Lexar Professional CFexpress Type A Gold Series Memory CardFor photographers and videographers pushing modern cameras to their limits, storage speed and reliability are no longer optional — they’re essential. The Lexar Professional CFexpress Type A Gold Series is engineered precisely for that demand. Compact yet powerful, this card uses the PCIe/NVMe interface to deliver blazing throughput and sustained performance in a tiny form factor suited especially for mirrorless systems that support Type A, like many Sony bodies.Whether you are capturing high-frame-rate RAW bursts, recording layered 8K video, or managing fast post workflows, this card ensures you’re no longer bottlenecked by storage. It maintains consistent write performance even under heavy use, thanks to its VPG 400 rating. Its robust construction ensures it holds up under field conditions — heat, vibration, or physical impact.In short, this is a card built for pros who demand uncompromising speed and dependability.Key FeaturesUp to 900 MB/s read speed for fast file transfersUp to 800 MB/s write speed, with sustained write ≥ 700 MB/s (VPG 400)Three capacity variants: 80 GB, 160 GB, 320 GBSmall CFexpress Type A form factor (20 × 28 × 2.8 mm)Robust durability: shock, vibration, temperature resistanceBacked by Lexar’s limited-lifetime warrantyWhy It’s Better Compared to Market OptionsMany cards advertise high speeds but fall off under sustained loads; Lexar backs its card with VPG 400, meaning at least 400 MB/s sustained write — important for continuous video recording.

Always check the manufacturer’s spec.Q: Can I use a Type A card in a Type B slot?A: No — the formats are not physically interchangeable.Q: Why is the minimum sustained write speed important?A: For video recording, you need consistent write throughput to avoid dropped frames. The VPG 400 spec guarantees at least 400 MB/s sustained write.Q: Will I see full 900 MB/s read speed on my computer?A: Only if your card reader and computer port support the necessary interface (PCIe / USB 10 Gbps or better). Lower-speed ports will bottleneck.Q: Which variant should I choose — 80, 160 or 320 GB?A: Pick based on your usage. For RAW burst and cinema shooting, 160 GB or 320 GB gives headroom. 80 GB works for lighter workflows or as backup.Q: Does card speed degrade over time?A: All flash memory degrades over many write cycles, but Lexar designs for high endurance and firmware manages wear leveling to mitigate issues.
