Recommended SD and CF Express Type-B Cards

In this video, I and, discuss memory cards, CF Express type B cards, and solid-state drives. I start by mentioning that Lexar sent me some memory cards to review, including a CF Express type B card. I decided to compare these new cards to the ones I’ve been using. I also talk about my practice of periodically replacing memory cards due to concerns about their longevity, especially since I shoot a lot and often use multiple cameras.

I share the results of the tests I conducted on various memory cards, including Lexar, OWC (Other World Computing), Angelbird, SanDisk, and Sony Tough cards. I compare their read and write speeds, discussing their performance and price points. I mentioned my preference for 256GB SD cards for my workflow.

Next, I discuss CF Express type B cards, which I primarily use as backups and for video work. I compare the performance and prices of Angelbird, OWC, and Lexar CF Express type B cards, with Lexar being the fastest and most cost-effective option.

Towards the end, I touch on the use of external SSDs for editing and recommend a specific model for its speed and affordability. I stress the importance of regular backups and suggest color-coding Thunderbolt cables for easy identification.

In conclusion, the video provides my recommendations and insights into memory cards and SSDs, including their performance and pricing. I also invite viewers to share their favorite memory cards, CF Express cards, or portable hard drives in the comments section and direct them to a webpage for detailed statistics and additional information.
