PixelFlash 128GB CFast 2.0 Card 3600X HyperCore - Pro Video Speed

In this review the PixelFlash 128GB CFast 2.0 card is evaluated for professional videographers and photographers who need sustained high bitrate recording and fast offloads. The bottom line: it delivers the VPG-180 performance required for high definition and burst shooting while offering very fast transfer rates that reduce waiting time between takes. Tested in lab conditions and used with cinema cameras, this card is most compelling for shooters who prioritize reliable continuous recording and quick workstation transfers.

Key Features

• VPG-180 video guarantee: Ensures stable sustained write performance for uninterrupted high bitrate recording, ideal for long takes and burst photo sequences.
• 4K and 6K support: Capable of handling 4K RAW workflows and, on larger capacities, up to 6K at high frame rates, making it suitable for cinematic shoots.
• High transfer speeds: With read speeds of 570+ MB/s and write speeds up to 565+ MB/s, it minimizes transfer time to your editing system so you can start post quickly.
• Laboratory-tested durability: Each card is lab tested for reliability and durability, providing predictable performance under demanding conditions.
• Broad camera compatibility: Works with popular cinema and DSLR cameras, reducing the need for multiple card formats on set.

Who It's For

The PixelFlash 128GB CFast 2.0 card is built for professional users who record sustained high bitrates: cinematographers shooting long takes, indie filmmakers recording 4K RAW, and photographers who rely on burst sequences. Its combination of VPG-180 assurance and fast transfer makes it a practical choice for production workflows where downtime is costly.

Users who should look elsewhere include those who never shoot video above standard HD or who need lower-cost archival cards for casual use; also, if your camera only accepts newer CFexpress or UHS-II SD cards, confirm compatibility before purchasing a CFast 2.0 card.
