The SanDisk 4GB Ultra CF memory card - 25MB/s 167x is an entry-level option designed for casual photographers or those just starting out with CF-compatible cameras. It offers a balance between affordability and basic performance. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
SanDisk Ultra: Belongs to SanDisk's mid-tier series, providing slightly better performance than their standard lines, but not the fastest.
4GB Storage: This capacity can hold a decent amount of photos for casual use, but it might fill up quickly with extensive shooting or high-resolution images.
CF (CompactFlash): Refers to the physical format of the card. CF cards are larger than the more common SD cards, and were historically used in professional DSLR cameras. Make sure your camera uses CF cards before purchasing this memory card.
Speed:
Up to 25MB/s Read Speed: This is the maximum speed at which data can be transferred from the card to your computer. 25MB/s is a decent speed for basic use, but not particularly fast. Transfers will take longer compared to higher-speed cards.
167x Speed: This is an outdated way of expressing read speed. It multiplies the base clock rate of a CD (150KB/s) by a factor (167x in this case). While not informative anymore, it translates to a read speed around 25MB/s, matching the previous specification.
