256 GB - that's quite a lot of photos to loose at once (if you misplace
the card). ;-)
But then, with this size, - you just never need to take it out of the

Some additional thoughts:
Samsung, whose cards I liked most recently, seems to have stopped
producing SD cards, but now they produce micro-SD cards exclusively,
The Ultra cards only have a guaranteed write speed of 10mb - the Extreme
Pro are a much better match for Pentax Cameras - still no need to go UHS-II
yet for Pentax unless you like to futureproof.

The ultra cards are slow, fast enough for the write speed of most Pentax
cameras but slow to download to a good add. The Sandisk extreme pro 64gb cards

The only website that I've found that even makes a pretense of measuring

tested with often much higher write speeds, so you don't really need to

Maybe. But I figure there could be a reason why the Transcend cards are
less expensive. Since I don't need that many cards, I figure I might as
well stick with a brand that has never caused me any trouble. That's
not silly, just common sense.

Could be. But I had a Transcend card failure, and I'm not gong to try
Well, I've not had any problems with any of the cards I've purchased.
I tend to buy in pairs, as the price for a given speed rating slides
down the capacity-performance/price curve, without specific regard
for brand, and often give away the older, slower, smaller capacity
cards with

My testing showed that the Transcend 150x is faster than the Sandisk

I haven't done any formal testing

That is a meaningless statement. It sounds well-informed but says

The last time this subject came up somebody posted a link to a site

That would be:

The bulk of my cards SD now and previousely CF are Transcend and i've
never had one fail. I'm quite happy with them and have been using them
since i had a Canon 10D when they first came out and now i'm using them
in SD with a K10d and DS.
