Originally posted by Rob Shepter I have a pair of 95MBps SanDisk Extreme Pro cards and am exchanging emails with SanDisk as with all my computers (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1) and using different card adaptors (USB2, USB3, built in) I cannot get a read speed of above 18.9MBps or a write speed of above 9.9MBps, so am not convinced these cards will perform as claimed. I have a pair of 45MBps Extreme Pro cards for my K5IIs and these read/write at about the same speed...
Just like the camera, your computer needs to have powerful enough hardware to be able to leverage the faster speeds.

The extreme pro card offers the best performance money can buy, but Extreme cards with
write speeds of 45 Mb/s or 60 Mb/s come very close, so any of them will work. Check out our
K-3 review for a card performance test.
