Today we will present not one but two Lexar products. Both are dedicated for professional users.
Lexar Professional 3600x CFast card is lightning fast card designed for the most demanding users. I bet that most our readers never heard of CFast card standard. This is because only cinema-grade cameras are using it and all of them are dedicated for cinematographers, filmmakers and content creators. What’s more, Lexar released CFast 2.0 card which is designed to provide transfers up to 540MB/s. This is speed of SATA SSD closed in this small CFast card.
Since I’m not working in a film business then it would be hard for me to test Professional 3600x CFast card. Lexar was so kind to also provide Professional Workflow CR2 card reader which is part of the Lexar Professional Workflow line of products. It’s one more interesting product from Lexar so I will add couple of lines about Workflow CR2 reader as it’s really worth it.
