Product Information

Full details

Designed for professional photographers and filmmakers, the Lexar 128GB Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card is an ideal storage solution for high-resolution bursts and demanding 8K RAW video workflows. Its primary benefit is the industry-leading PCIe 4.0 throughput, which ensures your camera buffer clears instantly and file transfers to workstations are lightning-fast. The only caveat is that users must ensure their camera hardware and card readers are fully compatible with the CFexpress 4.0 standard to utilize the full potential of these transfer speeds.

FAQs

Is this card compatible with my CFexpress 2.0 camera?

Yes, the card is backward compatible and will work in most CFexpress Type B slots, though it will operate at the speed limit of the host device.

Do I need a special card reader?

To experience the full 3600 MB/s speed, you must use a reader that specifically supports the CFexpress 4.0 or PCIe 4.0 standard.

How should I clean the card contacts?

If necessary, use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth or a specialized electronic contact cleaner to gently wipe the gold pins.

Can I use this for photos as well as video?

Yes, it is excellent for high-speed continuous photography and burst modes, in addition to high-bitrate video.

What is the best way to format this card?

Always perform the format operation inside the camera menu where the card will be used to ensure perfect file system compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by camera

Ensure the card is fully inserted and check that your camera's firmware is up to date.

Slow transfer speeds on computer

Verify that your memory card reader supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt 4, as older readers will bottleneck the card's speed.

Recording interrupted during video capture

Format the card in-camera before shooting to ensure the file system is optimized for your specific camera model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally fast read/write speeds for efficient post-production workflows
  • Reliable write performance critical for high-resolution RAW video
  • Reinforced construction for long-term durability in professional environments
  • Full backward compatibility with legacy Type B slots

Cons

  • Requires high-end card readers to realize maximum theoretical speeds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your card, simply insert it into the CFexpress Type B slot of your camera, ensuring the orientation matches the guide pins. While the card is backward compatible with 2.0 devices, you should verify if your camera has received the latest firmware updates to ensure optimal stability. For care, keep the contacts clean and avoid touching the gold pins. Always use a high-quality CFexpress 4.0 compliant reader to facilitate file transfers, and ensure you eject the card properly via your operating system software before physically removing it to prevent data corruption.
