Thanks for the info. I'll check on the prices for the rose-colored version in Canada. (edit...$249CAD vs $200CAD for Angelbird). What I can't figure is the sustained speed of the 512GB. The description says sustained of 1300MB/s for the 1TB/2TB but no spec for the 512GB.
If you have time would you be able to put it in 20FPS, Lossless Compressed and see if it makes it to ~80 shots before it slows to ~15FPS? If it can, then it is performing as good as any card does for stills in Z9/Z8. Best to turn on shutter sound so you can hear the drop to 15FPS as it isn't always obvious as it doesn't really stall out.
On the AB card in the Amazon picture I saw, I believe it lists the speed at 1785 -- which of course is meaningless. By comparison, the picture of the Sabrent shows 1800 -- again meaningless, other than it is advertised as being a little faster, which again is more than likely meaningless IMHO... We need a test facility comparison to be sure how it ranks. For me, end of day tests like that don't matter if it works fine for me and my uses. In fact the Sony tough worked fine for me for my purposes -- transferring several hundred raws, I may now save a minute or two -- which in the scheme of things for me is... meaningless  !
I will try a sustained burst later today and let you know. I shoot raw-lossles CFx 1 + large-fine jpeg CFx 2.
