SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash 120MB/s 128 GB

Extreme

Memory modules are the backbone of SanDisk products and one of the brand's significant income items. SanDisk's Extreme CompactFlash Drive is an inexpensive and not too fast CompactFlash card that is designed for owners of "adult" DSLRs working in extreme conditions. The name Extreme obliges this.

Not afraid of difficulties

The card works stably in the temperature range from -25 to +85 Celsius. In fairness, this is not unusual and many other memory cards of this level can do such tricks. But we go further and see that the outer shell of the flash drive is also not simple — it does not bend under load, and also has resistance to shock and vibration. In order not to waste words, SanDisk gives a lifetime warranty on its Extreme series cards.

average speed

In terms of characteristics, the drive lacks stars from the sky, being a typical representative of the middle class. Nevertheless, the claimed information exchange rates are observed with great care — when writing, data is packed onto a USB flash drive at a speed of 85 MB / s, and when reading, the speed is kept at a stable 120 MB / s. Such high-speed indicators allow continuous shooting in FullHD, and are also suitable for recording photos in RAW + JPEG format. But for shooting in UltraHD and, especially, 4K, this is not enough.
