BH Photo is one of the top photography retailers, so they have good relationships with a lot of the manufacturers, and due to their volume, they are able to run some sales no one else has. E.g. I was able to get the F mount Sigma 35mm f/1.4 at a price that I've never seen repeated (when I missed a Zeiss lens sale there that has certainly never been repeated! - prices on new Milvus line F mount lenses that were cheaper than 'well used' prices - still wish I hadn't missed that one! ah well).
It’s $424.99 now. Wish I’d seen it for the lower price.
@Calson NOTE: you reference the POWER card (not the BLACK card), so that rating is NOT for the critical thing: SUSTAINED WRITE speed (note that the write speed has the word "max" in it). Sustained write speed is the determining factor for things like the buffer depth on the Z9 for instance. It might be able to do sustained 4k video (don't quote me!), but it will definitely not support 8k video. The 650gb BLACK card is $750 atm.
This one? Delkin 2TB on sale at B&H!
Offer ends April 1 !!!!
Yep! I just posted a thread here to let folks know about it. Too much capacity on one card for me, but I can see those who shoot much video using them.
Could this mean the new Nikon body will not use CFExpress B?
it seems unlikely they will move away from it in the near term for PHOTO based cameras
Banish the thought!
I had seen this previously and find it interesting the 256 Delkin Power performed so poorly while the 128 Delkin Power performed so well. Considering all the other Delkin cards performed well, I have to wonder what happened.this is probably the best objective evaluation of card performance i've seen anywhere:

here's all their tests:
it does seem to be the case that different size cards often use different internals, so there are performance variations between sizes. the other thing is there do appear to be different generations of cards, and until recently, it isn't clear how much transparency there was about this so it could be they are from different generations.
yes, they're using a larger buffer. this is an advantage when using slow media because you can buffer up shots regardless of the media speed
Thanks!
It is possible about a different gen card. Generally larger capacity cards are faster than smaller capacity ones, the opposite of what is represented here. The difference here is drastic, considering the cheaper Prime card is also way faster.
The large buffer to overcome slow cards has pros and cons similar to fast cards and smaller buffer. The Z9 clears the buffer instantly when using fast cards where a large buffer and slow cards can take a long time to clear and potentially make the camera unusable while you wait for it to clear.
If you can use an extra card reader, B&H is running a deal with the same card plus a card reader for $50 more. So $250 for the 325 GB Delkin Black card plus the card reader.It’s $424.99 now. Wish I’d seen it for the lower price.
It is £469 including 20% sales tax in the UK - an about 10% more starting point price.It’s $424.99 now. Wish I’d seen it for the lower price.
