ROBERT –
I was amazed by how fast my photos loaded into the PC and directly into Lightroom. These cards are pricey at the moment, but well worth the investment. No going back to the old CF cards.
Djc737 –
Sandusky is the only brand I use wether it is CFexpress or SD. have used them in many brand cameras and never had a failure.
Elitefaction –
Great read and write speeds But it seems like it gets too hot, Im worried about longterm use for this device Because it can get too hot to touch Without burning your fingers.
Aleksandar –
I ise it on Nikon Z7. Its worth noting you wont get write speed higher than that of an XQD card on this camera. It is now conpatible with CFe cards but doesnt use thwm to their full potential.
Brent –
I love that Moment is branching out now, and offering more gear for photographers I just got my Canon R5 and needed a new CF Express card to get the most out of the camera and Moment had exactly what I needed. Their customer service is fantastic and their shipping was fast and free, which is awesome
Jordan –
Ive had zero issues with any of my Sandisk 512GB CFexpress cards. Im shooting on a c500 mk II.They record and offload fairly quickly. Just wish I could get more GB for the money
FredT –
Purchased this for my new Canon mirrorless R5 camera. I am using it primarily for still photos and it has worked perfectly so far. It is extremely fast downloading and images are great.
Leelee –
Needed to get a extra card. Item was on sale. Great price.
Tom –
The good these are an exact fit for the earlier XQD cards and I saved 50 each on a promotion that BH was running at the time of purchase.The bad After upgrading my Nikon Z6 to the 3.0 firmware update, the cards recorded flawlessly. When I tried to download the images with my XQD card reader, my MacBook Pro didnt recognize them.The ugly It turns out that I had to buy a dedicated CFexpress card reader. Its an additional 100, and is back ordered until next month. I saved absolutely 0
Jonathan –
With the rise in higher end cameras, this CFExpress card has been a perfect match with my workflow of 4K8K video shooting, along with long bursts of photo shooting
Amanda –
The fastest and most efficient memory card option out there. Always worth the extra money especially as you begin using extremely high megapixel and high speed cameras…the R5 for example, demands it.
Anonymous –
Super fast worth the money a must have for Canon R5 and R6 strongly recommend
Adrian –
Theres a reason rental houses prefer SanDisk. These new cards do not disappoint
Happy –
Ive used Sandisk Extreme Pro cards in all of my camera for years. With my newest camera it uses the CFexpress cards so I went to Best Buy and found this one. It is extremely fast allowing to fully utilized my cameras buffer during burst mode.
Juyoung –
ProReally really fastConVery costly compared to sd cardNeed an extra adapter to connect with computerFor nikon, you need an xqd to update the firmware before using this cfexpress which delayed my usage for a week
Gregory –
Worked like a charm in my Canon R5. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of any noticeable lag when shooting at high FPS. Also had enough capacity to hold more than 4,000 CRAW .CR3 images from a weekend wedding on a single card.
Charles M. –
Rugged and very fast. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
Johann –
I purchased this item by accident. I depended on a customers review that had also previously purchased this item. This card is very fast, but does NOT work in the Nikon D850 The camera wont even format it. It is NOT a QXD card.
Zachariah –
Best high speed cards one could ask for for doing weddings and event shooting. Absolutely fantastic.
Kensey –
Product is super fast, arrived quickly. Glad I purchased for my Nikon z6 ii.
JoeMango –
Got this on a Black Friday sale. I use SanDisk cards almost exclusively, and got this at a great price.
TvPhoto –
So far, this card has been a workhorse for me with shooting both video and stills.
Felix –
Bought on black friday sale. Very expensive at regular price. I opted for these over XQD as CFExpress seems to be where camera tech is going. So far no problems in my z6ii. Will continue to use side by side normal UHSii cards as well.
Tony –
Ive never used another card brand for my main card. Sandisk has never let me down. This is my fifth Sandisk CFexpress Type B card. I like to keep the cards in the camera until theyre full.
James –
This card has kept up with the Canon R5 without lagging. The only issue is the heat build up when transferring files. File transfer is fast and it has great recording speed as well. Solid card all around.
Steven –
Works the way it should. Getting tired of buying all new sets of media cards every time I buy a new camera. I guess its just the photo biz.
