Lexar Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0 Type A Memory Card - 256GB

CFexpress Type A cards offer significantly higher read/write speeds and better sustained performance compared to SD cards, enabling more demanding tasks like high-resolution video recording and high-speed burst photography, while being physically smaller than Type B cards.

This card requires a camera specifically designed to support the CFexpress Type A standard. Please check your camera's user manual or manufacturer's website for compatibility information.

It is best to format the card directly within your camera. Navigate to your camera's menu and select the format option for the memory card. Avoid formatting on a computer, as this may not optimize the card for your specific camera.

VPG-400 stands for Video Performance Guarantee and guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s. This ensures reliable, uninterrupted recording for professional video applications, preventing dropped frames.

The Lexar Professional GOLD CFexpress Type A memory card is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Yes, Lexar typically includes or offers downloadable data recovery software to help recover accidentally deleted files or corrupted data.

Ensure the card is fully inserted. Check if the camera or reader firmware is up to date. Try cleaning the card contacts gently with a microfiber cloth. Test the card in another compatible device.

Verify you are using a compatible CFexpress Type A card reader rated for the card's speeds and connected via a high-speed interface (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt). Ensure your computer's hardware and software are not bottlenecking the transfer.

Confirm the camera's settings are appropriate for the card's capabilities. Ensure the camera itself is capable of writing at the required speed. Check for firmware updates for both the camera and the card (if available).

This can sometimes indicate data corruption or impending failure. Back up any critical data immediately. Format the card using the camera's built-in formatting tool (not your computer's OS formatter) and test again. If issues persist, consider replacing the card.
