The memory card which is included in UHS-1, Class 10 speed class said to offer fast read and write speeds of up to 95MB/s and 90MB/s and this functionality is attributed to Samsung's V-NAND technology. The special feature of Samsung EVO Plus card is that it offers protection against temperature, water and X-ray which makes it best in class among memory cards in the market.

"The new EVO Plus 256GB used the third generation 48-layer V-NAND flash memory chip, raising the read and write speeds of up to 95MB/s and 90 MB/s respectively. It is rated at Ultra High Speed (UHS) Speed Class 3 (U3) by the SD Association, meaning that the device has a minimum writing speed of 30MB per second," according to Pulse.
