Nextorage’s New B2 Pro+ CFexpress Card

Nextorage just announced a new and exciting CFexpress card, the B2 Pro+. It is the first ever memory card that is officially certified for both VPG400 and VPG1600 at the same time. VPG (Video Performance Guarantee) is a way of confirming that a card can maintain a specific sustained write speed under strict testing. Cameras rely on these certifications to avoid dropped frames or recording shutdowns during heavy video modes like high-frame-rate 4K or 8K. The catch is that the newer VPG800 and VPG1600 classes aren’t backward compatible, so until now you basically had to choose between older supported modes or newer, faster ones.

That is what makes the new NX-B2PRO+ Series interesting. According to the CFA’s certification list, these cards are the first to merge both VPG400 and VPG1600 into one device, meaning they can keep up with next-gen recording speeds while still working with cameras that expect older VPG profiles. That is a real advantage when you consider that only Exascend has VPG1600 cards incoming, and theirs don’t support the older standards. Nextorage is effectively the only company offering a card that covers both current and future workflows without compromise.

And because VPG certification is coded at the firmware level, the dual-compliance isn’t just marketing, cameras can actually verify and use both modes. The NX-B2PRO+ will ship in 660 GB and 1,330 GB capacities and uses the CFexpress Type B format. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but Nextorage says the cards are planned to roll out in 2026.
