14 DAY TRIAL // CompactFlash cards are the memory cards with the largest capacity and also the ones with the best transfer speed potential, with few exceptions. The new ones from Transcend show this.
Called Premium Series 800x, the new collection is composed of 64 GB to 256 GB models with prices of $179 / €179 to $699 / €699.
The best should attain 120 MB/s read speed and 60 MB/s write speed, and minimum write speed of 20MB/s without dropping frames during Full HD video recording.
What's more, their MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory chips boast built-in BCH ECC (Error Correction Code) technology with read-retry (detects and corrects errors during data transfer).
Advanced camcorders and DSLR cameras will benefit from the newcomer the most, especially in continuous burst photography mode and shooting film in Full HD or even 3D.
