Hardware devices that can load memory cards are backward-compatible. For example, SDXC-compatible devices can use and support SDXC, SDHC, and SD cards. SDHC-compatible devices can use and support both SD and SDHC memory cards but not SDXC cards.
High-end SD cards have a large capacity and excellent read/write speed. The read speed is related to file transfer and data backup, while the write speed is associated with high-end cameras’ burst mode and photography features. For example, I compared the T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V60 and V90 memory cards. The V90 is faster compared to the V60. Next, take as an example two YouTube creators - A and B. Creator A usually films travel vlogs, therefore T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V60 is suitable for this type of creation demand. While creator B needs to make large and ultra-high-quality content, thus T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V90 having a higher speed can allow creators to record videos in high quality.
Creators should pick out suitable high-end memory cards by considering their creation demands and camera compatibility in terms of speed. I hope that this simple summary on memory card selection is helpful for you.
