SanDisk Extreme Ducati CompactFlash Card Offers ‘Highest Performance’ in Independent Review of Pro-Level (Cannon/Nikon) DSLR Cameras

Tweet

Those of you who own pro-level DSLR cameras may be interested in a report conducted by an independent researcher by the name of Rob Galbraith which has confirmed that not only do SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash and SD cards offer considerable performance gains over competing memory cards but that SanDisk’s Extreme Ducati CompactFlash Card offers the highest rated performance when it comes to write times for both RAW and JPEG images.

According to SanDisk’s press release, Galbraith tested multiple brands, models and capacities of memory cards with each camera to determine the fastest write times. He measured speeds involving both JPEG and RAW images and, in six camera models that use CompactFlash cards, the SanDisk Extreme Ducati CompactFlash Card took the top honors. Named after Ducati Corse, the Italian manufacturer of high-performance motorcycles, the SanDisk Ducati line was introduced last summer and is the fastest CompactFlash card that SanDisk produces.

‘These results from a prestigious independent imaging lab not only validate SanDisk’s Extreme cards as the best performing memory cards, but also clearly demonstrate that there are measurable speed differences between brands,’ said Susan Park, director of consumer product marketing for SanDisk’s performance cards. ‘Also, the tests show that the new DSLR cameras are achieving higher processing speeds, which means that consumers are more likely to capture a candid moment or a fast-moving subject if they use a card with optimal write performance.’
