Lexar Professional Series 8 GB 300x UDMA CompactFlash Memory Card CF8GB-300-381 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Lexar 8 GB UDMA card to use in a Canon 5D Mark II, which writes very large (20MB) files when you shoot in RAW mode (which I do).The place where I see an advantage is in downloading these large files to my computer.

Mated to a UDMA card reader, the card transfers about 72 files a minute or a bit better than one per second. My old SanDisk Extreme III card in a non-UDMA-enabled reader takes about 3-4 times longer. And of course if you have a camera that writes large files, 8GB gives you some headroom when you're out taking large number of photos -- it can take about 240 RAW images on my camera.

There's also an advantage to a high speed card like this if you shoot continuously with this type of camera, since files will be written more quickly with a fast card.If you have a UDMA-enabled camera and shoot often in continuous mode, this may be a worthwhile purchase for you.If you have a need for lots of capacity with any camera and you have or buy a UDMA-enabled card reader, this card will speed up file transfer very significantly.In my experience Lexar makes very reliable cards that do not have compatibility issues with major brands of digital SLRs.

Transcend Ultra Speed Industrial - Flash memory card - 128 MB - 100x - CompactFlash Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a compact flash to cover industrial operating temperature range -40C to +85C and able to run OS like Windows XP perfectly. The minimium requirement to run OS on compact flash is UDMA. But not all compact flash with UDMA can run OS with no complication. I had tried Lexar Professional 8GB 300x. It installed XP ok but it did not run smoothly. Error popup here and there. After I did more research, I found Transcend TS8GCF100I. After Lexar failed, I was not sure what to expect. To my amaze, TS8GCF100I ran perfectly without hiccup. Then I ran it through temperature and damp heat tests. All were ok. It has been running for 3 to 4 months now and no issue has been found. I am planning to make TS8GCF100I a standard installation for our APP-601 recorder. The 16GB TS16GCF100I would be nice upgrade if more memory is needed.
