Lexar Professional 3500x CompactFlash 32 GB

Shooting ultra-high-definition video at the advanced amateur and professional levels requires extra-fast memory cards. These are CFast 2.0 standard drives, in particular the Lexar Professional 3500x CompactFlash flash drive.

Compatibility

Unfortunately, the model is not backwards compatible with previous generations of CF drives, so it is supported by a limited number of compatible devices. Slots for this flash drive are available on board the Canon XC10 and Canon EOS C300 Mark II camcorders, as well as in the Nikon D5 and Canon EOS 1D X Mark II reportage cameras.

Phenomenal speed

The Lexar Professional 3500x CompactFlash stands out from other players with a truly phenomenal data transfer speed: in file reading mode, the speed reaches 525 MB / s, and when writing — 445 MB / s. Such advanced speed characteristics open all the doors for operators to record 4K videos with a high bitrate. However, a 32 GB drive is more suitable not for video shooting, but for “shooting bursts” of photos, since its memory capacity is not conducive to long-term video recording.

no alternative

Along with the flash drive, access to downloading the Image Rescue data recovery utility is provided. And the manufacturer gives a limited lifetime warranty on the product itself. The model is available in versions with memory capacity from 32 GB to an impressive 512 GB. And if the junior representative of the series costs quite a lot of money, then the price tag of the older modification involuntarily rounds the eyes. Nevertheless, you still have to pay, because. there are practically no alternatives to a memory card.
