That more or less reinforces the impression that I got from this article,

https://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/pentax-k-3-ii/fastest-sd-card-comparison-test/

You really need a card with a write speed of about 40MB/s to cover the K-3* and K-1 bus speed, and a fast read speed if you're using an external card reader.

Sandisk cards with a 40MB/s write speeds are going for about ~$5 per 16-32GB on amazon.  So if you don't care about the maximum read speed you can buy quite a bit of memory for not a lot of money.

*Assuming that the K-3 and K-3II have the same bus architecture, with I think is a fair assumption.

I ended up going with a couple of these:

at $60 for 1/4 TB.  Yeah, I'm gobsmacked, not only by the cost, but by the size.
