Real World Memory Card Performance
The UHS-II memory card gains its speed from an extra set of pins. While the card has the capabilities of performing of about 300MB/s read a write, it will default to rated bus speed of whatever device is used. So it will still function in cameras and memory card readers that are not rated for UHS-II and will simply default to those speeds. The same is true with how it performs in each cameras. It shines in UHS-II cameras, but will default to UHS-I speeds in cameras that are not designed to take advantage of that extra sets of pins.
Testing the card with Windows 10 shows slightly lower results than what the memory card is capable or at least what the card is rated for. You can see how the Sony G UHS-II cards stack up against the rest with this guide to memory card speeds.
