none of the devices we use actually have the pins for UHS-II, right? im pretty sure at this point thats only a camera thing
i technically havent even seen a recorder that lists UHS-I as a spec, usually they just say sdhc or sdxc
i usually dont spend a ton of money on cards, just mid grade ones that work, here are some ive tested with the h2testw windows software, sequential read and write across full card. Ive seen older class 4,6, and 10 cards test slower but none really much faster than these. this is with the PCI card reader on my five-year old laptop, i will try to procure a modern usb3 reader and see if any can go higher. technically they should test a bit higher per the tests on this site:

technically ANY of these should be fast enough for our purposes. even a mixpre6 writing (
24-192 channels is only writing at 4.5 MB/sec
however that doesnt mean that all cards are equal. the 512GB lexar microsdxc above will stutter and skip on my PCM-A10 when playing 24-96 FLACs (which requires under 0.5 MB/sec). I have not been able to reproduce that with the 32GB sandisk pro SDGC, or the internal memory. even though the lexar card should be plenty fast enough, id be leery to record direct to it (esp as 24/96 wavs are a higher write speed than 24/96 FLACs due to lack of compression)
