Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 years ago, but this Lexar …

Some time ago we posted an article on the latest and greatest in CFExpress Type B cards with our Lexar Professional Diamond 128GB and its unique ability to provide a sustained write performance of just under 1600MB/s.  After all, sustained write speeds are everything in the world of digital media and, earlier CFExpress Type B cards that could not hold …

CF Express Type-A memory cards are a particularly niche product restricted for the most part to those newer Sony camera lovers; Sony A7S III, A1 and A7 IV.  It was that mid-choice between XQD and CFExpress Type-B but then XQD saw firmware upgrades enabling CFExpress Type B which left Type-A on its own.  Our first showing of Type-A cards saw …

Up on the Test Bench today we have the latest and greatest from Lexar, the Lexar Professional NM800 Pro NVMe SSD.  This SSD has a very compact heatsink which makes it the perfect addition to a Sony Playstation 5 gaming system.  Let’s add to that the fact that the makeup of this SSD isn’t your run of the mill copycat …

One of the biggest advances at the forefront of digital technology in the past few years has to do with data storage and the introduction of CFExpress cards.  As an avid photographer and digital enthusiast, myself… I wonder what took so long and… in fact, I wonder why the digital industry has lagged so far behind when we consider the …

If you are a gamer or media manipulator, data transfer speeds are key.  There are two options that speak to data transfer speed in external storage, these being Thunderbolt 3/4 or the newest USB 3.2.  We see fairly few Thunderbolt devices these days as they are the more expensive of the two when considering external SSDs.  They are faster, however. …

It hasn’t been that long now since the introduction of CF Express Type B cards have pushed storage performance to 1750MB/s in the media industry. Media professionals understand that storage speeds are everything; the key thought being that continuous video or photography can only be accomplished with high speed storage concurrent to their activity.  Any DSLR owner knows EXACTLY what …

A decade ago, there wasn’t a person around that would have believed we might ever need 1TB as storage in a typical smartphone, camera or consumer-driven media device…but times have changed.  We might never have expected 4K to be the norm for smartphone video but today there are those that will record in 8K.  And pictures, yesterday’s DSLR family could …

It is no secret that we have been fans of Lexar for several years and, for the most part, their products are always found in our media work.  I love the simplicity, performance and calibre of their products plain and simple.  That’s why we simply had to reach out when Lexar introduced their newest CFExpress USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Card …

Sometimes things almost seem just too coincidental. Less than two weeks back we received the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD for review while only a few days after that the Lexar name came up while touching base with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in some time.  We were discussing his business, which is PC build and repair, when he …