Doug –
First time using CFExpress since I just bought an R5. Neat little formfactor not too big, not too small. Stupidly fast. Oh, and its fast.Using a Trebleet CFExpress reader via USBC I can manage sustained 380MBsec ingesting with USB 3.1. SSD of course can hold the speed but my photo HDD will naturally dip back down to the max write speed once the drives buffer is full. If I instead, connect to the USBC PCIe Bayimei AIC with a USBC Cable, itll ingest at 880MBsec. Clearly again, SSD territory or rather NVMe territory as a SATA SSD will be the limiting factor. Really fantastic for bringing HUGE files in from doing video work. So far, zero issues cardwise as Ive always shot on SanDisk.Has zero issue handing any high bitrates of the R5 in any mode. Can handle 1,300 RAWs in a burst easily before the R5s buffer fills. After one second it lets you shoot 80 more images, then have to wait a second, 80 more etc. After 3 seconds of waiting, the R5s pending buffer is fully written to the card.Gets pretty darned warm almost hot when inuse for awhile.Oh and… its fast. Expensive but if you do a lot of R5 video work and want to prolong the NAND lifecycle overall, go for it
Robert –
Works well with my Nikon D850. I did not buy a CFExpress reader so I load the photos directly from the camera. I think I may buy a card reader for it soon that will handle both my XQD and the CF cards as I use both. I think 64 GB is a good size since it stores plenty of pictures but lets me change to other cards without the large expense of the bigger capacity cards and without worrying about an entire shoot being on one card.
NICHOLAS –
Excellent card that arrived quickly. Working great with my EOS R5. Id consider the 512 version next.
CHRISTOPHER –
The cards performed great and are very reliable, especially while recording RAW video.
Mike –
Very fast card for my Nikon Z6 ii. Ive had SD cards fail me in the past so Im excited to have the more reliable CFexpress card option. Only time will tell if they are more reliable but the speed of transfer so far has been great.
Michael –
these are fast and no errors. Have had no problems with the 2 I purchased
Steven –
I recently updated the firmware on my Nikon D850 which allows use of the CFexpress card. I ran the card through the paces and it worked fine. I didnt conduct a side by side comparison between the XQD and CFexpress cards, but found the RW speed was excellent. It appeared the download speed on the CFexpress card is faster than the XQD when downloading to my PC…..again, that is only a qualitative assessment. Bottom line, Im very happy with the card and will definitely purchase CFexpress cards in the future vs. XQD.
Tina –
Nothing much to say other than I trust this brand for all my memory card needs and now that I have a Z6 II, this is the first time purchasing a CFexpress card.
th58pz700u –
To maximize the speed of the CFexpress interface, SanDisk requires you to also maximize the capacity. I trust SanDisk cards in all my cameras and nothing less than the fastest card would do when shooting 8k raw video.
Michelle –
This card bis the bomb My wife and I have 3 a piece. Piece of mind when you are on long trips
Mark –
First card over 64gb, wish they werent so expensive, but nice not having to use so many smaller cards
Howard –
Exactly what it claims to be. Well constructed and super fast transfer speeds.
Sean –
I bought this card to use w the Canon R5 and it has performed flawlessly. I have noticed little to no buffering shooting at 8 and 12 FPS.
Connor –
I bought one of these cards to use with my Canon EOS R5, and it records 8K RAW with virtually no lag. If that doesnt sell you on it, I dont know what else to say.
WALITA –
I was able to snap alot of photos on my Nikon z6 camera at a family bridal shower. Loved the read speed on this card
Tiatono –
Extremely fast card. You can barely notice a camera buffer with this cfexpress card, inserted. My only gripe, is the price. Its extremely expensive
Jerome –
The card seems to work. It records images and I can read them off the card. However, when the card is just sitting inserted in a card reader, it gets very hotalmost too hot to hold. Is this normal If so, perhaps this is why the Canon EOS R5 overheats.
Peter –
If your camera or device can use this card it should work great for you. It is very well built and it is very fast for reading and writing.
Akay –
If youre shooting with a canon R5, a CFExpress like this is a must. You cant shoot the 4K or 8K video without it
blimpcity –
Purchased along with Canon R5. CFExpress required for high frame rate 4K and 8K video capture. Card works as expected and very fast.
Curtis –
This card works well for still photography on my R5. I purchased it on sale too. I use my Sony Tough CFexpress 128GB card for videos as its a better card but costs more.
Steve –
This card is very fast, but it sure does get warm, both when shooting continuously,and when uploading images to the computer. Very warm to the touch. I have read this is normal, but, a heads up to all, as it is very noticeable.
Zachariah –
Some of the best cards for event photography and video shooting with my R5, would trust all my shoots to these.
Matt –
Using this in my Canon R5, and is super fast for photos. Not waiting on the buffer to clear during burst shooting. Holds roughly 1,000 RawJPG images.
