Opinion and Analysis

The ‘extreme’ branding doesn’t just refer to fast operating speeds either, with those “harsh conditions” mentioned in the previous paragraph a clue.

The card is “capable of functioning in extreme temperatures, from -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit or -25 to 85 degrees Celsius, and carry a lifetime warranty”, according to Sandisk.

Rather usefully, the cards also come with “RescuePRO software for recovering deleted images” – decidedly handy if you’re a digital camera owner, whether amateur or professional, and accidentally delete an important photo or photos.

So... if you’re own a Sony device that can take advantage of MS Pro-HG Duo cards... the final frontier of more space is about to materialise in a store near you, at anywhere up to double the price of the SD equivalents.
