Performance and workflow

PCIe 4.0 technology powers high read speeds up to 1800 MB/s. These speeds help you transfer large media files quickly and move through post-production with less waiting. The card also delivers sustained write performance of 1400 MB/s, which supports smooth continuous recording and prevents dropped frames during long takes.

Note that some product descriptions reference a maximum write speed of up to 1850 MB/s in addition to the 1650 MB/s value listed above. Regardless, this card carries a VPG-400 rating that guarantees write speeds will not fall below 400 MB/s, which is critical for reliable video capture.

For even faster offload, pair the card with the Lexar Professional Workflow CFexpress 4.0 Type A Card Reader (sold separately). When used together, Lexar states you can accelerate your post-production workflow to roughly twice the speed of CFexpress 2.0 cards, helping you save time when transferring large volumes of footage.

Durability and reliability

The Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0 Type A card is designed for demanding field use. Lexar specifies multiple protections and rugged characteristics to keep your footage safe during shoots.
