I bought the KingSpec 1TB CFast 2.0 Memory Card hoping for a good deal, but it turned out to be a disappointment. At first it worked, but soon I started getting errors on my camera. The card looks cheap it has no back sticker, but I could overlook that if it performed. Unfortunately, it’s not high-speed and dropped frames every few seconds. I encountered a buffer overflow error on my Canon EOS-1D X Mark II because the card can't keep up with the camera's sensor data rate... then recordings ended prematurely. Not ok. Tests on desktop showed decent speeds, but real-world camera performance was poor. Overall, cheap waste of time and money.

I purchased the KingSpec MIXAGE 512GB CFast 2.0 Memory Card for both personal and professional use, and it has been a huge disappointment. During my very first use at a family event, the card constantly dropped frames, ruining several moments I was trying to capture.Hoping it was a formatting issue, I reformatted the card multiple times, but the problem persisted. Thankfully, this happened during a personal event and not a client photo shoot—otherwise, it could have been disastrous.For a product marketed as a high-performance memory card, this level of unreliability is unacceptable. I cannot recommend this card to anyone, whether you're a professional or a casual user. Avoid at all costs!

A great upgrade for an older camera that's still got life left in it. 64GB adds a lot of storage to older CF-based cameras, especially with the relatively quick writes. Sure, this won't suddenly make the old SLR into a brand new camera, but it sure will make long trips a lot easier.2024 update - it is now dead. That did not last long ~1yr. It is harder and harder to find good CF cards, and Kingspec has usually been good in the past. I hope I just got a dud, but it's obviously well out of the exchange window. I might try a 128GB or 256GB and hope it isn't a dud.

I was concerned that I would not be able to Record UHD 4K 30p in my Canon C300 MKII, It worked perfectly! Previously I purchased a pair of 512 GB cards from another manufacturer and the cards could not do the UHD 4k, they kept stopping. I could only record 1080p, I realized the cards could not keep up with the speed and volume of data. This card is perfect and the price is excellent! Now is the time to lock in on that 330-minute 4k UHD 30p capacity and the right price. Something tells me these cards won't be around for much longer....

I got the KingSpec 64GB VPG-65 to use in an old, backup Nikon D200 DSLR. Performance appears indistinguishable from any other CF cards I have - aside from my ancient IBM Microdrives :p It's worth keeping in mind that the old-school PATA-type interface is the bottleneck.As far as the price is concerned, the KingSpec is on the higher side of what you'd normally pay for 64GB, and in the range of cheaper 128GB CFs. I did verify that this drive has the full capacity, and is not a fraudulent unit with memory wraparound.

Just received the 64GB CF card, working well from my test shots. I’ll update based on real world use. I basically wanted redundant storage for certain shoots where I needed to ensure redundancy in case of SD card loss.Someone else commented with a 1 star that the CFast one didn’t work for their mk4, no kidding… The Canon 5Dmk4 doesn’t support CFast. Clearly outlined on Canon’s own tech specs of the camera:CF card• Type I drive (Type II and Microdrive non-supported.)• UDMA Mode 7 supported.• CFast cards cannot be used.SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards• UHS-I supported.• MultiMediaCards (MMC) cannot be used (results in error).• UHS-II not supported. If a UHS-II card is used, it may be slower than a UHS-I (depends on the cardspecifications).

A good quality CompactFlash memory card. You won't be disappointed!** If you plan to use it for an Empeg / RioCar player upgrade, then read on, for the rest of this review is relevant to that.This card went into a Empeg "Mark II" in-dash car mp3 (rebranded RioCar) player to replace its aging IDE drive. This 64GB CompactFlash sold for $40.99 at the time of this review which is a bargain. In addition to this memory card I used a $15 Syba adapter purchased separately from Amazon. I could not be happier with the results. My only regret is that it is not higher capacity, for although 64GB meets my immediate needs, the OS can supports up to 128GB. KingSpec does sell the larger card for +$29, which you may want to consider if performing this upgrade.This is the second Empeg I've converted to CompactFlash; both using the same adapter. The first time I used a SanDisk Extreme 128GB card, and although that works well too, it cost more and I see no appreciable advantage with it over this one. KingSpec claims a slight speed advantage of 135 MB/s which is 15 MB/s faster than SanDisk's rating. I have no way to verify this, but see no difference in their side by side use once in this player. Both play music without any hesitation, and the speed to load new music is never a speedy process, but seems identical between the two. The big advantage is that a CompactFlash will stand up to the extremes found in a vehicle better (heat and vibration), and as such should be the last storage change my Empegs will ever need. I hope this review has been of some help, especially for those of you continuing to use one of these classic mp3 car players.
