Transcend CompactFlash 800x 64 GB (TS64GCF800)

The 800x multiplier in the model name of a Transcend CF drive indicates the flash drive's ability to exchange data at speeds up to 120 Mbps. In fact, everything is even more rosy — in the course of tests and in real operation, the maximum speed of reading and writing data reaches around 130 MB / s.

average speed

Still, you should not be deceived by such high figures, since the memory card does not enter the maximum performance mode so often. The average speed of writing files to it is 70 MB / s, and reading information — 120 MB / s. However, these values are quite capable of satisfying the needs of photographers in the production of serial photography.

Error Correction

The drive is also well suited for recording videos in FullHD format. Support for the VPG-20 standard guarantees a stable recording speed of at least 20 MB / s when shooting video. This eliminates possible drops of frames from the video sequence. And from errors in the process of data transfer, the flash drive is insured by a built-in algorithm for their correction, which automatically recognizes and corrects errors.

Reasons for Joy

A nice bonus for owners of a memory card will be an annual subscription to RecoveRx software for recovering lost data. In addition , the owners of a flash drive will be pleased with its resistance to low and high temperatures — the model maintains performance both in frosts down to -25 °C and in extreme heat (up to + 85 °C). And although the defect rate of the Transcend CompactFlash 800x is somewhat higher than that of its analogues, the manufacturer will easily replace a non-working drive under warranty, since its period is 5 years.

Good to know. The speed rating of CompactFlash memory cards is indicated as a multiplier (for example, 1000x), where the value of 150 kb / s acts as an "X". It was chosen for a reason — this is the minimum playback speed of a CD (the main storage medium in the early days of CF cards). Deciphering the speed indicators of the drive, knowing its index, will not be difficult. So, the model with the 400x prefix provides a data processing speed of 60 MB / s, and with the 1067x index — 160 MB / s.
