From a review published on dpreview.com on Monday, 12 April 2004:
"The 1 MB Elite Pro provides a write speed of up to 5.2 MB per second and a read speed of up to 6.1 MB per second."
It sounded mighty impressive back then, so I bought one.
Now Kingston Technology's CF card-flagship is the CompactFlash Ultimate 266X. It has a transfer rate of 45MB/sec. read and 40MB/sec. write. My Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera has a burst mode limit of 10 pictures in RAW mode and 27 in "Large/Fine" JPEG mode. Can it achieve Kingston's write goals with the Elite Pro? I had my doubts, so I tested a 4 GB Elite Pro. It kept up with the burst mode, writing ten 8MB RAW files to disk. If the Canon burst mode had accommodated more pictures per burst, I think the Elite Pro could have probably kept up.
It was not long ago that cameras took eight or nine seconds TO SAVE ONE IMAGE to disc.
The card comes with a listing to a MediaRECOVER Web link. MediaRECOVER is a handy utility designed to help you recover lost or deleted files and restore corrupt files on Windows or Mac systems. I haven't had a disaster of this sort lately, but it's comforting to know there's a tool out there that can take fix it.
One more thing: As of this writing, the Kingston Ultimate 4 GB 266x is currently selling on Amazon for about $80. Back in 2004, the 1 GB Type I CompactFlash Elite Pro card had a MSRP of $349.00. Aren't you glad you're not living back then?
