You should FORMAT the card as per "original" specifications, please see:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html

I used to format in each camera, thinking of best "compatibility", but I found there is a big difference. In camera if really I need, just DELETE files.

If you search (I deleted lots of info files including SD card tests) you will find that not always what is on card spec is what how it works inside your camera.
As example, NX1 had a... lower performance with the first firmware, much improuved later, as per this forum now now is able to write around 200MBps.
I have high speed cards, but did not tested performance, what I need is far less, anyway in RAW 15fps it works for 4-5 seconds at highest speed (did not count final size on card).