Jon –
I ordered 4 of these and am using them in my D6 and D5 with updated firmware. They run a bit hot when moving a lot of data. I typically use Nikon Transfer to get images off the card to two Lacie portable hard drives one primary and the other backup. When using this method, the read rate is pedestrian, because the portable hard drives dont have that much band width. But if I download to my work station which has a MEGARaid SAS controller which has a 4 Gig cache, and 12 SATA drives set up as RAID 60, they zip off the card in a small fraction of the time. The basic take home lesson is that the speed of reading the card is going to be a function of the speed of the computer you are writing to. I use the Sony CFExpress BXQD card reader.
Joan –
Be sure to precisely match your cameras specifications for memory card type, especially with Nikon cameras. Using a card that is outside the range of specifications can potentially negatively impact performance.
Andre –
Very fast and reliable memory card, but too much expensive. Nowadays a memory card cannot cost that much.
Ray –
Excellent manufactured. BH make it even better for packing, shipping.
Zachariah –
Some of the best cards for event photography and video shooting with my R5, would trust all my shoots to these.
Kybe –
SanDIsk has been my go option for cards since I began shooting in 2015. Having changed to the Z6II it was only natural that I would keep it SanDisk.
Chad –
Running these in my Canon R5 shooting 8K and 4K 120, flawless operation.
Dale –
Just switched over from XQD cards in my D500 and D850. Fit is excellent and so far all is well
Jinghua –
This SanDisk 128GB CF B card works with a max speed of 1.2GBs, which is great for mirrorless camera. I can take a continuous shot of more than 10pictures.Works flawlessly. I rarely saw the camera is in buffering when taking continuous 10 high speed shots.
Matt –
This card is working well with the new EOS R5. SanDisk has always been a reliable brand for me and this card has worked flawlessly so far. The readwrite speeds are excellent
Joe –
I have used SanDksk for year without every having a card problem. If you are shooting the new Canon R5 I recumbent the 256 GB size.
David –
I trust the brand SanDisk. Throughout my 18 year history, Ive only had one card fail and Im confident that it was my fault. This CFexpress card is necessary for my new Canon R5. No complaints about speed or quality. However, 200 is a bit overpriced
Jay –
Not nearly as fast as expected. Was hoping for much more considering the cost of these memory cards.
William –
SanDisk compact flash cards have always worked well for me, so these CFExpress cards are just as reliable.
Scott –
Arrived on time and perfect condition from BH. Ive never been disappointed by this product. It works just like the others I own. No glitches at all.
Laurie –
I honestly do not know why this card needs to be priced so high. The recovery time is okay. Sandusky would sell more if they got the pricing more in line w red cards. I get the fit is special to the camera but the functionality and fundamentals are overall the same. images by LM
Fernando –
I had this on my wish list for the longest time and almost pulled the trigger when it was on sale for 179. Then recently on their mega sale it went down as low as 149 Glad I waited
Besim –
I tried to check all my CR3 images on my card, after 300400 images, it gave me an error, I lost about 100 image in 40005000 images. I hope it wont happen again. All my life I used only Sandisk. Never had any problem.
Max1030 –
Just purchased a Canon R5 and have been using an SDHC card only for the past 2 months hoping this newer card would come down in price. Couldnt resist any longer and paid and regrettably paid the exorbitant price. Using this card exclusively for images and have not noticed any increase in speed.
Daniel –
Great, increase from a 64GB XQD to the 128 CFexpress card. Did a photo shoot this weekend created 600 RAW photos, no problems.
Karl –
A big problem with the Nikon Z7 was that only XQD cards worked. They were very expensive. Along came CFexpress Type B cards at nearly the same price but much faster. Nikon upgraded the firmware so now both card types work. Ive had no problems with the CFexpress Type B in my Z7s.
Eric –
If your shooting 8k or 120fps on the Canon R5 you need a card. But if your shooting 4 k video or less Id recommend an Atomos recorder and SSD drives. You will spend about the same and gain a monitor and tons of features.
Tom –
Bought this as a back up to the same sized Sony Tough CFexpress card. The Sony failed twice during two different football games in the middle of the second quarter. No reply from Sony on email request on possible issues or replacement. This card has not been used long yet, but has not failed. I read some reviews that mentioned these are more reliable in canon cameras. Hope it is true
Aleksandar –
Works as expected and should be failsafe. I bought it for my Nikon Z7 one thing to note is the buffer does NOT clear faster. That is, Z7 is compatible with CF Express cards, but the speed will not exceed the one of the XQD due to camera slot limitations.
Ray –
I bought sandisk 512G cafe press card that was on sale from BH that in great deal in. Year. The card is reliable and fast.
Jude –
Seems durable. Fast readwrite for still photography more than is necessary.
Aaron –
My first CF Express card. I always get SanDisk Extreme PRO cards and this one seems as good as all the SD and CF ones Ive bought over the years.
