Large 512GB Storage Capacity

The Extreme GO provides 512GB of portable flash storage, giving users substantial space for high-resolution photographs, long video recordings, games, applications, documents and other digital content.

The high capacity is particularly useful for creators and mobile users who want to record or store more content before transferring files or freeing up space.

SanDisk defines 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Actual usable storage capacity is lower after formatting and other system requirements.

Up to 240MB/s Read Performance

The 512GB Extreme GO delivers sequential read performance of up to 240MB/s, helping reduce the time required to transfer large photo collections, videos and other files to compatible equipment.

SanDisk uses proprietary technology to achieve transfer speeds beyond the standard UHS-I 104MB/s bus rate, so compatible host hardware capable of supporting these enhanced speeds is required to reach the maximum advertised performance.

Actual transfer speeds can vary according to the host device, interface, usage conditions and file type.

Up to 160MB/s Write Performance

Sequential write speeds of up to 160MB/s help the card handle demanding recording and storage workloads, including high-resolution photography, burst shooting and supported high-resolution video recording.

The 160MB/s write specification applies to SanDisk Extreme GO capacities from 256GB through 1TB, including this exact 512GB model.

U3 and V30 Video Performance

The card carries both UHS Speed Class 3 and Video Speed Class 30 ratings. V30 specifies a minimum sustained video capture rate of 30MB/s under the applicable SD Association performance standard.

These ratings make the card suitable for real-time high-resolution video recording on compatible UHS-enabled host devices.

Compatible 5K and 4K UHD Recording

SanDisk positions the Extreme GO for demanding video applications including compatible 5K point-of-view recording and 4K UHD aerial video capture.

The card supports 5K resolutions up to 5120 × 2880 and 4K UHD resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 where supported by the host device. Available recording resolution, frame rate and recording duration depend on the camera, codec, file attributes and other settings.

A2 Application Performance

The A2 Application Performance Class is designed to provide strong random-access performance when applications are installed or run from the card on compatible devices.

SanDisk specifies A2 performance at up to 4,000 random read IOPS and 2,000 random write IOPS under the applicable test conditions. Actual application performance depends on the host device, application and workload.

Designed for Action Cameras and Drones

The combination of high transfer speeds, V30 video performance and durable construction makes the Extreme GO particularly suitable for compatible action cameras and drones used to capture demanding high-resolution footage.

SanDisk also lists compatibility with supported Android devices and handheld gaming systems, allowing the card to provide expanded portable storage across a broad range of equipment.

Built for Demanding Environments

The SanDisk Extreme GO is designed and tested to withstand challenging operating environments. SanDisk specifies the card as temperature-proof, humidity-proof, waterproof, shock-proof, drop-proof, magnet-proof, X-ray-proof and wear-out-proof.

These protections apply to the memory card itself and remain subject to SanDisk's specified test conditions and usage limitations.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The card is rated for operation from approximately -25°C to 85°C and storage from approximately -40°C to 85°C, helping make it suitable for a wide variety of outdoor, mobile and professional environments.

SanDisk Memory Zone Support

The SanDisk Memory Zone application can help users back up, organise and transfer compatible photos and videos from supported devices.

The software is available separately and requires download and installation. Current SanDisk documentation lists compatibility with Android 8 or later, iOS 15 or later, macOS 11 or later, and Windows 10 or Windows 11 when used with compatible host hardware.

Compact microSDXC Form Factor

The Extreme GO uses the compact microSDXC format and measures approximately 14.99 × 10.92 × 1.02 mm. Its approximately 0.26 g weight makes it suitable for compact mobile devices, cameras and other equipment where physical space is limited.

Lifetime Limited Warranty

The SanDisk Extreme GO is backed by a lifetime limited manufacturer warranty. SanDisk specifies a 30-year warranty in Germany, Canada and other regions that do not recognise lifetime warranties.
