Lexar Professional SILVER Series 512GB CFexpress Card, Type B CFe Card up to 1750MB/s Read, CF Card Adopt PCIe Gen3x2, CF Memory Card Compatible with DSLR, Backward with XQD Camera (LCXEXSL512G-RNENG)

This is one of the best memory cards I’ve used. I mainly use it for photography on my Canon R5, shooting RAW, and it performs really well. It’s fast, reliable, and handles large files without any slowdowns. It gives me confidence when shooting high-resolution work and I haven’t had any errors or issues so far. Perfect for professional-level cameras and demanding use. Highly recommended if you shoot RAW or video and need a card that keeps up with a high-end camera.

Having recently added a Nikon D850 to my kit bag, it soon became apparent that I couldn't get away with simply using an SD card. For video and high speed continuous, shooting would grind to a halt very quickly with an SD card. Like it or not, I knew I'd have to bite the bullet and buy a high speed CFExpress card. Now having done a little bit of research, it soon became apparent that QXD cards are old hat. If you want the latest (and fastest) you need CFExpress. Now Lexar has always had a very good reputation for memory cards so I was keen to see what they had to offer. Looking around, it soon became apparent that high speed, premium brand CFExpress cards don't come cheap - a 128GB card is still around £170 if you want a decent branded card. You can therefore imagine I jumped pretty quick when I saw that the Lexar 128GB card being sold everywhere else for £170 was only £132 on Amazon. That's a big saving! The card arrived next day in small retail packaging with the card itself safely stored within a plastic card case. Sticking the card into my Nikon D850, the first thing I tried was continuous high speed shooting - I set the camera to full resolution, non-compressed RAW and hit the shutter release. The camera started cranking through shutter actuations like an MG-42 on full automatic with no sign of slow down. After about 20 seconds or so, it was STILL going with no slow down at all. Now Lexar quote a maximum write speed of 1750 mb/s but of course what really matters is sustained write speed. This is where cheaper brands normally fall flat on their faces but not the Lexar - it manages to achieve a good 1000 mb/s sustained which should be fast enough for 99% of people shooting uncompressed video and RAW files. RAW files from a D850 aren't small - each image from my little test above was about 56 mbytes so you can imagine that 9 frames per second for 20 seconds is going to produce a lot of data! 180 images at 56 mbytes per image = over a Gigabyte of images! Transferring all that data needs a high speed memory card reader so don't hesitate to buy a decent CFExpress USB-C (or similar) card reader if you haven't got one already! My little review really has only scratched the surface of the capabilities of this card. As you can tell, I’m impressed. It’s fast. In fact, it’s insanely fast. Is it the fastest card money can buy? Not quite - even Lexar’s own Diamond series cards are faster - but most people will find the Lexar professional series more than adequate for their needs. Only really problem is choosing which capacity to buy - I bought a 128GB card and even now wish I’d gone for the 256GB or even the 512GB!

Lexar are a quality brand and this CFexpress card lives up to their reputation. I've been using this to record video on my Canon R5 and it has been fast and reliable so far, coping with 4k @120fps with no issues.

Nice quality, feels like it will last, does what it’s supposed too, 4 stars as the wire should be a bit longer

Performs very well in Nikon D6iii. Lightning fast read and write. Best value amongst Type B CFe cards. Backing up to SSD super-fast. No errors so far

Works with the Panasonic S1R. Can't talk about speeds or data but it seems like a good quality card.

Pros: Transfer speeds up to 900MB/s – lightning quick Premium build quality, feels durable Comes with both USB-C cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter for flexibility Cons: Slightly pricier than some alternatives Cable could be a touch longer Review: I picked up the Lexar RW515 CFexpress Type A Card Reader for my camera workflow, and it’s been a huge step up. Build quality is excellent – it feels sturdy and well put together. Transfer speeds are seriously impressive; large video files move across in seconds rather than minutes, which makes a big difference when editing under time pressure. The included USB-C cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter are a nice touch, meaning it works seamlessly with both modern laptops and older machines. The only things I’d note are that it’s on the higher end price-wise, and I’d have liked a slightly longer cable. Overall though, I’m really impressed so far. If you want a reliable, fast, and well-built reader for CFexpress Type A cards, this is an excellent choice.

Great value and performance would buy again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Parfaite pour ma caméra Ronin 4D ! La Lexar Professional Silver Series CFexpress 256Go est tout simplement excellente. Utilisée avec ma Ronin 4D, elle offre des vitesses de lecture incroyables jusqu'à 1750 Mo/s, ce qui facilite le transfert rapide des fichiers lourds en haute résolution. Aucun souci de latence ou de ralentissement, même lors des enregistrements en 4K. La compatibilité avec le PCIe Gen3x2 assure des performances stables et fiables. La carte est robuste et supporte bien des sessions de tournage intensives. Avec 256 Go de capacité, j’ai largement de quoi filmer sans me soucier de manquer d’espace. Un produit de qualité professionnelle que je recommande vivement pour tous ceux qui cherchent une carte mémoire performante et fiable pour leurs caméras ou reflex numériques.

Se nota la calidad al puro tacto, y la velocidad es excelente!

Der Kartenleser von Lexar hat sich für meine Arbeit mit dem iPad als echter Gewinn erwiesen. Während die Bildübertragung über die Nikon-WLAN-Verbindung oft langsam und fehleranfällig war, funktioniert der Import mit dem Kartenleser deutlich schneller und absolut zuverlässig. Besonders schätze ich, dass ich direkt nach dem Einstecken der Speicherkarte sofort auf meine Fotos zugreifen kann – ohne umständliche App-Steuerung oder lange Wartezeiten. Die Verarbeitung wirkt robust und hochwertig, und das kompakte Design macht ihn ideal für unterwegs. Gerade für Fotografen, die ihre Bilder schnell sichten oder bearbeiten möchten, ist dieser Kartenleser eine klare Empfehlung.

Read and write speed as advertised. Good product ..!!
