Hi

FYI for what it's worth

My KB 64GB card that is 1000x is OK

but I had a 1000x 128GB card that wasn't.

Sent it back and got a 1050x same size and that is fine.

Warning about KomputerBay!

I had one of two cards fail.  They did not honor their warranty.

Just an FYI!

That's interesting I have just bought two but thinking about buying more.

I did send a 128 1000x back originally because it didn't work with my 5D3 which I got a refund back from Amazon and then I bought another but this time a 128 1050x which does work.

I am interested in how the card failed.  The warranty or lack of it is important but the loss of images could be much more critical in some circumstances.  Could you tell a little more?  How long were you using it successfully before it failed?  And any other information.

I am not using the ML raw on any paying job at the moment. But I don't want to make a huge investment in KB cards if they are unreliable.

@weoul

Thank you for spotting the elementary error.  I have redone the benchmark test and edited the image in the previous post.

Has anyone go the same 5 min benchmark test of a Lexar card, to know what I might expect?

Here are the 5 minute benchmark test results for the Komputer Bay cards

Quite a difference in the test results.

EDIT I have changed the 64Gb image and redone the benchmark test in movie mode, the results are now a bit closer!

Firstly the 128 Gb Card



and secondly the 64Gb Card

Hi

I have done the ML Benchmark CF+SD write benchmark, think it is the write that is the most important and I have test results of 83.4 and 77Mb for the 64Gb and 128Gb KB cards respectively.

Is that too slow?

You suggest the 5min benchmark test, I haven't done that one yet, just the CF+SD write benchmark with the results above.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Guys

Complete newbie here!

I think I have done everything OK but this si a question whether my KB cards are OK.  Both perform similar and cut out stopping recording at around 1 minute rec time.  The cards I have are 64GB and a 128GB.

Is this OK or are the cards duff?

Thanks
