Slowly, but it is true from the most mass format CompactFlash has turned in nishevy'y. The reason for it is simple — really compact at the moment of creation of a card became too great for many modern applications. The in itself interface socket is great why essentially to reduce other dimensions it is impossible — all the same the whole contacts. As a result and support of the given cards is too dear pleasure — the place for lines given to find is necessary, all conductors to dissolve, etc. For comparison — classical MMS manage all family contacts, and SD-cards nine. Thus, from the point of view of manufacture support of the last costs almost on the order is cheaper. And the size matters, and in process of miniaturization of the most digital technics the increasing. Here also has left so, that the sphere of dwelling CF last years compare sony notebooks was quickly reduced. In players these cards were not fixed, in their mobile phones anybody and did not use, from the market of a handheld computer have squeezed out practically completely. Longest that segment for which cards initially and were developed — digital cameras kept. However couple of years changes back have here again begun. Slot CompactFlash has quickly disappeared from ultracompact and compact models, becoming attribute exclusively devices of a high class. And here it slowly, but truly enemies restricted — if earlier the normal phenomenon for the professional device was presence at all one, and pair slotov CF later send to the combined scheme — CF + SD. And appeared in it to year Lumix DMC-L became not only the first camera with replaceable optics from Panasonic, but also compare sony notebooks the first zerkalkoy without support CompactFlash! That refers to, the ice has got under way...
However, let small, but the niche at CF is still kept. In end-ends L it is in own way unique — even Sony has not risked to make a similar feint ears, having supplied the chamber slotom CF and an adapter with MemoryStick on it, and among inexpensive models till now the weight of devices supports only CF. Even now. Let alone that sense to change the chamber of this class bought several years ago of usually sense it is not enough: and without that the optics replaceable is enough sanction, and advanced electronics is not strongly demanded, for with noise to struggle it is not too necessary, compare sony notebooks and automatic adjustments users of such devices favour not especially. To leave with CompactFlash even at presence of such opportunity (if the chamber is supplied to two slotami for cards of memory) too it is not too justified. Greater sizes and higher consumption on a background of the sizes and consumption of the chamber are all the same lost, however are capable to turn back and advantages — to these cards easier give greater capacities. Absolutely simple and extensive by: it is not necessary to wait for occurrence of more capacious microcircuits of fle`sh-memory — their greater quantity will get into the case, to support which at a three-volt feed where easier, than on the lowered pressure of compact formats. As a result SD only have recently officially managed to get out for restriction in gigabayta, the majority of announced cards SDHC and today have capacity up to Gbytes, and compare sony notebooks for CF it yesterday ;) the Card, capacity of Gbytes, it is possible not only to see in news, but also simply to go and get in shop. And it is impossible to tell, that the expensive — even in Moscow their price already sometimes less than 2 dollars. The same proportion is kept and for smaller volumes — chety'rehgigabaytnaya a SD-card far not everywhere working, costs about 1 dollars, and similar CF less than (and and problems with compatibility it is less). And for satisfaction of needs of day tomorrow's manufacturers available to offer cards on and even Gbytes that developers of devices of other formats while cannot make. Perhaps, somewhere in laboratories similar also test, but in sale for any money do not let out. CF basically compare sony notebooks it is already possible and to get. And throughput of the parallel interface is rather high. It is let not too strongly demanded right now, let series-parallel trunks are better scaled, but the fact remains the fact — SD only recently have got out for restriction in 1 ?i?O/with while cards CompactFlash even in the theory for a long time already support speed of data transmission up to Mb per second, and the specification accepted in the autumn 4. has raised PS the interface up to 1 Mb per second. Not, certainly, that till such speeds real devices of the given format will have time to live the fact (tendencies nevertheless for the standard adverse), but in itself such reserve heats a soul :)
Thus, fast, capacious and inexpensive cards of format CompactFlash also are now interesting to enough many users. Let in compare sony notebooks their absolute calculation it is less, the consumers miniSD or MMCmobile, but, nevertheless, it is a lot of. And, unlike the last, the who continues to choose CF, it is important not only the price and capacity, but also speed.
