IP68 waterproof

Unlike traditional PCBA circuit boards, we use COB encapsulation process to encapsulate all wafers and wires into a single unit, ensuring the IC chip is not exposed. This enhances impact resistance, dust resistance, and IP68 waterproof performance, while protecting data in harsh conditions.

Note ③: Because PCle3.0x1 and USB3.1GEN2 card readers are limited by the interface bandwidth, the test results of different capacity memory cards are the upper limit of the bandwidth, so we will not do more tests, the upper limit of the speed of the different interfaces are about.
USB 2.0= 40MB/S
USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 GEN1/USB3.2 GEN1= 400MB/S
USB 3.1 GEN2 /USB 3.2 GEN2= 800MB/S
Note④: Gold Edition CFA4.0 has some SLC CACHE capacity in order to meet the VPG400 certification requirements, and is expected to slow down the full disk speed to 750MB/s for writing and 1750MB/s for reading.
(In order to meet the VPG certification of extreme high and low temperature reliability 256G, 512G, 1T slow outside the full disk are 750MB/S)

Scheda capiente e veloce, testata su Nikon Z6

Ottima scheda, la capacità è sufficiente per una giornata di lavoro anche con la Z6 che ha un solo slot. Naturalmente compatibile 100% e velocità che eccede la capacità della mia fotocamera.

Buying memory cards from unknown brands

Being someone who trusts nothing from brands I haven't heard about, the first thing I did after buying 2 of the 1 TB CFExpress type a cards was to verify the capacity, both cards passed without problems.
The advertised read speed of up to 1750 MB/s wasn't something I saw, for me it peaked at around 1000 MB/s, and dropped to about 750 MB/s and stayed stable at that speed.
However, even that speed is faster than the Lexar Gold card I have been using up till now, that card only reaches 600 MB/s and stays at that speed.
I'm not using both cards in my Sony A7R 5, without any immediate problems, I'm still a little paranoid and therefore using them in the configuration that writes to both cards at once in case one of them dies.

Calidad precio buena

La terminaci¨?n de la tarjeta es muy pro y sus velocidades de lectura y escritura son brutales de buenas.

Pleasantly Surprised by this Memory Card

This is a really positive review because the CHIPFANCIER memory card exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the high-speed performance - fantastic for both videographers and photographers. Plus, the Lifetime Warranty gives me peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product!
