Many cards are faster today, but they stopped numbering at 10.   Class 10 means at least 10 MB/second minimum, to be true of both read and write directions (minimum).  The card can be faster (the Class number only goes to 10, sort of an old style rating, but considered adequate for video).    8 bits per byte, so 10 MB/sec is 80 Mb/sec, which is more than 24 Mb/sec (minimum), yet obvious problems exist.  I have no explanation.  MB is Bytes, Mb is bits. If I found the correct card, your card is rated 200X (printed on the card, I think).  A dumb way to rate things, 200x means 200 times the old first original CD read rate of 150 KB/sec, so 200x means read speed of 200x150KB = 30 MB/sec...    Which is more than Class 10 10 MB/sec minimum.   8 bits per byte, so that is 8x30 = 240 Mbsec.   But 200x is Read speed, Write speed is normally significantly less. However Class 10 should be at least 10 MB (80 Mb) minimum.   I have no explanation why more seems needed.   It would be a good question for Nikon support, but I doubt they will volunteer anything. The telephone people probably don't know.  Sandisk support possibly could be more helpful?I know it is not your goal, but I would have no issue with the normal 12 Mb/sec rate.  It is pretty darn good, and will be better than most any cable/satellite channel quality.The only exception I know is Verizon FiOS cable, which is fiber to the house, with huge excess bandwidth, so they do not recompress any channel content smaller than they receive it.  The others all do.  Some a lot.  Satellite TV too. Their few hundred channels all have to fit into their available bandwidth.   So I am just suggesting to try it once, and to find that any actual problem actually does exist before being too alarmed about it.  You may like it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
