p.3 #1 · Sandisk CF cards not UDMA 7

I have a lot of the latest CF cards from Transcend and Lexar. Their 400x cards are nearly exactly the same in peformance/speed. But the Transcend cost less. Comparing their 600x cards, the Transcend cards are a bit faster for a lower price. The 1000x cards I have not compared because the Transcend 1000x cards where just released and are not in the shops yet.

I expect fully to see new faster cards from Sandisk at photoexpo.

They have not had a product refresh in some time. They were the leader a few years ago. I think their growth has hurt them.

and they didn't really have anything to show at the show. i discussed the XQD/CFast issue and they said both Canon and Phase One were willing to commit to it. and the children at Nikon said they have heard nothing from the head office on direction for their rudderless ship on the subject. i see much potential stupidity ahead in the format realm.

Meanwhile it's difficult to buy any cards not urgently needed. I don't want to be sitting on a ton of the latest flash memory versions of Betamax or HD disc, etc.

I can see that Lexar has come out with new 800x CF cards also. So now they have 400x--800x--1000x cards

again the magic asterisk appears and sends us to the small print

*Minimum 120MB/s read transfer, write speeds lower. Speeds based on TestMetrix certified tester. Actual sustained speed may vary depending on host device.

**When paired with a UDMA 7 enabled reader, sold separately.

I would guess they replaced their older 600x cards with these 800x. And I would belive they are rather fast (have not used them so I don't know) But even their new 400x cards are rather fast.
But Amazon have about the same price on the 1000x and 800x

To update this old thread; B+H are now selling Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB UDMA7 CF cards with a note that the box may state UDMA6.
I doubt these are faster than UDMA6 in most cameras but they clearly have an updated interface. Bizarre that a premium company like Sandisk should get their packaging wrong but it appears to be the case.

Thanks for the update,
I'm sure they are a lot faster than their old cards. Both Lexar and Transcend where a lot faster when they upgraded to UDMA 7.

p.3 #11 · Sandisk CF cards not UDMA 7

This thread is nearly half a year old. So if Sandisk still uses their old UDMA 6 for their latest UDMA 7 cards it's incredible bad (IMO) What do they save when doing that? 5 cents on that Chinese box or? And what's that when selling their most expensive memory cards that cost a lot. And are they that stupid that they produce ten times as many UDMA 6 boxes than they have UDMA 6 cards?
