APS-C mode is lower resolution and the buffer doesn't fill rapidly. I don't machine gun critters but I frequently shoot more than a dozen shots in rapid succession. But even in full frame mode I can shoot at a pretty good pace. I use two 95 mb/s sandisk extreme pro 64 gb cards with the camera set to record the same data on each.
