Lexar 512GB Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0 Type A Memory Card
The Lexar Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0 Type A Memory Card is engineered for professional photographers and cinematographers who need to push the boundaries of their mirrorless systems. Utilizing the latest PCIe Gen 4.0 technology, this card provides up to double the performance of previous-generation CFexpress 2.0 media, making it the ideal companion for high-bitrate 8K RAW video and rapid-fire burst photography. Specifically optimized for Sony Alpha and FX-series cameras, it ensures that your buffer clears almost instantly and your production workflow is significantly accelerated from capture to post-production.
Next-Generation PCIe 4.0 Performance The transition to PCIe 4.0 technology marks a significant leap in media performance, delivering massive maximum read speeds of up to 1800 MB/s and write speeds of 1650 MB/s. This speed allows professional creators to capture vibrant, fast-action shots in high-resolution RAW formats without the card becoming a bottleneck. By doubling the bandwidth compared to CFexpress 2.0, the GOLD series card ensures that even the most data-intensive recording modes are handled with ease, allowing for more creative freedom on set.
Cinema-Ready VPG-400 Certification For filmmakers, consistency is as important as peak speed. This card is VPG-400 certified, which guarantees that sustained write speeds will never drop below 400 MB/s. In practice, the Lexar GOLD series far exceeds this requirement, offering a stunning sustained write speed of up to 1400 MB/s. This allows you to record commercial-quality 8K RAW video or high-frame-rate 4K footage without the risk of dropped frames, ensuring that every second of your production is captured with absolute fidelity.
Rugged IP68 Build Quality Designed to survive the rigors of professional location work, the Lexar Professional GOLD card features an ultra-durable, ruggedized construction. It is IP68-rated for complete protection against dust and water immersion, allowing you to shoot confidently in harsh environments. The card has been rigorously tested to withstand 5-meter drops, 1500G of shock, and up to 150N of pressure. Whether you are shooting in the desert, the rainforest, or a high-intensity studio, your data remains shielded from physical damage and environmental extremes.
Optimized Workflow and Data Security Beyond the camera, this card is designed to save you time in the edit suite. When paired with a CFexpress 4.0 Type A card reader, you can offload hours of footage in minutes, effectively cutting your ingest time in half compared to older standards. For added peace of mind, Lexar includes access to their dedicated Recovery Tool software, which helps retrieve accidentally deleted or formatted image and video files. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this card is a reliable long-term investment for serious content creators.
