That's good to hear. More quality choices are good to have.

The question really is whether it is the same Lexar. There's very little detail about whether Longsys will keep the Micron QC/QA standards for the brand.

The right buzzwords are all in place...

Lexar has built a great brand name and our vision is to make it even greater,” said Huabo Cai, CEO of Longsys Electronics. “Existing customers can rest assured that the innovative solutions and excellent support that they have experienced from Lexar will continue. The mission to make Lexar the go-to brand for high-performance removable storage continues, and we will expand upon it to offer even more compelling solutions as the age of wireless and big-data impact the consumer storage markets.”

I agree, the corporate speak is all pointing to things being great, but if you dig a bit, you find that Longsys only bought the trademark and existing designs - no Lexar employees or manufacturing know-how transitioned to Longsys (http://blog.jeffcable.​com …exar-my-thoughts-for.html (external link)) and (https://www.imaging-resource.com …efining-quality-in-memory (external link)).

I think I also read somewhere that they also have an agreement or option to buy Micron NAND though I'm not sure whether they're getting the top grade or other tiers.

Won't be the same as before as they no long make their own NAND flash. Micron has never made their own controller either. So Longsys will be buying NAND (hopefully the big 5) and controller (most likely from taiwanese). Optimization options will be limited.

And let's hope they don't buy NAND from a Chinese NAND manufacture in near future.

Yeah it looks like they're the only real maker left for CF. Everyone else looks like they're just a brand. I hope CF doesn't die out before Canon switches to something more readily available.
