Max P3P sd card write speed?

[JustinJ]

Please excuse if this has actually been discussed already! (I cannot find the answer)

What is the max write speed of the P3P?

I notice class 10 UHS-1 micro sd cards have vary different "write speeds"

(This is true of the "read speeds" quoted on the front of the packs too)

I am probably going to buy a Sandisk extreme pro 64GB - as it quotes both "read" & "write" of about 90 / 95 MB/s

Is this complete overkill if the P3P only writes at maybe 40 / 50 MB/s (for example) ??

Thanks

Supported SD Card Types Micro SD
Max capacity: 64 GB. Class 10 or UHS-1 rating required
Max Bitrate of Video Storage
Phantom 3 Professional
60 Mbps
Phantom 3 Advanced
40 Mbps

Doesn't hurt to have a better card, and it's not a significant price difference for a slower one anyway.

A lot of people like to quote the above video specs (which is 7.5MB/s max). Don't forget the Phantom saves large photos and you'll be transferring files back and forth between your computer.

The SanDisk Extreme (40MB/s write speed) would be a good choice too if that small $$ savings is important to you. If speed is most important, then go with the SanDisk Extreme Pro (90MB/s write speed).

Thank You for very prompt replies @bbfpv & @msinger

I will proceed to purchase a sandisk extreme pro 64gb - it's only £33 (or $50)

I think that is a very reasonable price!

(when I compare both the read and write speeds of the other sd cards)

That's a good card, I use it in my bird. It's actually 95MB/s. In my cameras I use the 160MB/s cards.

Or, you could save your $$.
Paying for the fastest card gives you no advantage except copying files across to your computer.
The Phantom is the bottleneck - not the card.
