Transcend CompactFlash 1000x 64 GB (TS64GCF1000)

The 1000x model is the fastest CF card in Transcend's fleet. It is designed to quickly process large amounts of data, whether it is a series of RAW photos or 3D video.

Reading and writing

The actual data reading speed is a little short of the out-of-the-box values and is 130 Mb / s instead of 160 Mb / s. Recording occurs at a speed of about 100 Mb / s with a claimed rate of 120 Mb / s. Despite discrepancies with the claimed values, the memory card is one of the fastest of its kind.

Peculiarities

The manufacturer was not too lazy and endowed the flash drive with several interesting features. Firstly, the memory card supports the VPG-20 standard — with its help you can shoot videos in professional quality and not worry about dropping frames. Secondly, the device has a built-in error correction algorithm that effectively recognizes and corrects errors during data transmission. And thirdly, the flash drive feels great at sub-zero temperatures down to -25 °C.

Performance

Transcend gives a lifetime warranty on its product, but specifies that the life of the memory card is limited to 10,000 plug/unplug cycles. Despite the serious approach, the percentage of marriage among the representatives of this model is still high — this is confirmed by numerous reviews about the flash drive. However, professional photographers and videographers favor the memory card as it provides high performance at an attractive price.
