Great Card - Very Fast Sequential Speeds
Great card, delivers the promised speed of 95mbps. Sequential read speed is right at the advertised speed, and the write is lower (as expected) at around 45mbps. Still a very good number for a SDXC card at this price. If you plan on using this for a Raspberry Pie or similar, I would look elsewhere however, the random 4k read and write are quite slow. Used for a video camera or even a DSLR this won't matter, but for an OS type scenario you'll notice it. Overall a fantastic card and worth every penny of 44 bucks. Ran Crystal Disk Mark 5.1.2 with Transcend USB 3.0 Card Reader (TS-RDF5K) on a USB 3.0 port.The results are quite interesting. You'll see that this SD card is actually faster than most hard drives. Random read 4k is at 1542 IOPS (a fast disk drive will yield 150-200 IOPS). Random Read is nearly the same on 4k, both great numbers for an inexpensive SD card. The card is rated at UHS-1 U3 and should work well for 4k recording.Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 94.568 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 66.713 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 6.316 MB/s [ 1542.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1.090 MB/s [ 266.1 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 93.592 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 44.869 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 6.193 MB/s [ 1512.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 0.855 MB/s [ 208.7 IOPS]Very happy with the product, will purchase more.Note: You'll see people have different read/write speeds on these cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly -- and at a great price
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2016
I got this card about 10 days ago and have used it extensively. I was particularly interested in its U3 speed rating, since I shoot lots of 4K video at a speed of 100 Mbps (I use a Panasonic ZS100 camera). So far, this 128GB PNY SD card has worked perfectly, with no hiccups or problems. Even with 4K video at 100 Mbps, it can hold a LOT of video.

Good price and no glitches -- excellent product.

June 2, 2016 edit: I've now used this card for a month, extensively shooting 4K video. There has not been one glitch with this card -- excellent performance at a great price.

May 19, 2017 edit: The record lock slider on this SD card fell out around May 1, 2017. Granted, I use my camera a lot and have this SD card in and out often. Still, once the record lock slider fell out, I could no longer shoot stills or videos... I could only read what was already on the SD card. I contacted PNY's customer service, which said to provide proof of purchase (my Amazon invoice) and to send it back. I just received a replacement SD card, which is the second photo below. I was disappointed that the first SD card failed, but PNY came through promptly with a replacement -- good for PNY!
