There aren't many options for Type A CFexpress cards. By which I mean there are two. As expensive as these are, those from Sony are even more so. But benchmarks show Prograde performs equally well, so it's the obvious choice.

Bought these for my A7SIII and they are blazing fast. Going to try them on my A7IV when I get it. Crazy how far technology has come. Prograde has made a high quality product much more affordable and much better built than the OEM brand. I highly recommend these.

I put a pair of these in my Sony A7R-V. To say they are fast is an understatement. I have yet to even see the "writing" indicator on the camera. It is almost as though the camera bypasses the buffer (I know it does not - but it feels that way) and goes straight to the card. Point is - no buffer-dump waits, even with bursts of 10-12 raw frames of 62MP each.With the right reader, reads fast into my PC and RAID array as well.I know these are expensive, and CF-B would have been cheaper (I dock a star for cost). But the ability to put two in the body and mirror both, instead of having one "fast" card and one "slow" card is a huge deal for those of us who always shoot a mirrored setup.

And cramming two CF-B card slots into the small body would have been quite a trick. So I see the engineering compromise made. Still danged expensive though.

Only two differences between these and the Sony versions that I can so far tell with just a few uses:1. These cost less2. These a better looking than the SonyI cannot tell if there is any speed difference between these and the Sony when used in the camera or in transferring from card to PC.
Blazing fast. Just remember that culling the images later on, is a chore. But you will not miss the most important shot because of the slow buffer. Think of your child's athletics which lasts 20 seconds, A hummingbird sequence... endless possibilities.
So far so good! Good quality build. It?s not like the SD card built of plastic. I use it on my Sony Alpha 1, I have not see any waiting for buffer to clear on high frame rate shots. When used it with the Sony SD USHII card, I need to wait for buffer to clear even with 10 frames per second.I rate Four and half star and highly recommend.Plus it?s 200 bucks(2packs)cheaper than the Sony Cfexpress type A.
This card has been great. Get the card reader as well. I have the Sony version and the pro grade version and not only is the pro grade 1/2 the price but it has an SD reader as well as the type “A”.I highly recommend this product and bought a second card.
I thought the Prograde V90 cards were fast! This thing really smokes! My un-scientific testing proved that this card is noticeably faster than the v90 cards and I'm convinced to keep on using it!
This is an excellent alternative to Sony’s proprietary CF-A cards. Love them and have used the Sony and Prograde in the other slot. No slow down, and excellent speed. Metal casing and feels really durable and to me it loads in the camera better then the Sony… I have had the Sony stick when loading in my A1. I highly recommend them!!
This is a powerful card. Performed past expectations! I wont take a star away from this because its preference. I hope that they make the type A cards and the readers compatible on the Ipad. I'm use to the ease of quick exports straight to editing. However, that's what Google Drive transfer is for, amazing going to get the v90 next!
