When shooting bust, how long does it last with 20 fps??

Amazing pricing, but will this work reliably with the Z8 and shoot 8K30p N-RAW?

Photography life updated their card test page, I think these couldn't hit 800 megabytes per second, so 8k 330p n raw is probably not possible.

Just Google it. I had read the article via a Facebook link
Yes, I've shot 8K 30p N-RAW with the Z8 without any issues. The minimum sustained write speed is 1300MB/s.

Just want to reconfirm that you have the 2TB card?
Photography Life tested the 128GB version and reported that the average write speed is under 800MB/sec. People here seem to think that is the floor to reliably shoot at 8K30p N-RAW. What's the longest you've ever shot at? Is that enough to stress the card to help you draw your conclusion?
Yes, I only have the 2TB cards. I don't think I've put the cards through a real stress test, but I've had no problems.

I think you may be the only one with that card on DPR. The card seems to be outstanding value, but if it can't reliably shoot 8K30p then it's useless. It would be great if you text it.
That seems to be the price range for a 2TB CFexpress Type B card. No special "value."
I should add that the card can hold 29,000 Z8 RAW + JPEG Fine still images.

What? No, especially with faster 2TB cards being much more expensive.
It's a commodity. Six months ago Amazon sold this card for $500 and now it's $380.
Do use 2x 2 TB AV PRO CFexpress B MK2 on Z9 and Z8 since they came out.
Filming only 8K 50 FPS. Having Z8 on Gimbal I normaly start recording once and have it recording till card is full - otherwise it would be much to tricky having Camera, radio link for HDMI Monitor, wireless link to phone and external mic´s all turned on and off on demand.
No Problems at all with these AV PRO MK2. The only way to ruin the recording is to drain the camera battery during recording if - on a really poor battery - the end comes with no warning and no end of file can be written. So during filming I alway have a fresh battery in Z8 and an additional powerbank that can be replaced without any recording break. Z9 ain´t a problem at all, a fresh battery does last longer than I can record 2TB without pausing.
My AV PRO CFexpress B SX 330 GB housing was broken cause of well known fitting issue on Z9, but no data loss and item was exchanged by Anglebird within a few days.

Yes, I bought an inexpensive syringe of thermal paste. For $5.00 I've done two cards so far= and the tube still has enough for a few more.

So, its just the thermal paste and the metal top cover of the enclosure, correct?
