A Solid Price!: Computers and Accessories

I bought two of these to use in my Canon 1DX camera. This is the third and fourth Komputer Bay CF card I have purchased. I previously bought 32GB cards for my Canon 7D. All Computer Bay cards work great. I'm not a hardware expert so I can't give you reference write speeds compared to other brands but I will say they work very well for my use. The 1DX can capture up to 33 frames of RAW data at 10fps before the camera's buffer fills up while waiting to be written to the CF card. When I reach this limit, the writing process is completed within 3 seconds, which indicates a very good data transfer speed to the cards. Can I spend another $100 per card and reduce the cooldown from 3 seconds to 1 second? Possibly, but unless I see Bigfoot in the woods or a UFO lands in my driveway, I doubt I'll ever see a time when the extra cash is worth it.
