Lexar has done it again… and this time, Sony Alpha and FX series owners finally have reason to celebrate. For years, they’ve been like kids watching from the sidelines while Canon EOS R5 users like myself enjoyed the benefits of faster CFExpress Type-B storage. But that all changes now. Thanks to Lexar, Type-A users are catching up in a big …

CFExpress Cards have become commonplace in the media industry for some time now and, as a media professional, I cannot speak highly enough as to their value.  Its blazing speed within cameras such as my Canon EOS R5 allows me to find shots that I might have never prior.  Not only does it allow one to find the perfect shot …

Having been in the flash review business since the beginning, we have seen so many companies come and go.  This morning at Computex we visited Lexar when I realized that they are one of the few companies that we have covered consistently for more than 14 years.  And would you believe that we were in for a bit of a …

We’de like to say it’s been a long week evaluating and reporting on ProGrade Digitals newest 4.0 gear but, truth be told,  it is just nice to have this entire package in-hand to present it as it should be.  Our first report spoke to the PG 20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub where we also looked at both accompanying CFExpress A …

Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 years ago, but this Lexar …

I get asked quite often what I prefer with respect to storage cards in my camera equipment.  I try to stay away from exact brands and move the conversation into what I believe are necessary characteristics of the cards that I will put in my digital equipment.  Three things stand out.   I want storage that has high sustained write speeds …

It is no secret that we have been fans of Lexar for several years and, for the most part, their products are always found in our media work.  I love the simplicity, performance and calibre of their products plain and simple.  That’s why we simply had to reach out when Lexar introduced their newest CFExpress USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Card …

We absolutely love industry firsts and the Transcend RDE2 CF Express Type B Card Reader is just that!  For us, it is all about speed and, at least up until this card reader, the ONLY WAY to achieve full data transfer speeds from a CF Express Type B card was through Thunderbolt 3.  The trade-off to that speed is that …

Less than two weeks ago, we posted a report on the ProGrade Digital 1TB 1700 Gold and 325GB 1700 Cobalt CFexpress B Cards, along with their Thunderbolt 3 CFexpress Card Reader. We were so impressed we just had to do it again.  Admittedly, we were floored by the Cobalt 1700 speeds while maintaining anything but what could be considered the …

Some time ago, we posted our review on the newest storage media to hit the consumer as of late, the Lexar Professional 256GB CFexpress Type B Card.  At 1750MB/s read and 1000MB/s write, this storage media is pretty much the fastest there is for its size. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty, and at the time of our review, …
