Main problem with Chinese products is a lot of the times especially SD cards they are not real but stamped with SanDisk or Lexar and others in them. That is the issue I have run into in the past. Not a political or anything else comment just what I have seen over the years. I’m very sensitive about cards. For Pros your jobs are sitting on them.

I have no hesitation buying a Sony card or other brand name card that are made in China. But I won't buy a Chinese brand card and I am Chinese by descent.

you're one of those types of chinese

used the pergear CF-B for a long time, always reliable. Sony by default, is slightly less reliable, even sony cam + sony card, I can get a lockup writing video from time to time. Luckily never a crucial moment, but when it locks while writing, you're screwed and lose the files.

I work in electronics, I agree that a lot of Chinese made electronics used to have a lot of QC issues years ago but things have improved now. Even though a lot of electronic products may be designed in other countries a huge amount of the manufacturing is in China

I think Angelbird is Austrian, but I assume the actual flash cards are manufactured in China. I think Pergear is a Chinese company.

Thank you. End of the day no one can escape Chinese manufacturing

. Anyway looks like pergear cards has no complaints so far. I can get 520gb cards for $287 (free shipping) from their site. Tempted!

Just reporting in that after almost 3 months using their Pergear 520 I’ve had no issues. Card has been flawless. Just wish this card had been available a year earlier when I wasted money on the overpriced Prograde cards.
