This Exceria Pro 1066x CompactFlash card supports suppoorts UDMA-7 and offers up to 160MB/s read speed and 150MB/s write speed according to Toshiba. It also has the VPG-65 designation, meaning that is supports at least 65MB/s continuous recording to support 4K and HD video. The Exceria Pro 1066x is offered in 16, 32 and 64GB capacities.

Performance
The Exceria Pro 64GB was tested in a variety of USB 3.0 card readers. The highest read speed was found in the Kingston FCR-HS4, where it measured 151.3 MB/s sequential read speed. The write speed was highest in the Lexar Professional Workflow CFR1 CompactFlash Reader, with a maximum 144.5 MB/s sequential write speed.
