Sandisk SDHC Extreme Class 10 30MB VS. Sandisk SDHC Extreme III Class 6 30MB?
ByWhat is the difference between the two and what are the model/part numbers for each? Do they have the same specifications and have different labels? I don’t understand Sandisk’s approach to this.

I am not sure about all the specifics of SanDisk naming conventions, but do know this:
The "class" rating is the minimum read/write speed in MB/s. So, a class 2 has a minimum of 2MB/s read/write while a class 10 would have a minimum read/write speed of 10MB/s.
When it comes to the "Extreme" naming, I think that has to do with quality/durability. At least that is what I’m getting from the descriptions on Amazon:
