    Working great so far with R5 shooting 4k 120. Also no issues with buffer shooting 20fps raw (compressed) stills. Great card for the price point.

    First CFexpress card I own and it seems like the speeds are decent from a Sabrent CFexpress Type B Card Reader. I don't see the advertised speeds but I'm hoping that the camera (GH6) actually writes faster that what these speed tests show. I haven't recorded at length yet but so far no issues recording 4k ProRes files.

    Love these cards!

    Love these cards so much - I bought them twice. Great with my Canon R5 and I will use it as an extra backup.

    Performs well on Nikon Z7 II

    This card has met my expectations and needs. I am able to image two raw files per second on my Nikon Z7 II for several minutes without any slow downs. I can image three raw files per second for about 37 seconds before the system slows down. Download speeds from the card in the camera to my PC is fast enough for my needs to not need a card reader.

    Asked by: George
    This card works with the Nikon Z9 up to 8K NRaw 30 p. But not 8K NRaw 60 p in my tests. (I just received the card). All other high data/frame rates work. It's not a big deal for me, because I never shoot 8K 60 p NRAW.

    Canon R5 8K RAW? Supported?
    Asked by: Oleg
    OWC rates the (blue label) CF Express Pro 512 GB card for up to 6K video maximum in the R5 according to OWC's published specifications. For a R5 recording at 8K they ONLY recommend the (violet label) CF Express Ultra Cfx 256 GB or larger card and NOT the CF Express Pro. The more expensive "Ultra" cards provide a SUSTAINED write rate fully 3X faster than the "Pro" cards!

    Asked by: Jo
    The OWC 128GB Atlas Pro CFexpress Type B Memory Card is just that, a CFexpress card. Since the Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM can only take the very similar but not the same XQD card, it cannot use any CFexpress Type B card.
