Product Information

So, when it came to the fight against the SD card domination, the engineers behind the task borrowed (but not entirely copied the concept) from Compact Flash and gave us CFast. This is the more modern version of the Speed Class, with virtually all existing SD cards fitting into one of two UHS Speed Classes — either U1 or U3. These are denoted by either the number 1 or the number 3 within the letter “U” — usually found somewhere near the Speed Class. Most cards are going to be U3, which indicates a minimum write speed of 30 MB/s. Video Speed Class For a wallet-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on performance, look no further than the Sony SF-E UHS-II SDXC Card (V60)! Its unbeatable price makes it the ideal choice for budget-conscious shoppers. If you’re shooting super high-res photos on a DSLR or shooting 4K videos which eats up tons of space in no time, you would require a flash memory with not just higher capacity but also much faster write speeds. While premium SD cards to aid photographers for this need exist, low-end SD cards leave a lot to be desired for high-end photo and video creative professionals. The CFast cards can perform data transfers at a speed of about 600 MB/s, the same as a high-end SSD. This makes them ideal for 4K video and other bandwidth heavy applications. Especially when compared to SD cards, which max out at less than half of that speed.

Adapters are also the easiest way to transfer data to your computer, though many multi-slot cards external readers are equipped with MicroSD slots as well. CompactFlash (CF) First announced in 2010 by SanDisk, Sony, and Nikon, XQD is a flash memory card using the PCI Express interface. XQD Version 2.0, announced in 2012, moved to the PCI Express 3.0 interface. https://www.sandisk.co.uk/about/media-center/press-releases/2013/sandisk-launches-world%E2%80%99s-first-cfast-20-memory-card To this day, SD cards remain the most used form of storage for digital cameras. They’re cheap, small, and can be quite fast. The diminutive size also allows manufacturers to implement dual card slots in even very compact bodies. Similarly, it’s very common for a camera to feature an SD slot alongside another card type, like CompactFlash or CFexpress.For most photographers, we just recommend V60 cards — they’re a great balance between speed and affordability. If you shoot 4K (or higher) video, you may want to invest in V90 cards, depending on your camera. Basic 8-bit footage will write easily to V60 (or often even to V30) cards, and most 10-bit 4K will be fine with V60 cards, but higher-quality footage like ProRes RAW or regular RAW may need at least V90. The successor to CompactFlash, now based on the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, first hit the market in 2009, though it would take several years for the imaging industry to fully adopt the format. CFexpress is the latest standard from the CompactFlash Association. Originally launched in 2017 and using the XQD form-factor, the cards utilized two PCIe 3.0 lanes along with NVMe 1.2 for low latency and overhead. In 2019, the CFexpress 2.0 standard was announced, with an upgraded NVMe 1.3 protocol; two new form factors, “Type A” and “Type C” were announced, with the existing XQD form factor becoming “Type B.” Image via Explora

Boasting read speeds of up to 300 MB/s and write speeds of up to 299 MB/s, the Sony SF-G Tough UHS-II SD Card is currently the fastest and most expensive UHS-II SD card on the market. Perfect for continuous shutter bursts, rapid shooting and 8K, 6K, 4K video recording, this card is ruggedly designed to handle drops of up to 16.4′ / 5m, immersion in up to 16.4′ / 5m of water for up to 72 hours, and is dust, X-ray, magnet, and anti-static proof, as well as resistant to UV light and temperature extremes from -13 to 185°F.Avoid these at all costs. No cameras support the format and mutliple experts that have spoken to PetaPixel don’t believe any ever will. Repeat: no camera on the market in any category supports the SD Express format. Without such support, you get worse performance while paying significantly more than SD UHS-II cards. SD Express looks identical to SD cards, but don’t perform the same. Avoid them. | Photo by Jaron Schneider for PetaPixel
