[Leica] I'm A Nikon Shooter Again - MARK in HNY

[Mark Rabiner]

Sorry Mark your read and write speeds for you new XQD cards are  440 MB/s, not 200 as you thought you remembered.
Other Mark.

Thanks Other Mark! My other slot has a more traditional SD card but a real fast and large one:
SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-II SDXC Memory Card 
MFR # SDSDXPK-128G-ANCIN
Its 300 MB/s whole the XQD card in the other slot is 400 MB/s. Comparable but not comparable technologies.
Interestingly the Sandisk SD card cost 50 bucks more than the faster and almost same sized XQD Sony. ?!?
The sony is a 120gb. The Sandisk is a 128gb.
I think XQD cards being  sold are lonely. People are not ready to accept them yet. They think they are upstarts.
Or they are too cheap to have to buy a new reader.
My XQD card I use now is this:  Sony 120GB G Series XQD Memory Card  MFR # QD-G120F

The files I’m shooting now are forty something megebites’s each and are a smaller than typical 20 megapixels. Typical being I think 24 megapixels.
The 20 megapixels spec is always used in the Leica priced D5 announced the same day three years ago, January.

    I had to get a reader to read the XQD card both the reader and the card are made by Sony. Cost around 75 bucks I think. 
    The second slot in the reader takes SSDs cards but real fast ones like the other card a fast and big  Sandisk I got for my new D500 Nikon Camera.
    My new cards are 200 fast while the ones in my D750 were 95. So it's almost as much of a whole new ballgame in that respect.
    
    I'm trying to wrap my head around the developing technologies  for storage in cameras the SD and compact flash is a twenty year old technology. It seems people think that flash and SSD solid state drives are the same but it just ain't true. I just read a big thing to try to figure it all out.

        That is not an SD card, it is a 2.5-inch SATA SSD disk drive, designed 
        to go into laptop and server computers.
