I kept having laggy photo performance. It would take a while to save multiple photos, process them, videos might prevent more photos from being taken. I was at a show recently and had issues where I lost photos and said 'That's it' and made an effort to research SD cards.
I've found this to be the fastest card on the market today. The EVO+ line is similar to the PRO+ line made by Samsung. I checked the press release on the most recent 256 GB EVO+ and it brought the read/write speeds up to line with the PRO+, but increased the storage to a whopping 256GB.
