Transcend TS512GCFE820 CFexpress 820 Type B Memory Card for 4K Video Capture

Update: 2023-October-16I've had a chance to use the card and test its performance. The screenshot shows the transfer rates I got when using a CFE card reader (Amazon SKU B0BJVKBFYM) with a ASM236X chipset. Based on the speeds, I suspect this is the ASM2362 chipset, which only supports 10Gbps speeds. So it's possible that this is the limiting factor in the noted read/write speeds shown in my picture. My testing system has USB 4.0, so that was not the limitation.That being said, the card get VERY hot! And after about 45 minutes of 4K/60 video recording, the EOS R3 automatically shutdown due to thermal temps getting too high. The same heat was generated when running the benchmark in the external card reader. I don't know if this heat is indicative to this particular card or to CFE cards in general. Based on what I know about memory cards, the heat is probably typical of all highspeed CFE cards.I don't have much reason to doubt that the card gets near its claimed read/write speeds. As noted, the only issue I had was heat related. Capturing sustained video streams of 4K 60fps posed no problems.Original Review:The price was very competitive and I've been very happy with Transcend products in the past. I've had no issues with it in my Canon R3. I cannot report on the actual transfer speeds outside the camera because I don't have an external CFexpress card reader. I can only say that the camera hasn't given any issues or warnings regarding performance.

Have mostly used it for photos, but have recorded a few short videos on it as well. No problems in the camera, or transferring files to my computer.

Upgraded from my Sony XQD 32gb card. It is definitely more faster then XQD and I do not have to worry about running out of space. Writing peed is less compare to other cards offering 1400KBs. But from my requirement perspective it is still exceeding the my requirement. (I do not record any 4k and mainly used for still photographs). Price goes up n down a lot So keep eye on it and you may get a good bargain.

This card works great with my camera as it is fast when capturing fast moving subjects in sports. It does get a little warm in my card reader when importing files into my computer, not sure if it’s the card or the card reader.

Hasta el momento luego de un mes de uso todo súper bien!! trabaja bien en la Fujifilm X-H2S en ProRes

I have a Nikon Z6 body, however the firmware was in version 2.2, I had to update to v 2.6 for the CF Express card to work. In order to update the Z6 you have to have a XQD memory card, AND a XQD card reader. A real pain to update. Before the update I was getting a message that the memory card was not compatible, but after the update this card worked flawlessly. Just leaving this review in case anyone else has this problem, make sure to check your firmware and update before ordering this card.

I bought this card on January 2024. I'm not a pro, and taking only few pictures a week. This card works fine but overheat. This morning (June 29 2024) after not using it for 4 month the plastic basically disintegrated. It's still on warranty but unfortunately I do not have the packaging.

a very fast memory card with decent prise. Dont miss ıt if you use a dual slot NİKON DSLR
