Lexar announced a new series of faster CFexpress Type B Gold Series memory cards that offer read speeds of up to 1,900 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,500 MB/s. Previous versions of the card—in capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB—had maximum read/write speeds of up to 1,750MB/s and 1,500MB/s, respectively. New 1TB and 2TB versions have now been added to the series.
According to Lexar, the minimum sustained write speed is 1,300MB/s, meaning they’re capable of capturing 8K RAW video without the risk of frame drops. The new Gold Series card’s minimum sustained write speed is just 300 MB/s slower than the write speed of Lexar’s flagship Diamond Series card.
Lexar CFexpress Type B Gold Series memory cards range in price from $200 for a 128GB card to $730 for a 2TB card.
