Our take on the Samsung PRO Ultimate 256GB microSD
This Samsung PRO 256GB microSD card is a fast UHS-I model listed for drones, action cameras, phones and consoles. It costs a tracked $217.47, the bottom of a $217.47 to $237.69 range since August 26, 2026, though that is a high price for 256GB.
Samsung lists up to 200MB/s read and 130MB/s write, U3, V30 and 4K support, with six-way protection. A box note names a 128GB card, so check the capacity before buying. The packet also lists up to 15 hours of 4K video on the card. Reviews total 1,328, averaging 4.7. It suits fast offload from a camera, not budget backup.
