Built for Professional Capture

CFexpress Type A media fills an important role for creators who want a balance of compact size and elite-level speed. This ProGrade Digital card is well suited to hybrid shooters who move between still photography and video production, especially when working with large files, long recording sessions, or high frame rate modes. The 240GB capacity offers a practical middle ground for creators who want substantial storage without stepping into larger-capacity media.

Performance for Fast Workflows

With a maximum read speed of up to 900 MB/s, the card helps shorten ingest and transfer times when paired with a compatible reader. Its maximum write speed of up to 800 MB/s supports demanding capture modes and helps the buffer clear quickly during continuous shooting. The VPG200 rating further indicates a guaranteed minimum sustained write performance of 200 MB/s, which is valuable for professional video applications that require stable throughput rather than only peak burst performance.

Ideal for Modern Mirrorless Cameras

Many current-generation mirrorless cameras generate extremely large files from high-resolution sensors, RAW bursts, and advanced codecs. A CFexpress Type A card like this one is intended to keep up with those needs while maintaining the small footprint demanded by compact camera bodies. It is especially attractive for Sony creators who want faster media than SD cards while preserving compatibility with camera designs built around the Type A format.

Durability and Reliability

ProGrade Digital designs its memory products for professional use in the field, where cards may be inserted and removed repeatedly, transported between locations, and exposed to the everyday wear of production life. This card features robust construction intended for dependable use in photo and video environments. For working professionals, reliability is as important as speed, and that is a core appeal of the ProGrade ecosystem.

Refresh Pro Support

One of ProGrade Digital's distinguishing workflow features is Refresh Pro support. When used with a compatible ProGrade reader and software, creators can monitor card health, sanitize the card, and maintain confidence in the media they rely on. This can be particularly useful for professionals managing multiple cards across frequent assignments and long-term production use.

How It Compares to SD and CFexpress Type B

Compared with SD cards, CFexpress Type A typically offers higher performance potential and improved suitability for intensive video and burst-shooting tasks. Compared with CFexpress Type B, Type A cards are physically smaller and often used in compact mirrorless systems, though Type B can offer even higher speed ceilings in some platforms. For cameras designed around the Type A format, this ProGrade card delivers a strong balance of speed, size, and workflow efficiency.

Usage Tips

For best results, format the card in-camera before critical use, use it in devices specifically supporting CFexpress Type A media, and pair it with a high-speed ProGrade or equivalent CFexpress Type A reader for faster offloads. Keeping firmware updated on your camera can also help ensure the best media compatibility and performance. If you rotate multiple cards in production, labeling and regularly checking media health can streamline editing and archiving.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this card, consider a dedicated CFexpress Type A card reader for rapid transfer speeds, a rugged card case for transport and protection, and a disciplined backup solution such as portable SSD storage for same-day media duplication. Professional users may also benefit from workflow software and organized labeling systems for multi-card shoots.
