Into the slot of Sony Alpha and FX

The card is compatible with the Sony a1, a1 II, a9 III, a7S III, a7 IV, a7R V and the FX3, FX5, FX6 and FX30 cameras. CFexpress 4.0 is backward compatible: in a body with a CFexpress 2.0 slot it runs at that slot’s speed, in a newer body it uses PCIe 4.0 to the full.

8K at 120 fps without dropouts

VPG 400 certification guarantees a minimum write of 400 MB/s for the whole recording; the 1 TB version sustains 1 650 MB/s. Adaptive Thermal Control™ stops the card throttling on long shoots, SuperCruise™ keeps the write speed stable and RAID ECC can rebuild even severely corrupted data.

A full card offloaded in minutes

1,800 MB/s read through a CFexpress 4.0 reader with USB4 moves a terabyte of footage to the edit suite in under ten minutes. Smartstream™ balances performance and power draw during long recordings so the card does not drain the body. Exascend backs it with a limited lifetime warranty and factory data recovery if footage is deleted by mistake or the card gets formatted.

Industrial foundation

3D TLC memory, 600 TB write endurance, an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours, operation from −12 to 72 °C and storage from −40 to 85 °C — figures from the industrial storage Exascend builds on.

PCIe 4.0, NVMe 1.4

Twice the bandwidth of CFexpress 2.0 — the first Type A cards to pass 1.6 GB/s write.

Data Retention Plus™

Stored data is refreshed continuously before the natural degradation of flash memory can put it at risk — even under extreme workloads.

Afterburner™

Full performance in burst shooting and fast action; the card does not choke even on long RAW bursts.

256 GB to 1 TB

The Essential Pro Type A series comes in three capacities; this is the 1 TB version with 600 TB endurance.