Ray –
The quality is reliable, but the price is too high. That is not compatible with QXD except size and interface,
David –
Love it. Using with the R5 recording both RAW and JPEG. Still shoots very fast.
josh –
I guess the true test of any card will be longevity, but so far so good. Ive used nothing but SanDisk since I got into photography almost 20 years ago and have never had a card fail on me. Thats a big consideration since Im now shooting with a Z7 and dont have a backup card.That said, Ive always preferred having multiple smaller cards over fewer big ones. In the event one failed, I wouldnt lose as much. But from what I can tell, with CFexpress cards you need to get to bigger sizes to get the best performance.
John –
I use SanDisk memory cards in all of my camera bodies because I love equipment I can depend on and not give a second thought to. This 256GB Extreme Pro CFexpress card not only has great capacity, it also has a screamingly fast read rate of 1700 MBsecond Its a truly remarkable advance in memory cards. Its perfect for high frame rate captures with high megapixel bodies. Amazing
David –
The price is expensive but the speed is amazing I never had any problems with SanDisk memory cards.
Anonymous –
Have only recently begun using it SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB CFexpress TypeB Memory Card is a fast as advertised. Will know more in the months ahead.
GENO –
Works very well with my Canon EOS1DX Mark III. No lag time between multiple fast speed shooting and data upload.
Robert –
So far, this flash memory handles the Canon 1DX speed at least in short bursts. Images appear quickly with high resolution and accurate color rendition. It
Ursulita39 –
The reason Im giving only one star is because its size is absurdly bigger and I didnt realize it at the time of ordering. It doesnt have a clear sign for the inexperienced that it would fit neither in a regular camera nor in any kind of PC. I had to return it.
Anonymous –
This memory card is fast and trustworthy. Its enough even for the fastest camera.The memory card never losses time on buffering. So you never will get lost a frame.
Raymond –
San Disk has always been my go to memory card, always reliable.
Norman –
Seems reliable and is essential with the Canon 1DX lll. It is expensive, and so with the discount price it was a good purchase.
Stanley –
I havent stressed the card yet but so far it is fine. Ordering and delivery were easy and fast. Used it with Delkin reader.
J. Britt –
This card is the way to go for filming videos in the canon R5. It is extremely fast, Which is needed for filming 4K videos. This card has never failed me.
Geoffrey –
SanDisk has been my goto and only choice since a bad experience with a cheaper brand. Spend the money on SanDisk you wont regret it
Bill –
I dont know if the problem is this card or the Lexar card reader BH LECFERU31R MFR LRWCFXRBNA but this card gets SHOCKINGLY hot in just a few minutes while in the card reader, and it also becomes too hot to hold if I leave it in the card reader when the computer is OFF
Mark –
This card is ultrafast, solid and reliable. No need to fret the single card holder in the Z6. This card will not let you down.
Quang –
The card runs very hot and makes EOSR5 overheat faster when recording video. The card is faster than any SD card. But dont expect to get 1700MBs read. The real problem is that if you use it for a while it overheats and slows down. After copying about 350400GB it slows down to about 150MBs for the remainder of the transfer.
Douglas –
Ive always liked SanDisk cards for their reliability. Only had this for a short while, but it really is fast with my R5. I used it this past weekend shooting wildlife RAW with 45 megapixel files I got over 4000 shots on one card.
Steven –
I purchased this card a CF Express Delkin Card on the recommendation of a BH sales rep to go with my EOS R5. I thought High Speed 300 MBs SD cards were fast, but transferring files to my MacBook Pro with this card and reader is LIGHTENING FAST. I must qualify my review in that I only shoot stills, no video.
ExtremePro –
I bought this to use with the Canon R5 and it seems to work just fine. I have not had any problems.
Stan –
Purchased a new camera that required this type of media and decided to bite the bullet and go big. Lighting fast and awfully expensive. Records every video format Ive thrown at it including Canon Cinema RAW light without a hiccup.
Luke –
I believe these to be the best CF cards. Ive used both the original CF and CFexpress cards from SanDisk.
Julian –
I shoot still photos with my Canon EOS1D X Mark III. I usually save RAWHEIF and sometimes convert HEIF to JPEG incamera. 64GB seems to be plenty storage space for me. However, if you shoot video, you will need larger cards. In addition, I have yet to encounter a delay for highspeed continuous shooting.I keep copies of the files on three external hard drives. Thus, if I ever need more space than 64GB, I can always reformat the card and start with a clean slate again.
Michael –
Just bought two of these for my Nikon Z6. So far the performance his been terrific. Great suggestion by the guys at BH. Thanks.
Gary –
This may be a little small for 8K video files but is plenty big enough for saving RAW format photos.
Don –
Rugid, reliable, fast. Great value for the money.What else is there Not necessarily cheap, but none of them are.
