I am shooting bigger projects with the C300 mk ii and the extra cards got me through a session without the need to copy cards to my laptop during a shoot. These cards have always been reliable and the recent price drop was an added bonus.

I have two of the CFast cards (128GB and 64GB), with labels showing just the Read speeds. These cards need to be Sanitized using SanDisk's Sanitizer app in order to remain reliable. But the app (which never ran all that well, requiring a force quit after using) has not been updated to run on MacOS High Sierra. I have a new iMacPro which came with High Sierra 10.13.3. Sanitizer will not install on the OS. I contacted SanDisk tech support and got some suggestions which did not result in getting Sanitizer installed, before finally being informed that no, Sanitizer will not in fact run on High Sierra. I then tried it on my 2017 MacBookPro running Sierra, where I had a copy of Sanitizer already installed. It would launch but would not recognize a CFast card ...

SanDisk's newer CFast cards do not require sanitizing. I was told that I would get an email response. The email that I received stonewalled me. It told me that I would not get a warranty replacement, that I should use a Windows computer to sanitize or a Mac running Sierra. Of course that ignored the fact that the same representative had been informed that on Sierra, the app would not recognize a CFast card that was mounted on the desktop. I used SanDisk cards extensively since I got my first DSLR in 2003. But with SanDisk's refusal to either come up with a Sanitizer app that will install on the current MacOS, or recognize a CFast card on an older MacOS, or replace my cards with newer CFast cards that do not require sanitizing, I would not buy any SanDisk products again.

I bought this card for use with an EOS-1D X Mark II, at just about the time that it became clear that there was a data corruption problem that was occurring with 1D X Mark IIs and SanDisk CFast cards. By the time my camera shipped, Canon had implemented a workaround in a firmware update, although they state that the problem really is within the card and not the fault of the camera. I have not seen any data corruption using this card in a 1D X Mark II with the new firmware (v1.02). But, I'm unhappy that I spent quite a bit on a card that does have this lurking problem. Other than that, the card performs very well. I hope SanDisk fixes this weakness in their CFast cards, and I'd like it if they replaced my 128GB card and also the 64GB card (which has the same ...

Like most SanDisk products, their POST-2017 CFast memory cards are EXCELLENT performers, robust and reliable. Ive been using SanDisk CF and SD cards in Canon 1D and 5D DSLRs and Leica M and Q series cameras for more than 10 years now, and Ive never had any problems with the cards themselves (Ive had a few minor issues with cheap, generic card READERS [cracked wires inside their folding or wrapped plastic insulation causing random data download interruptions/disconnects].THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART REGARDING SANDISK CFAST CARS: its true that SanDisk released their original CFast cards prematurely, and that they had very irritating bugs, causing significant risk of data corruption and loss (as some reviews validate). While this was highly frustrating and worrisome ... MoreLike most SanDisk products, their POST-2017 CFast memory cards are EXCELLENT performers, robust and reliable.