Earlier we tested speed of work of cards of fle`sh-memory very often, now too is frequent, but... Basically in application to cards of other formats. The last CompactFlash on our site was already one year ago, and an equipment available at that time in the market has appeared unable to be squeezed out of cards even 60h. It in case of kartovodov — what to speak about cameras which majority is appreciable more slowly. However, as have shown the last kartovodov, new compare sony notebooks controllers are already capable of at least full recycling of opportunities of the cards marked on 80h, i.e. with average speed of the order of Mb per second. Faster cards near at hand at the moment of testing was not, so a question where now the top border, remained opened. However and manufacturers on the opened opportunities have reacted in almost identical image, in new series not only increasing capacity, but also having borrowed in speed. As a result, if one year ago the fastest officially were cards SanDisk Extreme III with the declared speed of record and reading in Mb per second today with marks 120h, 133h or even 150h in the market already it is a lot of cards, and from all manufacturers. SanDisk, in turn, offers already cards Extreme IV where the declared speed is increased up to Mb per second. It is clear, that on such compare sony notebooks it is already unable any USB-kartovod so the company at the same time has let out also special FireWire-model with complete support of the given cards. However studying similar monstrikov with monstruoznoy by (in a ruler only three cards — 2, and Gbytes, and even younger have the recommended price in 1 dollars, that more than twice surpasses cost gigabaytny'h cards from more modest manufacturers and with more modest productivity ;)) we shall leave on then. While we shall study three cards easier from two companies. At the same time we shall compare them to for a long time friend gigabaytnoy 80h from Transcend.
Cards of ruler Photo Steno Pro participated in our tests on a regular basis, last time the previous updating (about one and a half year ago). Basically, I would not tell, that Pro II 100h (was also podlineyka with marks 66h — here that is compare sony notebooks already less interesting) it seems strongly become outdated from the point of view of day today's — capacity up to Gbytes, the declared speed of reading of Mb per second, speed of record, accordingly, Mb per second. However the best — the enemy good why the company also has begun release of cards of series Pro III. As well as earlier, it is broken into two subsets. Cards Pro III 88x are called to replace Pro II 66x, and have similar characteristics — capacity up to Gbytes, speed of reading of Mb per second (earlier — Mb per second), speed of record of Mb per second (earlier — Mb per second). As a matter of fact, as we see, extreme cards 88h do not apply for laurels — speed of reading that will allow to dump more quickly ready photos on a computer is compare sony notebooks noticeably raised only, but not more quickly in any way to do them :) And here Pro III 150x are already more interesting, as speeds are increased even more than in one and a half time (that it would be possible to assume on marks) — the declared speed of reading makes already Mb per second, and records — Mb per second. It is simple to notice once again, that Apacer marks cards on average speed: (24+21) //2*1000/150=150h; though earlier (in the previous series) the company was guided by marks only proceeding from speed of reading: 15*1000/150=100h. In general not only that in the field of iksov confusion as manufacturers use different schemes of marks so they also them to change reigns are capable. So, once again, I wish to advise to pay attention less on iksy' — if compare sony notebooks you before purchase the declared speeds interest, it is better to look for them in more exact kind.
The ruler includes cards in capacity 1, 2, and Gbytes (polugigabaytnaya the model has remained only in a series 88h). At us on testing updating has visited dvuhgigabaytnaya.
C this ruler (and in this case it is concrete with this) we too for a long time are familiar — with most it more two years ago. In those days the given cards concerned to high-speed, today their characteristics of already admired sighes cannot cause. Judge: at present there are five models, and younger (5 Mb, and Gbytes) are marked as 50h and have the declared speeds of reading/record of 10/ Mb per second, and seniors ( and Gbytes) — in general 45h and 8/6. Mb per second accordingly. It is simple to notice, that now Kingston marks cards proceeding from compare sony notebooks speed of record. In general, the given initiative can be welcomed only — last is more critical, than reading. Some seconds at copying photos on kartovode weather will not make plus-minus, and here at shooting speed of a card is already important (if CFK will is capable utilizovat' its opportunities, certainly).
