Review on πŸ’¨ High-Speed Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB CompactFlash Card: Optimal Performance for Photographers, Videographers, and Enthusiasts by Juan Grayson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Card system FAILURE, important WEDDING pictures for the customer were lost.

I rarely leave bad reviews about anything. I was just filming a wedding and part of a wedding this weekend (thank goodness I split my weddings into multiple maps) and the map worked perfectly and I downloaded this map and got this image on my camera saying that no map is available. It is not read on the camera or card reader. I went to a local photo doctor, they tried 6 different programs to recover my data and nothing, they said they had never seen anything like this in the 6 years they have been doing this. So my last resort was to send to DriveSavers (an excellent data recovery company, the best in the country and even the world, they have a 98% recovery rate). It should have cost me about 3 GRAND (which I didn't care as long as I could get those pics for my clients) for their engineers to get into the card, remove the chips and hopefully read the data. Well unfortunately my card fell into their 2% and I received a devastating call that this card and data WILL NOT BE RECOVERED! My heart sank because this affects not only me but also my favorite customers. I have a few Lexar cards left that I will never use again, I will be safe and trust my SanDisk cards for my future customers. I will no longer recommend this brand or anything else to many, many photographers.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • The list will be long.
