Review on KOMPUTERBAY 64GB Pro CF Card - 1000X Speed, 150MB/s, UDMA 7, RAW 64 GB by Tim York

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Received a defective card. Be sure to test the card!

A defective card has arrived. Everything was fine with the fast format, the first tests of about 500 high-speed (10 frames/sec) frames were written without problems. It's been years since I received the defective media, so I haven't done any further testing. After about two weeks and 6,000 shots, the camera buffer started to fill up and fps slowed down, which never happens. Then the camera could not write to the card. At home I copied what data I could and then attempted to run the full format. I've tried several times but the full format always fails. Quick Format works fine because it only overwrites the file table and does not check the integrity of the data room. When I tried to fill the drive with data after a quick format, I got write errors again. If you decide to try the map, make sure you're running FULL FORMAT. I saw NO problems initially, not for the first 40GB of photos. Luckily, I discovered the problem after a few weeks, not months, after which I might not have received a refund. bad and lazy.