Why I all the same have decided to include a card of the given family in the review? To that there are some reasons :) First, it was interesting to look at behaviour concerning old cards on the new equipment. In the end-ends without it at me for comparison would be only Transcend 80x, instead of less compare sony notebooks high-speed models popular in due time. Secondly, I more than once collided that, in process of perfection of electronics high-speed characteristics of cards predtopovy'h families on the sly raised the manufacturer. In view of that their price thus did not increase, it was interesting to look — whether has prepared us Kingston and in this case for any bonus. Thirdly, the card of the maximal capacity was tested. Models on Gbytes are interesting also in itself, and in case of not the most senior ruler doubly — they cost, as a rule, more cheaply extreme models, with availability on sale is easier, and suddenly also speed will appear sufficient (especially in view of possible bonuses though and the declared characteristics to not tell that absolutely in despondency entered). Thirdly, and this compare sony notebooks most important, the card has allowed prokinut' the bridge not only in the past, but also in the future ;) As the card from other ruler Kingston has been tested also...
Series Ultimate at Kingston is similar to something Extreme from SanDisk — there are cards usual (inexpensive and well suitable not too exacting user), happen high-speed (more dearly, but already with good high-speed characteristics), and happen extreme which, as a matter of fact, illustrate everything, on what the manufacturer is capable. We already collided with card Ultimate of format Secure Digital, now we shall look, that to us in this case promise in the form of CompactFlash.
The ruler includes four cards — 1, 2, and Gbytes. The first variant has capacity unsuitable for the present e`kstremala why it and by way of speed have a compare sony notebooks little offended: only 100h. But larger (including visited at me the maximal capacity in Gbytes) are already marked as 133h, that, in view of marks on speed of record (about what I spoke above) allows to count on very quite good high-speed parameters. The manufacturer speaks about speed of reading in Mb per second and record of Mb per second, that, by the way, though and it is less, than at Apacer, but in any way on % that it would be possible to assume on marks ;) And that there will turn out in a reality — we shall check up.
I shall note only, that in case compare sony notebooks of given cards Kingston offers the user not only itself jelezku, but also, as the free supplement, means for restoration of files — in our unreliable world to lose the information not too difficultly. And not any bezrodnuyu, and full-function (anyway, any mentions about trial'nom character to find out it was not possible neither up to, nor after installation) the version which has been written down on a card. As the given program already repeatedly was described in different sources, and clause at us absolutely about other, here I shall not waste time on the story about its functions :) compare sony notebooks we shall better pass to testing. Only we shall begin not with speed.
As we more than once saw, the capacity of cards of the identical declared volume can differ. In relative calculation it is not strong, however in case of cards of the maximal size each percent makes already mbyte. Not so long ago to historical measures of a card of such full capacity were only dream :) we Shall look, that we are offered by today's examinees from the point of view of Lavalys Everest.
The minimal losses (concerning expected) in case of last card Kingston — it not only the most high-speed, compare sony notebooks but also the most capacious. However, can be was and not most, it appear at me in hands a card from Apacer on Gbytes — to consider, that and differ exactly in times not absolutely correctly (notwithstanding to that all of us learned at school ;)). But as a whole so — losses in relative calculation least for it, on second place Apacer and on the third Elite Pro.
Program Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition 20 2. was applied to measurement of parameters of examinees, more truly, the test of disk stores entering into it.
