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 8 GB and 16 GB capacities, Transcend's Extreme Plus 600X CompactFlash cards are the definitive storage media choice for any high-end DSLR camera.

"92 MB/s read and 87 MB/s write" is faster than 600X....

Oh'wells I suppose rather under-state your performance & leave room to impress.

At least we are FINALLY seeing an actual improvement in this kind of technology, good on 'ya Transcend.

Now... if you can just get around to doing this in SDHC...

Edit : Although that may be useless on current USB2, USB3 is Just around the corner :]

Bout time we got speed-competitive flash media. While this could mean bigger bursts for dslr users and less time wasted, this could easily mean SSDs in tons more computing applications.

Well what I'm really waiting for is those front panel card readers, you know the ones that fit in the "long forgotten" floppy drive bays? - Yeah - Those on a SATA bus...

C'mon guys (Transcend ... Brando... Adata... ) do your homework :P
