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 …

If I could ask a company to put the complete package of storage products together, it would be exactly what ProGrade Digital has done.  It starts with a ProHub by which an assortment of different readers could connect by USB-C for high speed.  ProGrade Digital did just that with their PG20 Pro Hub and infused this with the latest in …

ProGrade Digital has upped the ante when it comes to CFExpress Cards and their latest offerings reach an incredible data transfer speed of over 3500MB/s with 1500MB/s sustained write speeds.  This all relies on the newest USB 4.0 standard and they have put together a complete package to include PG20 Pro Hub and CFExpress A/B card Readers which we reviewed …

So… We seem to have a bunch of new high-end gear in hand and that is thanks to ProGrade Digital who sent over just a bit more than we expected.  If you are a camera or video professional, or enthusiast as I happen to be, finding this on the doorstep is simply Christmas.  Everything is Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 in some …

If you check out our site regularly, you might notice that we are starting somewhat of a ProGrade review kick in the week before Computex 2025.  It’s no coincidence as one day we awoke to find the below stack of goods on our doorstep… all Thunderbolt 4 or USB 4.0 related and all from ProGrade Digital. All fast storage stuff. …

CFExpress Type B cards have become a main stream item and will be here for some time.  We don’t feel the same with respect to CFExpress Type A as it is supported by few media devices in comparison and can’t come close to capacity or speed of CFExpress Type B.  Don’t get me wrong. CFExpress Type B has had its …

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 …

In recent months, we have completed a few articles on ProGrade Digital storage devices, as well as their card readers.  Our first report was on the 1700 Gold and Cobalt CFExpressB Memory Cards along with their Thunderbolt 3 Dual CFExpress Card Reader, which is posted here, We next covered their 1700 Cobalt 650GB CFExpressB Card with their Dual Slot CFExpress/SD …

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 …

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 …