While this was highly frustrating and worrisome (and lead directly to SanDisk developing the goofy and cumbersome sanitization procedure [a crude and tedious workaround]), THESE PROBLEMS WERE FULLY RESOLVED BY LATE 2017, AND HENCE, ANY SANDISK CFAST CARDS MANUFACTURED IN 2018 AND NEWER ARE FLAWLESS IN CAMERAS FOR WHICH THEY ARE COMPATIBLE. AND HERES THE REALLY GREAT NEWS: IF YOURE WILLING TO FORGIVE SANDISK FOR THEIR INITIAL BLUNDER AND EXTEND JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND EFFORT, YOU CAN FIND COMPLETE SATISFACTION AND BLISS, AS SANDISK WILL REPLACE (COMPLETELY FREE-OF-CHARGE) YOUR PRE-2018 CFAST CARD(S) WITH THE NEWEST MODELS, WHICH WORK FLAWLESSLY AND AS ADVERTISED. HERES WHAT I DID, AND IT WORKED:1. Contact SanDisk BY PHONE (toll-free), and explain that your old Sandisk Cfast Cards DO NOT WORK, EVEN USING THE SANDISK-RECOMMENDED SANITIZATION PROCEDURE;2. Youll be asked to email SanDisk CLEAR IMAGES of your defective CFast card(s) (I used my cell phone to do this). Be sure to capture a clean image of the SERIAL NUMBER on the thin edge of your defective CFast card. You may need to pay careful attention to your lighting conditions to ensure that the tiny inscribed SERIAL NUMBER on the edge of the card is legible. If your CFast card doesnt have a clearly marked serial number on the thin edge of the card, dont worry about it. Just take photos of the front AND BACK of the card anyway. This procedure [sending photos of your defective cards] is merely an attempt by SanDisk to prevent folks from sending in counterfeit cards for replacement with real ones;3. The SanDisk representative on the phone will give you explicit instructions for how and where to EMAIL these images ALONG WITH A PHYSICAL ADDRESS TO SEND YOUR ACTUAL (DEFECTIVE) CFAST CARDS. Follow these simple instructions faithfully (dont worry about the OEM plastic clamshell cases for the card(s) -- they dont want those back);4. In 2-4 weeks, youll receive BRAND NEW SanDisk CFast card(s) in the identical quantity and GB capacity of that (or those) which you returned for replacement. I returned TWO (2) early-2017 SanDisk 64GB CFast cards, and I received TWO (2) BRAND NEW mid-2018 SanDisk CFast cards in the mail 18 days later;5. It doesnt matter where (from whom) you purchased your OEM SanDisk CFast card(s), BUT YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PROVIDE AN IMAGE OF YOUR SALES RECEIPT, proving that you (or someone else) actually and legitimately purchased the card in the first place. B&H has ARCHIVES of past purchases that go back well-before CFast cards were invented, as do many other reputable vendors. My 2-year-old archived shipping inventory from B&H was accepted by SanDisk as a credible receipt of purchase. If you cannot locate sufficient proof of purchase or receipt (did you try your credit card issuer?), explain your situation to the SanDisk representative on the phone, and ask to return the card(s) for replacement anyway. If youre a skilled negotiator and you get an empathetic rep on the phone, you may get lucky.Postscript: yes, it was disappointing (indeed, highly frustrating) that SanDisk originally released these CFast cards before they were actually ready for prime time; and yes, it was frustrating having to go through the trouble of reaching out to SanDisk to coordinate the return/replacement process, and then WAIT for 2-3 weeks for my new replacement cards to arrive. HOWEVER...all that being said, the bottom line for me really is this: I now have two (2) SanDisk CFast cards that work EXACTLY as advertised and EXACTLY as I expect them to work: EXTREMELY FAST read times; EXTREMELY FAST write times; and CONFIDENCE that these cards will continue to deliver safe, secure, reliable performance under heavy professional use, as indeed they have for about a year now.(I use these CFast cards in Canon 1DX and 1DX Mark-II cameras, and theyve worked FLAWLESSLY every time. I use both a SanDisk-branded and a Transcend-branded portable USB-powered CFast Card Reader (both purchased here at B&H); I use these with a 2016 Apple MacBook Pro computer running OS High Sierra (10.13.6). Ive had no issues using both Apple and other USB-C-to-USB-A converters; the Sanho HyperDrive DUO USB-C Hub has been particularly excellent and highly versatile -- also available here at B&H).Along with many PREVIOUSLY valid complaints, there are a few grossly unfair reviews on this page from folks who didnt understand exactly what they were purchasing (i.e. folks who INCORRECTLY ASSUMED that CFast cards, which appear to be physically identical to Compact Flash cards, would work in their Compact Flash-compatible cameras [like Canon 5-series and older Canon 1-series DSLRs]). REST ASSURED, CANON AND NIKON USERS: THE 2018-AND-NEWER SANDISK CFAST CARDS WILL WORK EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED. While its very possible that you might unwittingly purchase a pre-2018 SanDisk CFast card from a retailer that doesnt move much of this product (a pre-2018 CFast card has been sitting on his shelf for more than 18-months), this is not a problem when purchasing from B&H, as ALL of the SanDisk CFast cards theyre now selling are the latest-generation 2018-and-newer cards, WHICH MEANS THEYRE THE UPDATED, PROPERLY FUNCTIONING CARDS from SanDisk. THESE CARDS DO NOT REQUIRE THE GOOFY, RIDICULOUS, AND TEDIOUS SANDISK SANITIZATION PROCEDURE THAT THE PRE-2018 CARDS DID. These newer CFast cards (2018 and newer) are completely maintenance-free and perform flawlessly and reliably, just as most of us have experienced and come to expect from other SanDisk card types (e.g. CF and SD).IF, LIKE ME, YOU PURCHASED A SANDISK CFAST CARD THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO LATE 2017 AND YOUR CARD HAS BEEN GIVING YOU HEADACHES OR YOURE JUST NOT CONFIDENT IN ITS RELIABILITY, SIMPLY FOLLOW THE 4-STEPS I OUTLINED ABOVE, AND YOULL SOON BE HAPPILY USING A BRAND-NEW, LATEST-GENERATION, PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING REPLACEMENT SANDISK CFAST CARD, JUST AS I AM!I do not work for B&H nor for SanDisk. Im just another passionate photographer trying to get the best from my gear, like most of you who are reading this...
I recently purchased a Canon Mark II DX1 with 4K imaging. We needed a fast, high quality card in order to capture the details we wanted for this camera. After doing some research, I wanted to purchase a CFast card instead of a C-flash card. Our first SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB 515MB/s card is great! Gives us a great picture and is light speed. We went ahead and ordered a backup card. (For $300+ we expect this product to work every time.) That wasn't the case. The second SanDisk Extreme Pro card has already crashed while transferring footage 3 times already. It will say you have a corrupted file then it ejects the card improperly causing it to erase all of your data. When you have to worry about your footage and if it's going to make it to your computer safely, there ... MoreI recently purchased a Canon Mark II DX1 with 4K imaging.

