SD to CF Express adapter

4 years 3 months ago #672457 by Juan Anthony
I was reading a photographers blog post from last week on FB that said a SD to CF Express adapter was something the market needed and for San Disk and others to jump on it.  

This had me thinking, CF Express cards have crazy read/write speeds upwards of 1500 MB/s+, while SD Cards are ~250MB/s at best.  So how would this even work??  Even if an adapter was in production, the performance would be throttled due to the SD cards restrictions.  

Right?

The performances of a group or chain rarely exceed that
of the performance of its weaker constituting element.

The slower SD and the adapter are both impairing factors
but sometimes top speed is not required, adaptability is.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

No purpose or market for that sort of adapter.  Just my thoughts.
