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 …

ProGrade Digital Gold CFExpress 2.0 Type A 480GB Memory Card Review – Increased Storage With 900MB/s Speeds
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 …
Read More »Lexar Professional Gold 2TB CFExpress Type B Memory Card Review
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 …
Read More »Transcend RDE2 CF Express Type B Memory Card Reader Review – 1st 20Gbps CFexpress B Reader on the Market at a Great Price
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 …
Read More »ProGrade Digital 650GB Cobalt 1700 CFexpress B Card & Dual Slot CFexpress/SD Card Reader Review
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, …
Read More »ProGrade CFExpress B 1TB 1700 Gold / 325GB 1700 Cobalt Memory Cards & Thunderbolt 3 Card Reader Review – Things Just Keep on Getting Better
Sustained write disk performance is not advertised with most CFexpress Type B cards today and, in fact, it is not common whatsoever in the flash industry. As much as it is not spoken of, consumer SSDs, SD cards, compact flash cards, and even the latest CFexpress cards, are marketed and sold according to their ‘peak’ read and write data transfer …
Read More »SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB CFExpress B Card Review – Understanding Sustained Data Transfer, Temperatures and Thermal Throttling
In case you missed it, there has been a storm in the camera industry as of late. As much as I would like to say it’s the newest Canon EOS R5 camera I have in hand, it’s not. It is the controversy surrounding this R5 video capabilities and the correlation of internal temperatures and a point where the camera will …