When you have to worry about your footage and if it's going to make it to your computer safely, there is a problem there. I have been going back and forth with the manufacture trying to get another card sent out. It is much more trouble then you will want to deal with. DO NOT BUY THIS CARD! IF YOU DO, BEWARE YOU MAY GET A BAD ONE AND WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS AS WELL. I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BUY FROM ANOTHER BRAND OR WAIT TILL THE TECHNOLOGY IS CORRECTED.
Works great in my 1dx2 very fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell much difference in the cf vs this. Boy was I wrong this is so much faster. If you own a camera that uses this card you should own one. I am un sure of video but its great for shooting raw at a fast rate. I have yet to have it buffer or stop. It just works.
I have been using it for few days now. It is a nice product. I don't have problem yet. I bought this one with my first 1 DX MII and so happened that camera has oil splatters so I returned it to B and H. Then I forgot the Extreme PRO CFast Card in it, I have been calling to B and H and asking about the card, they said they don't find it. Then I called up again still they don't find it. So I asked if they a signature of a person who received the returns then he knows it. However, they insisted to me that maybe I misplaced it. I told them NO, I was pretty sure that I did not get it out from the camera because I didn't buy a card reader for CFast yet. Then the second 1DX MII showed up and still the CFast card not sent back.

Then I followed up this card. on the month of july I already surrendered for makin a follow up in this card but package showed up with my card. So thank you so much for the HONEST PEOPLE in B and H. My third 1DX Mark II showed up there is still problem but it is in the lower side of the image.
Bought these as they are the ARRI approved memories for Alexa Mini. Tested them and they work well with both pro res and Arri Raw. Look forward to taking them out on the field and seeing how they perform after a few uses.
After years of using SanDisk memory cards, I've never had one malfunction. The 128 GB card is slightly faster than the 64 GB card for continuous shooting. In a Canon 1D ii, I have never hit the limit for how many shots it will record on a burst of photos. The record speed always keeps up. The larger capacity cards may be popular, but I don't want to put ALL my eggs in one basket, and 128 GB is a lot of photos even in RAW format.
I bought two of these cards to use it with my 1DX Mark II. However these cards are useless for that camera. Even with the firmware update which addresses the corrupted file issues, this card suffers from a fatal flaw. It will slow down as it gets full, the only way to reset it is to use the SanDisk refresh utility every single time after you download your images. Formatting in the camera is not good enough to restore the card to its fresh state. Using the utility is slow, cumbersome and a drag in the field. If you accidentally forget to do it you will end with a card that is slower than a CF card. It's rubbish
