This card has worked perfectly with the Canon 1D X Mark II. I have used it for only 26 days so far, but it has not skipped a beat in that time. I have had both Lexar and San Disk cards lock up with the the Canon 1D X cameras (version I, and earlier on with version II). Problems seem to happen more often with new memory cards. Some of the new ones that had errors early started working perfectly later, perhaps due to firmware. However, this card, even though brand new, and faster than the other options, has proved to be utterly reliable so far. I don't even notice it, which is a good thing... although I absolutely do appreciate the amazing speed of the card when downloading photos to my Mac Pro Thunderbolt DAS.
Normally I wouldn't review a brand new card only 26 days after purchase unless it had failed on me, but I feel like this card is working so well that it deserves a review. Everything in my experience has proven that it is a winner and can be trusted as a worthy success to Lexar and SanDisk. Perhaps the future might even prove that it is superior to them both, who knows?
My card completely failed on set last night (10-21-18) with my 1DX mark II. Made my request for a return 28 days after purchase yesterday late. Which would have been a replacement and not a return cause the card is of great quality as described in listing and priced well, just a bad one I’m guessing.
Had one of their representives reach out to resolve the issue and provided great customer service. Nice to not have to bug a company to fix something. I now have mine returning back to them and a new one on the way.
Purchased to use in my 1dx mk2 and so far so good—if this turns out to be different down the line, I will be updating my review of this accordingly. Price is good in comparison to Lexar and Sandisk and given the people backing Prograde, I feel more confident buying this over one of those other ones with the weird names.
Was super excited to give these a try. Although a new company I had faith when I read who was behind the company. Not to mention what a great price they have on their CFast cards! No issues on my 1DX. Will be ordering more in the future.
This is a fantastic CFast card. Fast, easily handling my BMPCC4K BRaw footage. So far very reliable. Definitely recommended.

Works great with the Ursa Mini Pro!
The card is great but the cost was too much. Site actually showed a a 256 GB card for a 128 GB card, slightly deceptive!
Quality you can rely on. Would buy / have bought again!
We use these cFast cards exclusively in our Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K) and in our Canon 1DX Mark II bodies for video work. I have never experienced a dropped frame in 4K 60p. Even handles CinemaDNG RAW files on the Black Magic with ease. I am now replacing all my older Sandisk cards with ProGrade Digital cards. I have nothing but great things to say about ProGrade digital cards. Great value, and I even reached out to support for a few questions, and they were super helpful and quick to reply.
