Delkin Devices, Inc. has released the world’s fastest 16GB UDMA CompactFlash PRO card.
The CompactFlash Card boosts the capability of a 305x read/write speed (45MB/sec sustained).This is partly due to the fact that the CF card uses high grade SLC NAND flash modules, which allows the aforementioned large data transfer rates.
Best suited for the Canon 1Ds Mark III or D300 and D3x from Nikon,nonetheless it also works with non-UDMA shooters.
Additionally the card-to-computer transfer times are touted to be very low, especially when the card is used with the company’s UDMA enabled ExpressCard and CardBus adapters.
In conclusion the Compact Flash PRO 305x 16 GB seems to be well equipped to provide both very large data transfer speeds, as well as a storage capacity to match.
The 16GB UDMA CompactFlash PRO card is now available worldwide for $400.
