Extreme good for anything really, also certified for GoPro 5k recording. Write speed is great on regular or plus, looks like plus bumps up the read speed even more.

Would there be a chance you get sent a fake one? Its through a reseller.
Anyone know if there's a risk through bestbuy market place?

Amazon selling the Extreme (non Plus) version for $48 and is sold by Amazon.ca
[EDIT] Another poster commented it's not the same Extreme Plus version.

.. There appears to be a tiny bump in read-speed if you view the specs on the BB vs Amazon. 170 vs 160 :P

Extreme Pro 256gb $48 ish. (not sold by best buy)

Manufacturers are hell bent on confusing consumers with naming schemes.

Unless a person does a search on Google to find out which one is higher in speeds names do nothing these days.
I remember a time when things were simple Pro meant top and non pro meant regular use.

Heck even phones iPhone 13, 13 pro, 13 pro max what's next?
IPhone 14,14 pro, 14 pro max, 14 pro XXL, 14 go away poor person ultimate.

Bought one, thanks. Going to use it as the main card with my GoPro Hero 10 and have the 128GB Extreme (not plus) as my backup.

Any DSLR from the last decade or so should support SDXC (64gb to 2tb) as well. If your camera's manual says it supports SDXC, this will work. You will need the adapter to use it.

I and others don't use cards this large unless it's for long form video or you're taking literally thousands of photos. You can get an Extreme Pro 128gb for $38 on Amazon and elsewhere, and you're set.
