Speed Class Rating

The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. These are defined in terms of suitability for different applications

• Class 2 for SD video recording
• Class 4 and 6 for high-definition video (HD) to Full HD video recording,
• Class 10 for Full HD video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills
• UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large HD video files

The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves that translate into the following minimum read-write performance levels on an empty card
Class Minimum performance
Class 2 2 MB/sec
Class 4 4 MB/sec
Class 6 6 MB/sec
Class 10 10 MB/sec

Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of megabytes per second as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed.[41] By comparison, the older "
