32GB Extreme PRO CompactFlash Memory Card UDMA 7 Speed Up To 160MB/s - SDCFXPS-032G-X46

Authentic. Works great.

SHORT VERSION: For those who do not want to read the entire review, let me break it down. These are incredible, and worth every penny. I have used them professionally for a few years, and they have never let me down. If you are looking for a incredible CF card, you have found it. LONG VERSION: To start, let met start off by saying that I am a professional wedding photographer. We photograph roughly between 25-35 weddings a year. We currently have 5 Canon cameras, and 6 of these Sandisk Extreme Pro 128gb Compact Flash cards. The ages range from about 3 years old, to 3 months old. This year alone, we will have taken roughly 4 Terabytes of raw photos. 100% of our photos will have gone through these Extreme Pro cards. Out of the entire time I have owned these cards, they have never let me down. I have never had a failure, never had a corruption. Our cameras are set up with two memory card slots. Most are 1 CF and 1 SD. We also use Sandisk Extreme Pro SD 128gb cards. Our cameras are set to write RAW to both. These cards are the fastest CF that Sandisk offers. The speed not only helps when writing to the card itself (Most cameras max out at about 50-60MBs) but when you are downloading them back to your computer. Thats where they really shine. Use a Lexar HR1 4 bay hub. We have 4 cards downloading at once, and the fast 160MBs speed helps with time. I have attached a screen shot of a speed test performed one of these cards. It was performed by a USB 3 Lexar CFR1 reader. The speeds are lower than what is rated, but that could be my USB3 reader, and not the actual card. When shopping for memory cards, there are several brands. But I 100% believe that Sandisk are the best. We use Sandisk exclusively in every camera we own. I was not reimbursed in any way for this review. Pros: Extremely reliable Relatively inexpensive for the size Fastest Speeds that Sandisk Offers Cons: Not the cheapest on the market. TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT: For proper data management, you should ALWAYS format (not delete) your card inside the camera. Every single time. For proper workflow, it should be downloaded to a computer, put back in the camera, and then formatted. That will ensure that your data is as safe as possible. That has been my workflow, and I have never had a corruption issue.

Bought this yesterday in preparation for a family vacation to replace my old 2GB card that takes FOREVER to transfer pictures. Snapped a dozen or so pictures around the house to put some images on the card, the camera recognized it immediately and worked flawlessly with it. The transfer speed from card to PC via USB-C is good, not blazing fast but certainly not slow by any means. This will allow me to takes lots of pictures on vacation and transfer them to my NAS to create a slideshow for our echo show in no time. Very happy with it after just a few hours. I'll update this review of I have anything to add, but for now, this is a fantastic card for the price, 32GB holds a ton of pictures with room to spare! Highly recommend this for anyone with an older DSLR that uses CF cards!!

Good quality and worked as expected.

Simply stated, I won't use any other brand of CF cards in my cameras. I'm sure some of the no-name cards have similar specs for a lower price, but I need to know for sure that my photos are reliably saved when I hit that button. I just want to focus on taking photos without thinking about the reliability or speed of my memory card. SanDisk has been the leader in memory cards since the early days of digital photography, so I know I can trust them. This particular card is an upgrade for me from an older, smaller, slower SanDisk card for my Canon 5D Mark II. I generally don't need that much space for taking stills, but when I shoot in RAW format, I've used as much as 50GB in a single event. The faster speed means I can shoot more shots in a row without waiting for the card to finish saving.

Qualty Product from an Outstanding vendor!!!

First up IMO a five star review should only be reserved for products that EXCEED expectations. no product that does what it's supposed to do should get extreme praise. So this one does what it should, record my images as fast as my camera's cache can dump to it and gets a fair four star rating. My 120MB/s "Extreme" that I bought lagged behind my fast shutter speed and internal camera memory and dropped some images. That said, in ALL camera applications there are things to be aware of which applies to all memory cards used in a camera. 1. Format the card in the device you're going to use it in. 2. Trying to force it in upside down may crack the card or bend the pins in your camera / device. 3. USB transfer may beat card removal due to the possibility of #2 above. 4. If your camera / device has the ability to write simultaneously to TWO CF cards it's a very good idea to have two installed. A Pro simply cannot tell a client the shoot went bad because a memory card failed. Also, a memorable private event like a wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Christening, baby pix, or vacation is worth the cost of a redundant memory card and is well worth the added expense.

These cf cards are extremely fast and reliable for the price. Also get a year of their RescuePRO deluxe recovery software.