That — as I also spoke during a way sobachka could podrasti compare sony notebooks :) As speed of data reading Kingston in marks does not specify, without any fanfares the given parameter in Elite Pro has appeared in one and a half time the best, rather than declared. Actually even despite of marks in 45h the card is capable to argue with models on 80h, and easily and easy. Anyway, it concerns updating the biggest size, however I shall not be surprised, if also the smaller models which have been let out recently, to it podstat'. Pustyachok, and it is pleasant :) However rather with high-speed rulers that Kingston, that Apacer, respect any compare sony notebooks more does not cause — they in one and a half time more quickly. In an amicable way should in two, but... Someone could not. Very much can be, that the controller in kartovode could not. Though it all from themselves such modern and high-speed, and cards have all the same appeared even more quickly. So it or not — we shall check up later: when it will be possible to test a lot of high-speed cards of memory. While we shall be limited to a conclusion, that in good conditions it is possible to receive about Mb per second. Very much even it is quite good — noutbuchny'e winchesters all more close and more close, and about mikrodrayvy' it is possible to start to forget (as the prices compare sony notebooks to reduce on fle`sh therefore today already cost gigabayta information in case of stores of different technologies in format CF was made even) easier. And with cards SD 1.1/2. quite sravnimo. Unless MMC essentially is faster, but only separate cards, instead of in mass quantities.
Time of access at reading for the given format for a long time already has no value, and for others there is all less important. Especially in view of that fle`sh-memory to provide its low value it is the easiest, so in absolute calculation in most cases it turns out less than ms. And for the most high-speed modern cards as it is simple to notice ms or even less.
In case of record of a miracle has not occured, though here again Elite Pro noticeably is faster, than it is promised. As a whole it fulfils the declared characteristics, that it is impossible to tell compare sony notebooks about high-speed models that Kingston, that Apacer. Very much can be, that we have rested in kartovod. And, that the most ridiculous, cards have exchanged places — Photo Steno Pro III nominally on mbyte more quickly, and according to the test almost on the same mbyte more slowly, than Ultimate.
Whether so it is important in practice? Fairly I admit — I have rummaged a heap of testings of cards of memory in cameras, but something has not found any sheaf kamera+karta, working more quickly, than skromnen'kaya Elite Pro. In case of Secure Digital has found, and here for CompactFlash is not present. Conclusions? Do ;)
Horror unanimous :) In case of high-speed cards, certainly. At the compare sony notebooks shooting problems such behaviour of cards will not cause — cameras in case of fle`sha know about high time of access for record, so try to bypass it, and files usually enough large are written (poorly to themselves I represent the person buying mnogogigabaytnuyu a high-speed card to thrust of it in an old soap tray and to remove in JPEG), but here such operations as formatting or clearing of a card of contents will be carried out slowly enough. And whether it is inherent in all cards with a speed 120h + or variants are possible — we shall check up later. While there is such sensation, but, nevertheless, on only two models to do compare sony notebooks conclusions it is necessary cautiously :)
In the table below are resulted three tested cards in Moscow, actual at the moment of reading of the given clause by you:
It is possible to repeat a conclusion drawn almost three years ago — cards of memory have ceased to be a bottleneck practically in all spheres of the application. It concerns even kartovodov — it was necessary to manufacturers of controllers to increase for the last speed of work with cards CF as it has appeared, that manufacturers of cards for a long time are ready to it. In general, we had not time to forget about old restrictions as have rested in new. That to speak about productivity of actually digital cameras or the other equipment? Yes, in case of regular series of cards variants are still compare sony notebooks possible, however, as we see, at all the most extreme with ease provide everything, that is necessary. Unfortunately, to test all of a sheaf kamera+karta it is practically impossible, but if you are excited with each kilobyte a second, something similar for the device all the same should be made. And if does not excite enough to avoid only special clinical cases of incompatibility (happens such, unfortunately, at a meeting with each other some controllers), remembering that high-speed opportunities practically any modern high-speed (and at all the most high-speed) cards will be quite enough that speed of work with it has rested against restrictions compare sony notebooks of the chamber.
