Perfect timing! Hopefully Pergear sees this video and sees that you sold me on it. I had it in my cart but wasn’t sure if I would commit but bought it after hearing your experience. It’s exactly what I wanted to know - long term heavy use. Not use it for one shoot and call it perfect like almost every CZcamsr does. Thank you!
No, I beat this thing with months of use and used it heavy as a hard drive as well. Buying unknown brands… I’m with you. It would have stayed in my cart. But for me, this thing worked well and I’ll be using it a lot for both camera and external hard drive.
I've yet to try an CFE card in my Sony A7RV because they are too bloody expensive, I'm interested to know if these CFE cards heat up or get hot if your transfferring an entire full card from the card reader to your PC/Laptop. with the SD cards my lexar cards get red-hot and I worry about card failure due to heat damage while transffering at high speeds. Wondering if CFE cards have same heat issues.
with all due respect.... " the speeds are great on it....." No, they're not. they only write at 400 MBs max. It says so on the front of the card. Lexar, Sony, Angelbird and Prograde CFE type A write at 700 or above. I doubt if the Pergear could keep up with a 30fps continuous burst on an a1. Maybe you could test that. Regards Braden
I feel bad for new memory card brands, I will never buy memory from a brand that has not existed for at least 10-20 years and have a large body of work so you can compare durability and longevity of their products.

My Sony Tough 80 serves me so well.
Thank you for the review.
How was the turnaround from placing your order to your order being shipped?
I have a pergear lens. It's nice for the price.

All cards get a bit warm but this hasn’t got hot on me.

400 MB/s is the MINIMUM write speed, not max. The max is 900 MB/s, just fyi
Sony’s minimum is 200 MB’s, so this is technically faster.

They generally all come from the same small number of factories anyways
Did you test only one card from that company?
Yes.
