Professionals rely on high-speed CompactFlash cards. Today we're looking at a handful of different options from Lexar, Samsung, SanDisk, Silicon Power, and Transcend with capacities up to 64GB and speeds up to 600x (as high as 90 MB/s)
Transcend Extreme Plus 600x (8GB, 16GB)
Transcend sent us two cards from its Extreme Plus 600x series: one 8GB and one 16GB.
We found that the 16GB version delivered better throughput (roughly 11 MB/s maximum difference) and was the second best in our sequential read test. The performance difference between the two cards was smaller on sequential writes.
Both deliver average I/O performance results, as they were clearly optimized for maximum throughput rather than I/O capabilities.
Transcend provides a lifetime or 30-year warranty. All other product information from Transcend is rather general.
