Share

As you know you can finally preorder the 1TB Angelbird Type A card at Amazon US and BHphoto. There is also a Angelbird CFexpress Type A Card Reader and Angelbird Media Tank for CFexpress Type A Memory Cards.

Alex Phan tested the speed of the new Angelbird cards and concluded:

Speed test result.
We have the new top dog in town now. Compare with Sony, angelbird has faster write speed (more critical for buffer clearing) while Sony has faster read speed.

Angelbird: write 707, read 528
Sony: write 697, read 666

Current price line up:

Angelbird 1TB: $499
Sony 160GB: $350
Sony 320GB: $650
Sony 640GB: $1250
Prograde 160GB: $350
Exascend 180GB: $299
Exascend 240GB: $399
Exascend 360GB: $650
Exascend 480GB: $850
Delkin 160GB: $320
Lexar 320GB: $580

Interesting enough, the test above was done using the Sony card readers. If you use the Angelbird card reader the results are clearly on favor of the Angelbird cards:

The difference is explained by the fact that the Angelbird card reader is using gen2x2 usb-c 3.2, while Sony uses gen2.
