The Lexar Professional CFexpress Type A Card GOLD Series delivers high sustained performance with read speeds up to 900MB/s and write speeds up to 800MB/s. It is rated Video Performance Grade 400 (VPG 400), enabling reliable capture of high-resolution images and cinema-quality 8K video when used with compatible devices.
The card offers sustained read speeds of up to 900MB/s and sustained write speeds of up to 800MB/s. In addition, the VPG 400 rating guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 700 MB/s, which helps prevent dropped frames during long or high-bitrate recordings.
Note that the stated speeds are based on internal testing. Actual sustained speed may vary depending on the host device. Also, the highest transfer speed is achieved only when used with a CFexpress Type-A reader indicated by a boxed USB logo.
The Lexar CFexpress Type A GOLD Series is designed to withstand common environmental stresses encountered in photography and filmmaking. The card is temperature-proof and resists shock and vibration, helping protect your valuable data during travel and on-location shoots.
Detailed durability characteristics provided by Lexar include:
These cards are available in capacities up to 160 GB. With the larger capacity options, you can capture more high-quality images and longer cinema-quality 8K clips without switching cards as often, which streamlines on-set workflows.
All Lexar Professional line memory cards come with a limited lifetime warranty and are backed by Lexar expert technical support. In some regions, the lifetime limited warranty is limited to 10 years from purchase (for example, Germany and regions not recognizing lifetime warranty).
