Review on KOMPUTERBAY Professional COMPACT FLASH Extreme by Austin Arvayo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Avoid if you are a professional photographer or filmmaker.

This card was purchased to replace a Duracell 32GB 600x memory card. I was filming out of state for ApartmentGuide.com and after several hours of non stop filming the card died. I got an error message on my 7D, the ticket exchange ended on my deadline, they went to my hotel, nothing about the computer or my camera. I returned home and tried connecting my card via 7d and 3 different card readers. I tried connecting it to different card readers in Windows 8, Windows XP and Ubuntu systems but the card is not visible. I tried checking computer management to check the partition. He can't be found. Strangely, my 7D sees it and says it should be reformatted, but while I didn't want to format it, maybe I could at least access it that way with a recovery program after it's restored, which is what prevented it from ever being recognized on the PC becomes. Strangely, my 7D recognizes the card is there, but when I tried to format it, the 7d says it can't be formatted. This product has cost me, my company, the tour guide and the local apartment complex time and money. We cannot recreate the shooting time. I would not rely on this product unless you are a pro. That's a pity, too, because the product has a fair price.

Pros
