Professional DIAMOND CFexpress 4.0 Type A Built for Cinema Rigs

Filmmakers shooting raw 8K and 12K footage have a serious new hardware option in the Professional DIAMOND CFexpress 4.0 Type A card. Available in a single 640GB capacity, the card hits top speeds of 1800MB/s read and 1650MB/s write. Sustained write rates hold steady at 1400MB/s to avoid dropped frames during heavy video capture. Lexar engineered the card using premium pSLC memory capable of handling 100000 program erase cycles. It carries official VPG400 and VPG800 certifications, making it dependable for high bitrate Sony camera setups.

Physical protection on this flagship card is top tier. The chassis features IP68 dust and water resistance, surviving complete submersion and dirty field shoots without issue. It withstands drops from up to 5 meters, 12000 insertion cycles, and heavy vibration up to 2000Hz. Operating temperatures range from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. Lexar includes a limited lifetime warranty for long term reliability.

Specialized layers guard internal data against water, airport X ray machines, unexpected drops, impact, and physical friction. Like the pro media line, the SILVER GO family includes limited lifetime warranty coverage.

JumpDrive A40E and C40E Flash Drives for Everyday File Transfers

Lexar also refreshed its everyday flash drive selection with the JumpDrive A40E and C40E. Both models share identical internal circuitry but provide different physical plugs. The A40E comes equipped with a USB Type A connection, while the C40E features a reversible USB Type C connector. Each drive sports a curved metal body with a built in loop ready to snap straight onto a key ring.

Transfer speeds operate over USB 3.2 Gen 1 protocols at 5Gbps. Maximum sequential read rates reach 400MB/s, letting you transfer bulky video files and large image sets in seconds. Buyers can choose between 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage tiers. The drives run smoothly in everyday conditions between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius.
