The card is robust and can be used under extreme conditions, although the manufacturer's specifications do not provide specific details regarding water resistance or X-ray protection. The card is not intended for use in devices requiring write speeds higher than 10 MB/s, such as for 4K video recording.
**Note: The claim of a maximum read speed of 150 MB/s in Source 3 is inconsistent with the 100 MB/s stated in other sources. The 100 MB/s figure is consistently confirmed in Sources 1, 4, 5, and 6 and is therefore used in this text. The information regarding water resistance, X-ray protection, and temperature resistance in Source 3 is not supported by other sources and is therefore not included in the text.
