Review on 💾 KOMPUTERBAY 128GB Professional Compact Flash Card CF 1050X | Enhanced Speed UDMA 7 | RAW 128 GB | Read 160MB/S, Write 100MB/S by Ken Reiff

I used a computer bay 64GB 1000x for Magic Lantern RAW on a 5D Mark III which worked fine for me and needed more space. This card is not fast enough. Make Magic Lantern RAW. It starts slow and runs in lag spikes. If a lag spike occurs before the slow start catches up, or if multiple lag spikes occur in a row, frames will be dropped. I also saw that ML gave some errors about failed write attempts. From a benchmarking point of view, using the same Blackmagicdesign drive speed test shown in the product images, I get 80MB/s writing when it's working well, but that's not true. Speed will drop to 50 during many runs. I emailed them but didn't get a reply. Updated 4/9/2014 Support finally got back to me after a few days, but I've already sent the original card back. I decided to play the Komputer Bay card lottery and the 2nd works better. It doesn't test well, but in camera it starts up quickly and write speeds are much more consistent. I can get continuous recording at 1920x1152 with Global Draw enabled. If Global Draw and Card Spanning are disabled, 1920x1280 will be very time consuming. I have raised my rating to 3 stars. Support is slow, no need to play the Komputer Bay card lottery to get a good card, and it still doesn't hit advertised speeds, but it works for my needs.
