Transcend CompactFlash 1000x 128 GB (TS128GCF1000)

1000x class card

The 1000x model is the fastest CompactFlash card in Transcend's fleet. It is designed for lightning-fast processing of large amounts of data, whether it is a series of RAW photos or 3D video.

Recording at maximum speed

Synthetic tests showed a slight discrepancy between the claimed speeds of reading (160 MB / s) and writing data (120 MB / s) when exchanging large files (weighing more than 1 GB). Arrays of images in RAW format are written to the memory of the drive at a speed of about 110 MB / s. So, paired with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR, we managed to achieve a result of 113 MB / s, and with a reportage "monster" Canon EOS 1D X Mark II — 118 MB / s. However, even despite the discrepancies with passport characteristics, it is still one of the fastest cards of its kind.

Lifetime Warranty

Recording video on the Transcend CompactFlash 1000x memory should not cause any problems, also because it supports the VPG-20 specification (guaranteeing stable video recording at a speed of at least 20 MB / s) and has a built-in error correction algorithm that effectively recognizes and corrects errors in the process data transmission. Plus, the flash drive feels great at sub-zero temperatures down to -25 °C and is equipped with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. However it is important to understand here that it still has a resource for generation, which is 10K connection / disconnection cycles.