Fred –
Very happy with the performance and reliability of these cards. Currently using them with my Canon 1DX III and R5 cameras. Highly recommended.
Bob –
Nikon recently revised the firmware for the D850. Needing new cards for this camera I noted that these were a bit less expensive than the Sony XQD equivalent. Function is flawless, download of images is quicker than with the XQD cards.
CameraCarl –
I needed a spare CF Express card to work with my new camera and Best Buy had it in stock. I could just walk in and buy it without needing to worry that there might be delivery problems. Best Buy matched Amazons price for this memory card which is really great. And the card works fine.
ibcenu –
Takes whatever the camera can shove into it without slowing down. This sucker flys
Robert –
This flash memory is lightning fast at least for the short highspeed bursts I have utilised so far.
TechGuySeattle –
Works great and is able to keep up with my cameras write speed during action shots.
John –
Ive long been a fan of the SanDisk Extreme PRO memory cards and this CFexpress card is the fastest Ive ever used by a long shot It both reads and writes at a blinding rate which is fabulous for capturing and downloading video and wildlife bursts. Combine that performance with the usual Extreme PRO bulletproof durability and it is, in my opinion, the best memory card yet.
MIKE –
This is a fast card that kept up with my new R5. I have no complaints and would recommend this card.
Richard –
While it is hard to write a review shortly after getting something, this card works great in my Nikons XQD slot. So far, I have not had any issues.
Brian –
Last these went on sale, the largest 512GB size was the best value per GB by far. That said, still not cheap…
Dmitry –
Questinable at Dec2019. On S1 and S1R connected to PC it is not fast as declared. But some time it was much FASTER than declared, with fantastic speed, after reconnection. Might be camerafirmware just not always recognize it at full speed, but the same results on two different computers. I think it will be fixed in firmware.In general I highly recommend it over XQD same price, 3x5x speed. On S1 in RAW its about 60 seconds continuos shooting and just couple seconds to free up buffer. Literally almost infinite RAW continuous shooting On S1R not big difference compared to XQD, that surprising.Five seconds in RAW and few seconds to dump buffer
Pete –
Fast storage for the new canon r5 camera, and able to store a lot of pictures. However needed to purchase a reader for the new format.
Pat –
I like the speed that these cards write to…. I ordered another one to have on hand as I plan to get another Z camera.
Christopher –
Ive had several of the Extreme PRO CFExpress cards for some time now. Ive never had any issues and the reliability is second to none. I wouldnt trust my images to any other manufacturer.
Robert J. –
Works as expected, but it does get warm in use. Hopefully this is of no consequence…
Leah Beth –
I got a great price on BH and knew I would need this for the R5 I have ordered. I have many other SanDisk and know this will work as flawlessly as all the others
Dennis –
I love this card, it just keeps on writing on my Canon R5. Highly recommended as no problems experienced unlike some other people. I tend to buy these things through B H as I have found their products to be genuine and not knock offs that may feature from some other suppliers. Its a bit expensive, but what will it cost to have to reshoot something like a wedding because of a card failure both in time and reputation.
Ryan –
I picked this card up to use in my Nikon D850 to have faster write speeds when I do sports or wildlife photography. The D850 was designed for XQD cards, but can support CFexpress with the latest firmware update. This was the Goldilocks card as my options were to spend the same for a slower and now obsolete XQD card or spend twice as much for a faster CFexpress card that my D850 could not fully utilize. I am very happy with the write speed as it clears the buffer very quick and I can get around a 30 raw image burst before the camera slows, when it does slow it takes maybe 23 seconds to clear. Compared to my SD where I would get around 20 images and require around 10 seconds to clear. I am super happy with this card, but as noted its a transitional card. When I eventually upgrade the camera body and the prices of faster cards drop this card will most likely become a backup card.
Victor –
Very fast. Works great. But I wish the price of cfexpress cards would drop.
Jessica –
Product came quickly and was packaged well Thats Always a concern I have one ordering some thing electronic. But they use bubble wrap and it made it safely to me. I still need to use this product, but it looks just as it says it would online
Rodney –
Ive only used this card for a few weeks but have been recording to SanDisk cards for several years. No problems so far and I dont expect any.
Bruce –
The card is super fast in reading and writing. It works great with my Nikon Z6II.
David –
Such and improvement over SD cards that have gradually worn and become unusable.
Lando –
Great speed high capacity memory card that seems to be built to very high standards. Works great for me, highly recommend.
Jim –
My go to brand for memory cards. I have always used SanDisk cards for all my needs and have found them nothing short of fantastic
Andy –
Card works well. But, I have a 34 ur old Sony XQD card reader. The older ones are not compatible with this format. Make sure your card reader will work.
