Even if it's not the good old Lexar, these CFexpress Type B cards (like XQD too) are much less prone to fail, so this means more options for us and more competition. I'm still using a fast uhs-I SD card, that's the speed limit of my DSLR anyway, but probably sooner or later I'll have to make the transition to those EVIL (="mirrorless") cameras...

Even though larger form factors means less prone to "failure" looking at user reviews paint quite a bizarre picture. Apart from corruption of files, failed cases, overheating cards along with complaints of compatibility issues(early adopter issues) with cameras with firmware upgrades from both Camera makers and card makers(Angelbird with requirement of using OEM reader to upgrade firmware).

The worlds highest advertised peak speeds, these aren't the actual sustained speeds, so you'll find these cards will still get trounced by ProGrade Cobalt's in real world testing. Stop spouting PR BS.
