Memory Card: Lexar sets a new record at 510 MB / s

Lexar launches a CompactFlash memory card outperforms many SSD format.







 New Memory Card for the record. Lexar – a subsidiary of leading flash memory manufacturers worldwide, Micron – takes the ascendancy over its eternal rival SanDisk. He launched a new card called Lexar Professional 3400X, based on the CFast 2.0 specification and claims a transfer rate of sequential read 510 MB / s. This standard was ratified in 2012, which will follow the format of the CompactFlash but abandons the interface FDI in favor of Serial ATA 3 achieves 600 MB / s.


Memory Card: Lexar sets a new record at 510 MB / s


 It is SanDisk who held the previous record, since September 2013; with CFast 2.0 promising 450 and 350 MB / s read and write.


 Lexar unfortunately not specify the write speed, it only admits that “writing speed is lower.” The new card is yet destined to professional videographers or filmmakers, allowing filming in 4K with intermediate codecs little compressed (such as Apple ProRes), or even in RAW without color subsampling (4: 4: 4 ) and / or high frame rate (HFR slowed to 120 i / s or more …). Better standard of fault, film cameras operated until recently SSD storage solutions more costly owners.


 However any consumer product, even the most high-end, will support the CFast 2.0. They did also not need the best cards SD UHS-II can cash Ultra HD video at very high speed and gusts of high definition pictures RAW.


 Memory Card Lexar Professional 3400X CFast 2.0 is available now. Sale prices are 180 euros for 32 GB, 360 euros for 64 GB, 660 GB for 128 euros and 100 euros for … 1 256 GB! The card comes with a lifetime warranty and Rescue Image recovery software. Finally, for the record, multiple of “x” Lexar always match the playback speed of the CD-Rom, where 1x is the speed for playing a real-time audio CD, that is to say 150 kb / s.
