These new 600X CF cards raise the bar with blazing fast transfer speeds of up to 92MB/s read and 87MB/s write, which makes them as ideal choice for professional photographers and enthusiasts who use digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras.

For further peace of mind, all Transcend CF cards are comprehensively tested for compatibility, speed and reliability, and also carry Transcend’s renowned international Lifetime Warranty. Now available in 8GB and 16GB capacities, Transcend’s Extreme Plus 600X CompactFlash cards are the definitive storage media choice for any high-end DSLR camera.
