Into the slot of Sony Alpha and FX

The card is compatible with the Sony a1, a9 III, a7S III, a7 IV, a7R V and the FX3, FX5, FX6 and FX30 cameras — wherever the body offers a CFexpress Type A slot. It records video in the highest profiles these bodies support, including 4K 120p and All-Intra.

No dropped frames, no overheating

VPG 200 certification guarantees a minimum write of 200 MB/s for the whole recording; the 1 TB version sustains 850 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.

Fast offloads, longer battery life

PCIe 3.0 with NVMe delivers 900 MB/s read, so a full card is in the edit suite in 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 −10 to 70 °C and storage from −40 to 85 °C — figures from the industrial storage Exascend builds on.

900 / 850 MB/s

Maximum sequential read and write over PCIe 3.0 (NVMe 1.4); sustained write of 850 MB/s.

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.

120 GB to 1 TB

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