This has seen the creation of various grades of CF where the speed of access is indicated by a multiple of 150Kb, so an 8x card has an access speed of 8 x150Kb or 1.2Mb/sec. Regular speed cards are somewhere between 8x and 10x, High Speed is 20x (3Mb/sec) and ultra-High Speed are 40x (6Mb/sec).

Advertised as a High-speed card with a 20x (3Mb/sec) access time with 1Gb capacity and coming in at only £65 from Amazon (and probably less after Christmas!) it was too good a bargain to miss. Equivalent cards from named brands sell for 3 times as much and surely there can't be that much of a difference?
Arriving in minimal packaging but with a typical snap-closed plastic case, it's a pretty standard Type ...

memory cards will function on all Operating systems, including the more popular Microsoft and Apple systems. If you have a different operating system to Microsoft or Apple, then there is no need to worry as it will function on virtually all OS (Operating systems) released shortly before and after the release of CompactFlash Cards.
The X-speed on this Compactflash card as well as on all Kingston flash cards determines the writing speed of the card. The writing speed is simply the time taken for a file or files to be copied onto the memory card. The write speed determines the overall performance of the compactflash card. So the higher the write or X-speed the better the performance of the memory card. The X-speed for the Kingston HI Speed Elite PRO CompactFlash4096MB card is 133x. One x-speed is equivalent to 150 kb's of data transfer ...
