PixelFlash 256GB CFast 2.0 Card 3600X HyperCore - Pro Video Storage

Our review of the PixelFlash 256GB CFast 2.0 card finds it a practical choice for professional shooters who need sustained write performance for cinematic workflows. Built to meet VPG-180 requirements and lab-tested in the USA, this card's single biggest advantage is consistent high-speed recording and fast transfers, which reduces dropped frames and downtime during high bit rate 4K and 6K captures. For videographers using cameras like the BMPCC4K or Canon cinema bodies, the card's balance of speed, capacity and durability is the reason to consider it.

Key Features

• VPG-180 video guarantee: Ensures sustained minimum write performance for long high bit rate recording sessions so footage stays intact during demanding shoots.
• 4K and 6K capable: Supports 4K RAW capture and, across the lineup, up to 6K recording at high frame rates, making it suitable for cinematic projects and burst photography.
• High transfer speeds: With roughly 570+ MB/s read and up to 565+ MB/s write, file offloads are much faster than older media, cutting wait time between shoots.
• Lab-tested durability: Each card is tested for reliability and designed to withstand professional use, offering extra confidence when shooting in the field.
• Wide camera compatibility: Works with major cinema and DSLR systems such as Canon, Blackmagic and Z CAM, and helps reduce camera energy consumption.

Who It's For

The PixelFlash 256GB CFast 2.0 card is aimed at professional videographers and hybrid shooters who record continuous high bit rate video or long RAW takes and need a dependable card that meets VPG-180. It fits well in workflows that require rapid offload and near-immediate reuse of media between takes.

Casual photographers or those who only shoot occasional 1080p footage may find this card overkill and can look to lower-cost SD or smaller-capacity cards. Also, if your camera requires proprietary media or a different form factor, this CFast 2.0 card will not be suitable.
