Angelbird built this Match Pack specifically for the Nikon D6. The kit contains two perfectly matched, weather-resistant AV PRO CFexpress 2.0 Type B cards. Together they provide 1TB of total storage (2 × 512GB) and deliver the sustained performance the D6 needs for high frame rates and extended recording spells.
At the core of these CFexpress 2.0 Type B cards sits Angelbird’s Y1 super-processor. It handles RAW and video files and maintains sustained performance across the full capacity of each card. As a result, you get consistent file handling for nuanced image quality when shooting photos or high-resolution video.
Angelbird Match Packs™ are engineered in small production runs. Furthermore, each pair is fully tested and qualified in-camera. This approach ensures both cards in the pack match one another and work reliably with all available codecs in the Nikon D6.
Angelbird includes adaptive thermal management to protect your media against potential damage from camera overheating during long shoots. In addition, the cards provide Adaptive Power Management and Host Power Loss Protection to safeguard data integrity if power issues occur.
Instead of a simple self-service download, Angelbird offers a staffed data-recovery service. If a card encounters physical damage or software issues such as data or file corruption, Angelbird’s professionals will evaluate the media and attempt secure recovery in their lab. The service includes complementary express shipping and a non-disclosure agreement to protect the confidentiality of your content.
These cards are designed for photography, video, and RAW workflows at very high resolutions. The product description states suitability for raw 4K to 12K capture and also highlights that the media maximizes the Nikon D6 image sensor tonal range at ultra-high frame rates at resolutions up to 8K. Thus, the cards support both still and demanding video capture situations.

Question: What does “Match Pack” mean and why does it matter?

Answer: The cards feature Advanced Thermal Management and an adaptive thermal management system intended to protect data during extended recordings and reduce the risk of thermal-related damage when the camera runs hot.
Question: What speeds and resolutions are supported?
Answer: The cards list a maximum read speed of 1700 MB/s, a maximum write speed of 1500 MB/s, and minimum sustained read/write speeds of 1000 MB/s. The product notes use cases from photos and HD video up to raw 4K–12K capture, and it specifically mentions maximizing the D6 tonal range at resolutions up to 8K during ultra-high frame rate recording.
