Which SD cards are reliable/affordable for shooting 25p 4k on the FX6?

According to the manual v60 should work perfectly fine. I'm confused there are 3 options from Sony alone:
1. Tough M series
2. M series
3. E series

What's the difference, apart from tiny price differences? Tough-obviously sounds durable. But between the M and E the reading and writing speeds are extremely similar. Anything I'm missing? Any advice what seems sensible, if 25 fps is all you need?

Many thanks,
i

25p in UHD or 4k and in XAVC-I runs at about 25MB/s so as long as you can write that rate with a bit of headroom your're good.
 
fyi: The “G” series are the top of the line in the “Tough” cards.


Same as “G” are the best in Sony XQD cards.


I generally spend for the best there is. But I don’t have kids.

Not V60 but I have been using this with zero issues at all resolutions and at all framerates and it is a great price. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08586LXN3

And this for cheaper does it just as well - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DSV9HG2
 
another +1 from me for the Kingston Canvas React V90 cards. I have both a full size and micro SD card version in 256GB and they work on every FX6 setting including S&Q @ 100fps on a 50fps timeline. Actually the micro SD card blows me away on how small it is. This site - https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/fastest-sd-cards/ - also rates the Kingston Canvas React on the top of their list. One thing, is that get HOT when pushed at higher bit rates, but so far no issues at all.

I can confirm that both works.

In V60 I use this one:
https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07T16Z1YR/ref=twister_B07T2CHMWP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 less than 100 € for 256Go.
which work without issue for 4k 25p (250Mbps). I didnt test for 50p but It crash with S&Q 120p and 240p.