WayneD –
So so fast Ive always enjoyed using SanDisk card. This works perfectly in my Canon R5
Anonymous –
Extremely fast and love the durability even over CF cards. I would NEVER trust a clients wedding on any type of SD card. I am using eight pairs of these on my new 1Dx mk3 and they are beyond fast for dumping the files to my workstation.I am typically a Lexar Professional guy but their cards havent released yet.
Albert –
Superfast transfer speeds and great in camera performance. No issues at all. SanDisk always performs for me.
Carl –
Possibly my fault for not doing enough research, but very surprised that this card isnt quite fast enough for 8k video on the R5. I skipped the 64gb card because the write speed on it is clearly very average 800 MBs, but didnt realise only the very expensive 512gb card from Sandisk is fast enough.Sandisk is not the only one. You have to buy a similarly expensive cobalt card from Prograde for the R5 for the same reason.Sony, however, are offering a 128gb card that is fast enough for less money than the Sandisk 219 compared with 249 sticker price for the Sandisk. I have always bought Sandisk cards, but Id recommend the Sony for R5 buyers until Sandisk sorts their write speed issues out.
Subhankar –
Works as intended. I am getting 350mbps read and write speeds on my desktop. I tried connecting it through the USB 3.1 port and the USB C port. I tested the transfer speeds on my 2015 MacBook pro as well and the same results.Im using the Prograde CF Express card reader.The only concern I have is that the card gets pretty hot when it is in the card reader transferring to the computer.I did buy a Prograde 128gb and a Lexar 128gb earlier.I got 140mbps write speed and about 300mbps read speeds on the Prograde card while transferring files.I got 350mbps on read and write on the Lexar.Both the Lexar and Prograde was less hot when on the card reader.
Douglas –
Very good card. This was the first CF express card I owned. It does get warmer than any other cards I have used to date.
Jared –
This is a fast and great card, but be forwarned. It is HOT. You will notice that it heats up in your camera. I suppose that is the nature of the beast, but if you camera has heat problems to begin with, you are going to add to them with this card.
Isaac –
Super fast, even when readingwriting RAW and JPEGS simultaneously. However, this card heats up a lot.When you use your card reader to load into your computer make sure to take the card out of the reader it gets hot if you leave it in.
Bob –
Used the 1 Seller ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B UHSII SDXC DualSlot USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card Reader with my SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Type B for the first time last night. Transfered about twenty 45mb files so fast I almost couldnt believe it After the transfer I left the card in the reader that was still attached to my MacBook Pro for about 20 minutes or so while I imported and viewed my files in Lightroom. When I finally took the card out of the reader the card was extremely hot to the point that I thought I could have burned my fingers. I had to wait about 45minutes until the card cooled down before I attempted to put it back into my camera. To be fair I am not sure if its the fault of the reader or the card but I have never experienced a CF or an SD card ever getting hot after leaving it connected to my computer.
Robert –
Ive only used this card for three weeks in my Nikon Z7II, and Im very impressed. The write speed, even when shooting 4K video, is excellent. Highly recommended.
Jacob –
Card is the newer version of 128GB running new microcode firmware. CrystalMark utility running on a PC with card connected via reader was showing faster read and write speeds compared to older ANCIN version.
Dennis –
It probably is a very good card but it cannot be read in a Sony MRQE90 card reader. Unable to find a solution so I will just order a Sony XQD card.
Oscarville –
This memory card is pretty fast the only drawback is extremely expensive for what it is. A device this small should not cost that much for what it does just to save some space and because of speed makes no sense. The only reason Ive kept this is because theres nothing cheaper with this amount of space and to pay for it in monthly installments that is ridiculous.
Elinor –
The SanDisk card is working fine now. It was overheating when the card reader was plugged directly into the computer. But plugged into the hub, it is not overheating.
Wonderful –
Super fast card that so far has been reliable and in my opinion a great purchase l. ThAnks Best Buy got the last one in stock
William –
Yes, this is the real deal. Been using it for 3 weeks not even a hiccup. I will buy more in the future.
RSS101 –
works as intended. Build quality is solid. I have been an Sandisk user for many years so I trust the product. Will be adding more cards to my kit.
Vinceniado –
First time owning the sandisk brand. No issue so far. Best bang for the buck.
HOMER –
Worked as expected. Reliable so far with no issues shooting with a 20fps high resolution camera.
CFREE –
Used it on a two week trip. I took thousands of raw and jpg photos. I had no worries of running out of space.Super fast transfer rate.
bizjo –
This is a very fast card. works great in my new EOS R5 but it get hot during heavy write flow. I recommend it.
