Review on KOMPUTERBAY Professional COMPACT FLASH Extreme by Dave White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great option for more expensive cards

I bought a couple of these cards to use on a trip to the glacier region after buying a new camera that used compact flash instead of SDHC. The sticker shock of some of the other 32GB cards available was pushing my budget, so I hesitantly decided to try them since the reviews I read were positive. I filled two of them completely on my trip and started with the third. When I got home I popped them into a USB 3 card reader and had no problem loading all my pictures. Transfers were fast (although I didn't use software to sync) and I had no data loss or crashes. Once the download was complete, I put them in the camera and formatted them in preparation for my next field trip. Since I mostly shot landscapes and HDR images, I didn't test the camera/card's write speed by filling up the buffer and seeing how fast it clears. I would be interested in doing this and seeing what the results are. The cards have worked flawlessly so far and I will update my review if anything changes. Based on my experience, I would recommend these cards without hesitation.
