Lexar Professional CFexpress 4.0 Type B GOLD Series 1TB

The Lexar Professional CFexpress 4.0 Type B GOLD Series 1TB is engineered around the PCIe Gen 4.0 x2 interface, leveraging the CFexpress 2.0 specification to deliver dramatically elevated sequential read and write throughput compared to previous-generation PCIe 3.0 CFexpress cards. The GOLD Series designation reflects Lexar's highest-tier performance binning, utilizing premium 3D TLC NAND flash and a purpose-built controller optimized for sustained, consistent data rates under prolonged recording sessions—critical for broadcast, cinema, and scientific imaging applications where buffer overflow or speed throttling cannot be tolerated.

Targeted at professional cinematographers, broadcast engineers, and high-throughput data acquisition specialists, the 1TB capacity accommodates extended recording sessions of RAW video formats including 8K RAW, 12-bit Cinema RAW Light, and multi-stream ProRes RAW without requiring card swaps mid-production. The card's thermal management design incorporates heat-dissipating materials within the compact CFexpress Type B form factor, maintaining stable write speeds even in thermally constrained camera bodies during continuous recording. This makes it equally suited to mirrorless cameras, cinema cameras, and CFexpress-equipped field recorders.

Launched in August 2025, the GOLD Series 4.0 represents Lexar's response to next-generation camera platforms adopting PCIe 4.0 host interfaces, effectively doubling the theoretical bandwidth ceiling versus PCIe 3.0 designs. The card maintains backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 CFexpress Type B hosts, ensuring investment protection across mixed camera fleets. Its robust exFAT formatting and compliance with the CompactFlash Association CFexpress 2.0 standard guarantee broad interoperability across professional camera ecosystems from Canon, Nikon, Sony, RED, and compatible field recorders.

Ideal for

• 8K RAW continuous recording in cinema-grade cameras such as Canon EOS R5 C and Nikon Z9 for feature film and episodic television production
• High-speed burst photography in professional sports and wildlife photography requiring sustained multi-gigabyte buffer dumps at full write speed
• Broadcast and live event production recording multi-stream ProRes or BRAW video directly to card for zero-latency ingest workflows
• Scientific and industrial high-speed imaging applications where sustained sequential write performance is mandated by data acquisition systems
• Multi-camera documentary production with extended single-card recording sessions eliminating mid-scene card changes
• Aerial and remote cinematography platforms where card-swap opportunities are limited and maximum per-card capacity and reliability are operationally critical
