All the manufacturers claim 300mB/s read, but that is not what you will get in camera, as all the tests show, and different sites often show the different results for a given card.

But equally important is reliability, which is not reflected in those tests.

Alik Griffin also gives some sensible advice about choosing memory cards, in addition to his tests: https://alikgriffin.com/best-memory-cards-fujifilm-x-t5/

Personally, for SD-II, I have found SanDisk extremely reliable, if somewhat slow, but have had problems with some Lexar cards in the X-T4. I've settled on Kingston Canvas React Plus for SD-II cards as giving the best bang for the buck, and have never had any problems with them in the X-T4, X-T5 or X-H2S. I use SanDisk for SD-I in cameras that don't take advantage of SD-II, such as the X100V,

I don't shoot video but do use bursts a lot.
