san disc extreme 3 would prolly be your fastest but it also depends on what speed your camera or whatever its going into can handle.

YES.

Watch out for ebay, they have alot of the extreme IV’s on there that have a similar label… Yet a standard and slow card is under it.

Surf camera forums and buy used. Save ~50% off new (or more) and get a card that is definitely not a fake.