SamMN –
Amazingly fast card. Paired it with the sandisk extreme pro 300mbs SD card, and have not had an issue writing to both cards for extremely long bursts. I recommend both.
Joseph –
I have several of these and several of the Sony Tough cards for my R5. They are reliable and fast I would prefer Canon make their cameras to take 2 CF cards or 2 CF Express Cards instead of an SD card as the second slot, so I dont have to sacrifice speed and burstduration to have a backup of every shot. Lexar used to be King, but the company sold the Lexar brandline of SD, CF, and CF Express cards and the ones Ive purchased or seen test results for since the sale just arent as fast as the presale cards or competitors cards.

Great quality memory card. I photograph and video with a Canon R5 and you need a card like this to really maximize the potential of the camera. Worth the money for the quality.
Aubrey –
Worth it to purchase for the EOS R5 even if just stills on silent continuous. Reads quicker than an SD.
JoeS –
Great card. A little pricey, but this is the one you want.
Scott –
The speed of this thing is insane. Getting 8k raw and 120fps without problems.
john –
Have recorded 8k raw and 4k 120 with no problems. Been using this card for the past month and a half and have had no issues. Bought it exactly for this reason SanDisk quality
Max –
I purchased two cards for both of my Canon R5s. These cards are fast for reading and writing data.
Aaron –
This card is super fast with read and write speeds that keep up with the large files of my D850. I have never had an issue with Sansdisk, so no hesitation on my part to purchase. Exceptional card and worth it to me.
Speedbrds –
Bought a mirrorless camera not knowing what I got myself into. After spending 2100 for the camera, I find these cards cost hundreds. Thats on me. The product itself is perfectly fine.
Kelvin –
Bought this memory card to go with my Canon R5 and just in time there was a sale at that time.
Alexander –
Hi,The item is received on time and in good condition.Cards works well with speed on my Nikon Z7 on latest camera firmware 3.1.Downloading of images in Lightroom 9.2 is fast through the Sony CF express B XQD card reader Model MRWG1 on the Mac OSX High Sierra.
Brad –
Bought for the new Canon R5 and it works amazing. I would expect nothing less from SanDisk though.
Dean –
I have only had the card a short time. It has performed well when using the Canon 5 R camera. I was shooting Great Blue Herons in flight and the card never failed and kept up with the high FPS shooting.
Robert –
These cards are simply reliable. I have never had a bad one shipped to me and I have never had one fail. I wont buy any other brand.
Timothy –
I mean, it is expensive but I need it for my Canon R5. It hasnt let me down yet but I also havent tried to shoot 8k RAW nor will I as it would melt my computer anyways.
TommyT –
Speed is nice. Very happy with the SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO CFexpress.
Douglas –
Headline says it all. Works perfectly in my Canon EOS R5. Had to buy a new card reader for it, but thats progress…..
Andrew –
Good cards are not cheap, but neither is my work. I want it protected and I want no card failures. This card meets that need. I shoot to 2 cards and I format the 64GB card for each event, and allow retention of several events on the 128 GB card before it is formatted. This works for me, and SanDisk has not failed me as another brand has.
Wesley –
Impressive how fast this saves video and bursts on larger MB files of newer cameras. In the past SanDisk has been durable and lasts… hoping for the same.
Dennis –
Highly recommend Sandisk memory cards. They are very reliable and I cant fault them. The only issue is the price, however, you do get what you pay for and people who have purchased cheaper other brand cards have experienced difficulties and errors. They do run a little hot, but it is expected given the speed that they run at. Using a Sandisk card reader has also helped.
John –
So far it has been working well. Have had some issues with other brand cards. My first encounter with memory cards failing. Thought I would try a different brand. Good so far.
Gerald –
Good card for photo, didnt realize it wasnt supported for canon r5 8k raw of 4k 120p. So this one I use for photos and get other supported card from bh for video.
Darl –
I have used SanDisk cards for all of my Canon cameras since the Canon 1D. This card can keep up with the fast shooting Canon 1DX Mk III. The reader is extremely fast also.
Anonymous –
Only had it a week.Never had a San Disk SD card fail. Hope this survives as well.
Geoffrey –
Years ago I tried to save money on CF cards only to have one trip saved on a corrupt card. What a waste. Nothing recoverable. Im SanDisk ONLY now. Reliable cards.
Alan –
Pros Very fast, 20 fps easily obtained.Solid structure, no pins to bendCons Gets rather hot with extended useRather expensive
Johnathan R –
I purchased this card for my Canon R5 thinking 256GB would be overkill but its almost not enough. With the Fast Shutter Speeds and 45 MP photos it will fill up storage on your card fairly quickly. Youd have to switch between high speed continuous and single shot frequently risk missing the bird flying away. This is the minimum size Id recommend. I noticed that the card does heat up when using a card reader its almost too hot to touch. SanDisk has always had quality products so far Ive never had a card fail.
