I use OWC Atlas Pro SDXC and CFExpress cards exclusively now—very solidly built as one can feel just by handing them (unlike some brands). They have worked flawlessly in every camera I’ve used so far, from Sony to Fujifilm to Hasselblad to Leica to Canon.
As SSDs have evolved over the past 15 years, OWC has emerged as one of the leaders in the SSD space for computers; I have used for years and continue to rely upon the OWC Thunderblade, OWC Accelsior4M2, OWC Envoy Pro, etc products for years now. The breadth and depth of their SSD offerings is second to none, not to mention a huge array of hard drive based storage offerings.
OWC now offers the best photo/video capture solutions out there too.
I had not realized the breadth and depth of the offerings. It’s not just camera cards, but a card + reader + software ecosystem for still photography and video. If you depend on your cards, this looks to be the most complete and wide-ranging solution on the market.
Card Readers
Built into many OWC products, OWC Atlas card readers are also available as standalone readers with very high performance.
Storage cards
OWC Atlas Pro cards are robustly-built physically with the highest quality and longest longevity flash memory. And with OWC Innergize you’ll never have any doubt as to card performance—restores like-new performance every time for no surprises*. And should you somehow wear-out a card’s flash memory, it will tell you that also**.
* A weak analogy is TRIM for SSDs. Not really the same thing here but same type of goal of maintaining performance— Innergize resets the card internally so that all flash and cache memory is just like factory fresh.
** To wear-out the flash memory in these OWC Atlas cards would take severe abuse, such as repeatedly and continuously writing the card capacity for several weeks. In cameras, many years of hard usage would be required.

OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
With an internal power supply, the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock a much more portable dock than most, perfect for video production or anything on the go. And when I tested it, the Go Dock’s SD card reader was faster than the 2022 MacBook Pro SD card slot.
Software
OWC Copy That performs safe verified copies from cameras or media to storage devices. Video production will especially appreciate the functionality, which dovetails with industry standards.
OWC Innergize displays card health/lifespan information, restores like-new performance with a treu erase/restore, and should they be needed, can apply firmware updates to the card.
OWC Software store has many additional software applications around your data.
