Manufacturer description

The Lexar Professional 1066x 32GB CompactFlash card is built for DSLR and HD camcorder shooters who still run CF workflows and need headroom for sustained capture. It leverages UDMA 7 technology for read transfer speeds up to 1066x, or 160MB/s, so offloading a full 32GB shoot to your computer takes a fraction of the time a slower CF card needs. It also carries the Video Performance Guarantee (VPG-65) specification, meaning it holds a guaranteed minimum sustained write rate for professional-quality video — the spec that matters when you are recording extended takes of 1080p Full-HD, 3D, or 4K…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Lexar Professional 1066x 32GB CompactFlash Card using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the PC & gaming hardware category. Lexar's PC & gaming hardware lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for PC & gaming hardware of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.
