FAQs

What is the difference between CFexpress Type B and CFexpress 4.0?

CFexpress 4.0 is the latest generation of the CFexpress standard, doubling the theoretical bandwidth of CFexpress 2.0 (which uses PCIe Gen 3). This card utilizes CFexpress 4.0 (PCIe Gen 4) for significantly faster read and write speeds.

Do I need a specific card reader for this card?

For maximum performance and to manage firmware updates, using an Angelbird CFexpress B card reader is highly recommended. Standard CFexpress Type B readers may work, but might not achieve the full speeds or support all features.

Can I use this card in older CFexpress Type B devices?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with CFexpress Type B devices, but it will operate at the speed limitations of the older standard (e.g., CFexpress 2.0 speeds).

How does Host Power Loss Protection work?

It's a safety feature that detects sudden power interruptions. The card immediately saves any data being written to its internal buffer and performs a safe shutdown, preventing data corruption or loss.

What temperatures can this card operate in?

The card is rated for operation in extreme temperatures, typically from -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F), making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.

How do I update the firmware on the card?

Firmware updates are performed using a compatible Angelbird CFexpress B card reader connected to your computer. Download the latest firmware from the Angelbird website and follow the provided instructions.

Is this card suitable for 8K RAW video recording?

Yes, with sustained write speeds of 3150 MB/s, this card is well-suited for recording 8K RAW and even higher resolutions like 12K+ RAW without dropped frames, provided your camera supports these formats and speeds.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by camera/device

Ensure the card is properly inserted. Check if the camera/device firmware is up-to-date and supports CFexpress 4.0. Try formatting the card in the host device (this will erase all data). Test with a different compatible device if possible.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are using a CFexpress 4.0 compatible card reader and a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt connection on your computer. Ensure the card's firmware is up-to-date. Large file transfers are naturally slower than small ones.

Recording interrupted or frame drops

Confirm that your camera or recording device is capable of writing at the sustained speeds required by your chosen resolution and codec. Ensure the card's firmware is updated. Check for overheating or low battery warnings on the host device.

Data corruption or read errors

Immediately back up any accessible data. Format the card using the host device. If the issue persists, the card may be damaged and should be replaced. Contact Angelbird support.

Pros

  • Exceptional sustained write speeds for high-bitrate video.
  • Robust data protection features prevent data loss.
  • Durable construction suitable for challenging field conditions.
  • Ensures smooth, uninterrupted recording for professional workflows.
  • Optimized for power efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the CFexpress Type B card into the designated slot on your compatible camera, cinema camera, or computer reader. Ensure the card is fully seated. For initial use or after firmware updates, it is recommended to format the card within the host device.

Compatibility: This card is built on the CFexpress 4.0 standard and requires a host device (camera, computer, reader) that supports CFexpress Type B with a PCIe Gen 4 interface for maximum performance. Check your device's specifications for CFexpress 4.0 compatibility.

Care:

  1. Formatting: Format the card regularly in the camera or device it will be used with. Avoid formatting in a computer unless necessary.
  2. Firmware Updates: Periodically check for firmware updates using an Angelbird CFexpress B card reader and the Angelbird download portal to optimize performance and lifespan.
  3. Handling: Keep the card contacts clean. Avoid touching them. Store the card in a protective case when not in use.
  4. Environment: While the card is highly durable, avoid unnecessary exposure to extreme conditions. Protect it from direct physical damage.
