Boost your CompactFlash speed

Lexar will produce impressive new faster and higher capacity CompactFlash cards. Seems that these new cards will have a speed close to UDMA 6’s thereshold of 100MB/second. This means doubling the speed of actual cards!

Actual top cards from Lexar use UDMA standard, practically a transfer data speed of 45MB/second.

The new “UDMA 6″ cards will have also a capacity of 32GB, but only newer Single Lens Reflex cameras will support this faster technology.

A faster memory card can improve your life as photographer, you can shoot continuously, you can review the data more easily and also transferring the photos will be faster, of course.

But this is not the maximum speed reachable. In 18 to 24 months will arrive the CFast CompactFlash card standard.

The CFast cards will use a SATA interface which will boost the transfer rate to an amazing 375MB/second.
