Great performers

I bought 4 of the first version of these CF-A cards and used them for some heavy shooting over most of 2024. There was never a problem. I like the 512GB size too, not too big, but can shoot for a day. When the faster cards came out I bought another 4. When I'm on the road for weeks at a time I don't like to write over my used cards.

Is A9 III capable of using these higher Read/Write speeds ?
Asked by: Gokul Krishna
So in short, the buffering time will be reduced in A 9 III if am using this card compared to the lower read/write model cards ? I click a lot of birds and presently buffering while shooting 120 fps along with pre-capture is troubling me. I want to make sure that A9 III is capable of using these speeds to reduce the buffering before I buy it.
