Can my K50 take advantage of the speed of Lexar Professional 2000x 32GB SDHC UHS-II/U

HGMerrill · 10-19-2016, 07:56 PM

Looking for a new memory card and wondering if my K50 will be able to take advantage of the speed of the Lexar Professional 2000x 32GB SDHC UHS-II/U3 (Up to 300MB/s Read)? If not, what's the fastest I can go?

Thanks!

Nope. You won't see any benefit beyond ~30 Mb/s class 10 cards, since the K-50 doesn't even support UHS-I.

But it doesn't hurt to use a faster card- if can speed up transfers to your PC and future-proof your kit.
