What is the difference between professional-level and consumer-level cards?Updated 9 months ago

ProGrade Digital focuses on professional grade memory cards, workflow readers, and software. We put our products through intensive quality assurance to ensure the highest quality products as they reach consumers. 

Performance: Professional photographers tend to be meticulous about their cameras and equipment since their livelihoods, client trust and reputations are riding on how well their gear performs. ProGrade Digital understands these stringent requirements and offers memory cards and workflow readers with the performance, quality and reliability that professionals demand. 

Quality: ProGrade Digital leverages years of experience working closely with professional DSLR and video camera manufacturers to ensure that all cards meet rigorous compatibility and qualification tests. In compatibility testing labs we verify that cards operate within thousands of different camera models. We ensure that cards meet quality compliance to the manufacturers’ requirements, and cards are verified to operate with specific camera models. All ProGrade Digital cards are built to meet the industry standards of the SDA or CFA. 

Reliability: ProGrade Digital performs comprehensive card testing prior to leaving the factory to ensure the lowest possible field failure rate. This is a far more time-consuming and rigorous process than sample testing done by other card manufacturers. By the time our cards hit the market, they have gone through hours of testing. You can have the highest level of assurance that your card will perform flawlessly.
