Content creation has come a long way since the grainy footage of the early days of the internet. Anybody looking to stand out in a sea of modern creators needs to produce attention-grabbing, professional quality footage and photography. When it comes to capturing the perfect shot, there’s a wide array of equipment that comes into play. The unsung hero of your workflow, however, is always storage. High capacity memory cards that can offer stable read and write speeds while also protecting your data are an absolute must for any photographer or videographer.
The Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Card GOLD Series is designed to suit the needs of today’s content creators by offering high capacity bundled with impressively fast read and write speeds, all while being performance-tested and backed by a lifetime limited warranty. Lexar has spent 25 years in the industry developing innovative, best-in-class memory solutions to help professional photographers and videographers make the most of their equipment while streamlining their workflow. With read speeds up to 1900MB/s and write speeds up to 1500MB/s as well as a sustained minimum write speed of 1300MB/s, content creators can rest assured that the Gold Series cards aren’t dropping any frames while recording at high frame rates or for extended periods of time even when shooting in 8K.
In addition to smooth video footage, the GOLD Series cards from Lexar are an excellent choice for photographers who are looking for high-capacity cards. With the 1TB and 2TB capacity options, you never need to worry about missing that once in a lifetime shot because you ran out of storage and had to change cards. High-capacity cards keep you and your equipment rolling from the first snap through to final edits. Once you’re satisfied you’ve got the one shot to rule them all, you can utilize the Gold Series cards’ PCIe Gen 3x2 and NVMe protocols to transfer your images and videos with lightning-fast speed. Nobody enjoys waiting for files to transfer, but the speed of the Gold Series cards from Lexar makes quick work of it, allowing you to get more done so you can get back to doing what you really love.
Sometimes our content creation endeavors lead us to some extreme conditions, and at the end of the day you may be concerned about the durability of your memory card. Lexar has rigorously tested each of their products for shock- and vibration-resistance, and the Gold Series CFexpress Type B cards are capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from -10°C to 70°C. Whether you’re snapping photos of your favorite mountain wildlife or filming a winter snowfall, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you’re not going to find corrupted files in place of your favorite photos when you use a Lexar Gold Series card. And, if you do have an issue, Lexar offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty as well as expert technical support.
While the GOLD Series cards are aimed at professionals, you do not need the latest in camera tech to make the most of the next-gen functionality that Lexar cards offer. The Lexar Quality Lab has tested the Gold Series cards with a variety of cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, and DSLRs, and certifies the cards to be backwards-compatible with XQD cameras. This allows creatives the opportunity to unlock the power of next-generation performance without having to shell out their hard-earned cash for new equipment. If you’d like to add the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Card GOLD Series to your camera bag, you can pick one up from B&H Photo or Adorama.
