Transcend CFexpress 855 Type B Card

The Transcend CFexpress 855 Type B card is engineered on the CFexpress 2.0 standard using the PCIe Gen 3 x2 interface, providing a dual-lane NVMe transport layer that eliminates the bottlenecks inherent to legacy CompactFlash and XQD formats. The card leverages 3D NAND flash architecture combined with an advanced internal controller optimized for sequential write consistency, making it well-suited for uninterrupted capture of RAW stills and high-bitrate cinema-grade video formats including ProRes RAW, BRAW, and XAVC-I at resolutions up to 8K. The native PCIe backbone ensures low-latency data paths that professional cinema cameras, broadcast camcorders, and high-resolution mirrorless and DSLR bodies depend upon during extended recording sessions.

The 855 series is specifically positioned for enterprise media operations where storage reliability and throughput predictability are non-negotiable. Its thermal management design maintains sustained performance under continuous write loads, avoiding throttling events that can cause frame drops or recording interruptions in field production environments. The card's compact Type B form factor is mechanically robust, with a precision-machined connector housing rated for thousands of insertion cycles, supporting rigorous daily workflows encountered in broadcast studios, OB van deployments, and post-production ingest stations.

For enterprise media infrastructure teams, the Transcend CFexpress 855 integrates cleanly into multi-card ingest workflows when paired with CFexpress Type B card readers over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt 4 interfaces, enabling rapid offload pipelines that keep production schedules on track. The card is available in multiple capacities to accommodate diverse project durations, from short-form commercial shoots to feature-length documentary productions, and its compatibility with industry-standard camera systems from Sony, Canon, Nikon, and RED ensures broad deployment flexibility across mixed-hardware enterprise media fleets.

Ideal for

• High-bitrate 4K/8K RAW video capture in cinema and broadcast camera bodies requiring sustained write throughput above 1500 MB/s
• Rapid ingest and offload at post-production workstations where multiple cards are cycled continuously during dailies processing
• On-location sports and live-event photography using burst-mode high-resolution stills demanding consistent sequential write speeds without buffer stalls
• Enterprise digital asset management pipelines where CFexpress cards serve as primary capture media before automated NAS or SAN archival
• Broadcast OB (outside broadcast) van deployments requiring reliable field media that withstands mechanical vibration and temperature variation
• Multi-camera studio production environments standardizing on CFexpress Type B across camera fleet for unified media handling and ingest workflows
