I don't find the speed of a card in a card reader to be very interesting. I often shoot thousands of images a day but I don't find the time to download them to be an issue. Download time is insignificant compared to the time required to cull them.
I would like to see how well these cards perform in a camera. Unfortunately there are no cameras that can take advantage of the PCIe-4 lane. Maybe the A1II will (I assume it will), but we won't know for a while. Once the A1II is available the question will be does the memory card or the camera limit the capture performance. Once we get the camera we can make the measurements.
You're not under a deadline. We shoot about 20k images in 3.5 days non stop both me and my assistant. I need to process them fast load up to smug mug not mention to produce a convention. I have zero time to even get a cup of coffee . For me it's all about speed . I not only do almost everything but every event goes to Bridge first and renamed to whatever I need like NY 24 Swimwear 0001 to whatever than I import them than it does not stop. Speed is everything for me. I can't go walk away and drink a cup of coffee and BS with folks. I shoot a night event guess who is up after hours processing this stuff. ME so for Pro work many of us are under hard deadlines and any edge you get results in more sleep and free time.
So topics like this are important to some of us. Many times im still at the event with my laptop to deliver on the spot to clients with clients tapping there feet because they want to go home too.
If I do the math correctly are these not twice as fast as Type A.
