first. Most of the cards in our range are SDXC, with SDHC and standard SD also available.
Capacity. For photos and short clips, 32 or 64 GB is often enough, but 4K video fills 128 or 256 GB quickly. Most of our cards are 64, 128 or 256 GB, with 512 GB and 16 GB models also available.
Speed. Read speed tells you how quickly files move to your computer, but for filming the video speed class matters more. V30 guarantees a minimum write speed of 30 MB/s and is enough for many 4K cameras, while V60 and V90 are meant for professional equipment with high bitrates. Our range has more UHS-I cards, but UHS-II is available too: those cards have an extra row of contacts and reach full speed only in a device that supports UHS-II. Read speeds in our range run from 10 MB/s to 280 MB/s.
Temperature tolerance. In a dash cam, security camera or drone, the card has to cope with a hot car or cold weather outdoors. Some of our cards work from -25 to 85 °C, and there are models rated from -40 °C.

Frequently asked questions about SD cards
What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC cards?
The difference is capacity and file system. SDHC cards go up to 32 GB, while SDXC cards start at 64 GB and go higher. SDXC cards are usually formatted with exFAT, so older devices may not read them.
Which video speed class do I need for 4K recording?
V30 is enough for many 4K cameras. It guarantees a minimum write speed of 30 MB/s. If your camera records at a high bitrate, the manufacturer often recommends V60 or V90, so check the camera specification.
Will a UHS-II card work in a UHS-I device?
Yes, a UHS-II card works in a UHS-I device because the standards are backwards compatible. Its speed will be limited to the UHS-I level, though. You only get full UHS-II speed with a device and card reader that support that standard.
Which SD card should I buy for a dash cam or security camera?
Choose a card designed for continuous recording with a wide temperature range. Such cards are often labelled high endurance or industrial, and their operating temperature can span from -25 to 85 °C. Pick the capacity according to how many days of footage you want to keep.