Jason –
I recently got an R5 and used an SD card for the first few days. I have always used CF cards and shyed away from SD due to how frail they felt. CF cards were very sturdy and had lower failure rates. When I saw that the R5 used SD and CFexpress I knew I had to bite the bullet and invest in some cards…I decided to start small and got the 64GB card. Card feels very sturdy. The only gripe besides the price is how hot these cards get when transferring images via CF express readers. I am reading that is a common issue…so be sure to get readers that have metal housing.
Tomm –
Sandisk is just the best memory cards that I have used. Great quality and speed and definitely recomend them.
Allen –
So far, very good card.People say you can not hit the buffer on the new Canon R5, not true.The Sandisk hits the buffer less than my Hoodman card of the same size, regardless of what each says the speed ratings are, this card hits the buffer lessThese cards get hot in the card reader, so eject them as SOON as you finish downloading or importing your files
Susan –
I have been pleased with card it is fast and holds more photos than my prior card. Just what I needed
JamesSellsHomes –
Picked this up for my Sony camera. writes fast, hardly any time wasted waiting for pictures to write.
Louis –
I bought this card to be used with my Canon 1DX Mark III. So far, I have taken over 5,000 pictures and saved them to this card without a hint of a problem. I have also recorded several 4K videos to this card without any problem. Downloading the imagesvideos to my desktop is not real speedy, but thats not the disks fault. I need to upgrade my disk reader and computer to get better speeds. Bottom Line This disk, along with the 64GB disk that came with the camera, will be more than sufficient for right now. Its worth the money
Dennis –
I was very impressed with these new cards. Cant wait for the price to come down, but at this point, I have yet with the 1DX Mark lll to come close to filling them up. Love the super fast readwrite speeds. No hiccups at all so far.
Zachariah –
Best high speed cards one could ask for for doing weddings and event shooting. Absolutely fantastic.
Citrus5 –
The price was pretty high. It was not what I planned to spend. Luckily for me the Cashier assisted me to the correct one. He was helpful. Otherwise I would have walked out of the store without purchasing anything. My hero.Dont get me wrong. It is a good brand. Just not want was required at the time.
James –
Although Ive not yet received this card in the mail I have used a great many SanDisk cards over the many years and never had a single problem.
Robert –
I have two R5s. In one I use a SanDisk in the other I use a Sony. They are set identically. The one with the San Disk shows the high speed indicator in a different color, and it seems to shoot at a somewhat slower rate per second than the one which has the Sony card. I have been unable to find literature addressing the issue of the difference in LED read out colors. I have had no problem with the SanDisk card recording images or downloading them onto my computer although the cards do get warm.I have read reports indicting problems with cards of this type, other than the Sonys, by other reviewers. Given the apparent difference in performance in my cameras, I have elected not to purchase more of this type of card form SanDisk, even though I am unsure that mine is defective.
Christopher –
The price was attractive, so once I determined that the CFExpress card will work in my Z6, I bought this card. What I failed to consider and subsequently learned is that my XQD card reader wont read this card, so I now need a new reader, too. Obviously that doesnt speak to the card, per se. I bought this card based on my longtime satisfaction with SanDisk memory cards, and the atthetime attractive sale price.
Christian –
Using in c300 mkiii for 120 FPS 4K. It works Wish it were a little cheaper. If you want to see our C300 mk3 120fps 4k footage we shot on this card check out Film Jams on YouTube
shambhu –
This is my first CFxpress card, I dont have another card to compare with but if I am not wrong I felt this card becomes way hot when you use it with R5.
Elizabeth –
Have never had an issue with SanDisk memory cards over many years and so far teh CFexpress card Type B performs as expected. Definitely faster than what I am used to and compatible with my Z6. Happy to date.
Daniel A –
Works flawlessly with the my new Nikon Z6II. The versatility with dual cards in the camera make for a far superior user experience than in my old D70 Dan in SC.
Laca –
Great quality card, and works great in my Nikon D850. One of the hardest items ever to get open, very well sealed.
Lyman –
Nice CFExpress card. I have always trusted Sandisk and they have not let me down.
Turboturtle –
Works Well in my Canon R5 camera. Writes fast and have had no issues with the card. Thinking of buying another one as backup
FLNativeGirl –
Daughter is a professional wedding photographer. Needed this for her camera. Loads much more quickly.
Trevor H –
Yes it is slower than the 128 GB card but it is a lot cheaper. One day I will upgrade to 128GB or bigger but until then this nice card will get a lot of use.
