Toshiba Exceria 1000x 64GB CompactFlash Card Review
Introduction
The Toshiba Exceria 1000x is a high performance UDMA7 CompactFlash card. Toshiba offers two flavors of Exceria Compact Flash cards: the top level Exceria Pro 1066x and the Exceria 1000x. While both cards offer high read speeds, the main difference between them is write speed. The Pro 1066x boasts 160MB/s read and 150MB/s write speeds, while the Exceria 1000x has 150MB/s read and 120MB/s write speed.
The Exceria 1000x has a VPG-20 designation, meaning that is supports at least 20MB/s continuous recording of video. It is offered in 32, 64 and 128 GB capacities. The 64GB capacity card is tested here.
Performance
The read and write speeds of the Exceria 1000x 64GB were measured in benchmark tests in a variety of USB 3.0 card readers. The highest sequential read speed, 157.3 MB/s, was reached in the Kingston FCR-HS4. The write speed measured 118.0 MB/s Lexar Dual Slot Reader. In card readers, the write speeds measured about 25MB/s slower than the 64GB Exceria Pro 1066x. Both speeds were very close to those claimed by Toshiba.
