Barcelona, Tuesday, 4 March 2025.
Exascend’s Nitro Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type B card offers unprecedented speeds and durability, including VPG400 certification for 12K RAW video, revolutionizing high-performance storage solutions for professionals.
Breakthrough Performance Specifications
Exascend’s latest innovation, announced on March 3, 2025 [1], delivers unprecedented performance with maximum read speeds of 3,750 MB/s and sustained write speeds reaching 3,300 MB/s. This represents a significant advancement, effectively doubling the performance of its predecessor, the Nitro CFexpress 2.0 Card [1]. The card comes in two capacity options - 512GB and 1TB [2], catering to professional content creators who require substantial storage alongside superior speed.
Advanced Technical Features
The Nitro Pro incorporates cutting-edge pseudo-Single Level Cell (pSLC) technology, which extends the card’s endurance by a factor of ten compared to traditional TLC solutions [1]. A standout feature is the VPG400 certification, ensuring reliable performance for up to 12K RAW video recording [1]. The card’s innovative low-power design achieves a 25 percent reduction in power consumption while maintaining optimal performance levels [3].
Enhanced Durability and Thermal Management
Built for extreme conditions, the card operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 85°C [1][2]. The implementation of Adaptive Thermal Control™ (ATC) technology, combined with a full-body black aluminum casing, maintains operating temperatures up to 20°C cooler than standard models [1]. The card’s IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water immersion up to 1 meter [1].
Ecosystem Integration and Availability
Complementing the card’s launch, Exascend has introduced a new USB 4.0 CFexpress Type B Card Reader, capable of data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps [1]. This reader effectively doubles the speed of previous generation models [1], creating a comprehensive solution for professional workflows. The product is scheduled for market availability in May 2025 [4], with pricing details yet to be announced [alert! ‘pricing information not provided in sources’].
