We previously reported about ProGrade in February, a company founded by former executives of Lexar and SanDisk, with the mission to provide professional memory cards and workflow solutions for professional imaging markets.
Now, at NAB 2018 in Las Vegas, company representatives presented the CFexpress ™ 1.0 technology with a capacity of 1 TB. The company says in its press release that the first major appearance of this next-generation memory card format “ provides solid proof that the industry is moving toward productization of this new standard.“
Next it says in the press release:
“The CFexpress standard has been evolving for several years within the CompactFlash Association as a successor to both CFast™ and XQD™ formats. We are pleased to be working within the CFA and aside device manufacturers to bring to market this next generation removable storage standard,” said Brewer. “Industry adoption of CFexpress will allow for much higher resolution and higher bit rate image capture than ever before in many still image and video capture devices. Faster offload speeds will also greatly benefit the post-capture workflow through the extremely high read speeds it provides. With our demonstration today, we’ve also been able to show compatibility for the CFexpress Type B form factor with XQD memory cards–showing operation of both card standards in a common Thunderbolt™ 3 reader.”
ProGrade Digital demonstrated performance benchmark speeds exceeding 1,400MB/second and burst write speeds of greater than 1,000MB/second–nearly three times faster than CFast memory cards and more than four times those for SDXC™ UHS-II.
