Wise Advanced 512GB CFexpress Type B Reviews

Amazing quality

By Andy
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-09

Although Wise is not as well known as some of the big names out there for memory cards (you know the ones), I've found their products to be consistently higher quality and better value -- not to mention many of the other big brands are made in China, whereas Wise is not. That is an important factor for me, as I feel that as a consumer it is incumbent on me to be aware of where things are being made, and what my money is going to end up supporting. Props to B&H for carrying this product, as I found it difficult to find memory cards that are not made in China in other online & physical stores. While it's too early to comment on durability, the difference in build quality between this card and some of the other cards I own is immediately apparent right out of the box. I've already put thousands of photos and videos since purchasing this card, with no issue. It is also far faster (both reading and writing) than the other cards I own, which was the main reason I purchased this card.

WISE cards and reader

Cards do the job, no problems. Reader is sketchy.

Inexpensive, Slow in Z9

By Evan

Date: 2022-06-08

Tested in my Nikon Z9 upon arrival. Half-ish the effective throughput in camera compared to Delkin 128GB. Good price for the size, but not suitable for high-speed work. I would keep them for landscape or portrait work but I don't like to maintain different cards for different purposes.

Wow, this card is amazing

Wow, this card is amazing and works exactly as described. I'm using the Z9 and can hold the shutter button down at 20 frames a second indefinitely. Well longer than what I need anyway. Very pleased with the purchase.

Fast cards have changed how I shoot

By Tristyn

There isn't a lot to say about storage--it's storage. You know what you need, and you know to buy it from B&H. However, I wasn't expecting how much easier life got with faster speeds! I would clear my R5's buffer (46 photos) in around a minute on a UHS-II SD card (SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB, which I love and highly recommend, by the way). Now, I clear 16 photos INSTANTLY, and the other 30 clear in around 8-10 seconds. If you need to shoot a lot, fast, or if you need to record 4k120p or 8k video, these cards are a great deal and hold up well under stress.

Great deal at 50% off. Good storage for 4K and 8K video.

Don't buy this card

Date: 2022-12-27

I purchased this card at B&H and I feel sorry I did not read any reviews before hand. Instead I listened to one of the Youtube KOLs who called himself the Nikon Guy, declaring this card the fastest for Nikon Z9. Yes, it is fast, the fastest, in fact, to quit working totally and I have been trying to find their customer service but no luck. Please don't waste your money.

Asked by: LAM BOR
You do not have to use a Wise card reader with the Wise Advanced 512GB CFX-B Series CFexpress Type B Memory Card. You could use a card reader from another brand, like the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B & UHS-II SDXC Dual-Slot USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card Reader, B&H # PRRWCFXSDANA.

Does this work with the Nikon D800 and the Nikon D3?
Asked by: Paul
No. The D800 and D3 have CF card slots, not CFexpress. The D800 also takes SD cards, but that is also not the same physical size as the CFExpress and will not fit these cards. This is only for newer cameras that take CFExpress cards (or certain cameras with XQD card slots that can be firmware updated to take them).
