SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro CFexpress Type B | $599.99 | $149.99
SAVE $450 at B&H This is my go-to memory card for high-speed, high-performance shooting. Reading and writing at up to 1700 MB/s and 1400 MB/s respectively, it's essential for high-res stills and 4K, 6K and 8K video.
SanDisk's 512GB Extreme Pro is one of the best CFexpress cards you can buy, and it's the one that lives in my Canon EOS R5 most of the time – and I also use it with cameras like the Nikon Z8 and Hasselblad X2D! It withstands all the rigors of rapid-fire 45MP bursts and 8K video, and so fast that I can drag everything onto my laptop in no time at all.
CFexpress cards have always been pricey, so to have such an enormous saving on a top brand is a really big deal. At this price, it's worth grabbing two!
