Pergear’s New CFexpress 4.0 Memory Cards

credits: Pergear

Pergear just launched a pair of new CFexpress 4.0 Type B memory cards made for professional-grade video recording and high-speed photography. Available in 512GB and 1TB sizes, the cards offer max speeds of 3,500MB/s read and 3,400MB/s write. Where things get more interesting though, is in sustained performance, the number that actually matters when you’re recording high-bitrate video.

The smaller 512GB model promises a minimum sustained write speed of 800MB/s, and the 1TB version steps that up to 1,500MB/s. That’s more than enough for 8K RAW, even though Pergear didn’t go through the official VPG (Video Performance Guarantee) certification process. The cards are also shockproof, waterproof and temperature-resistant.

One thing to keep in mind: no current camera supports CFexpress 4.0 speeds yet, so you won’t see those top numbers while shooting, at least not for now. But transfers to your computer? That’s where Gen 4.0 should save you time, assuming you’re using a compatible reader. The cards work with any camera that takes CFexpress Type B, including a lot from Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Fujifilm. Pricing for the cards is $126.65 and $186.15.
