SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSD Card vs PNY Elite-X microSDXC Card

Both are 128GB microSDXC cards with A1 app performance and UHS-I, so they fit the same phones, tablets, drones and action cams. The SanDisk Ultra reads faster on paper (195 MB/s vs 130 MB/s), which matters when offloading large files; the PNY Elite-X is sold as a two-pack and states a 130 MB/s write speed, which helps for sustained recording and copying onto the card. Owners rate both highly, with the PNY drawing far more ratings. Buy the SanDisk for faster transfers off the card; buy the PNY two-pack if you need two cards or write speed matters more than read speed.

• Choose the SanDisk Ultra if you mostly pull files off the card and want the faster read speed for moving photos and video to a computer.
• Choose the PNY Elite-X if you want two 128GB cards in one purchase or you write to the card often, such as recording long video.
