Every photographer and cinematographer knows that storage isn’t just about capacity—it’s about reliability, speed, and the ability to keep up with the most demanding creative workflows. The Exascend Nitro Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card is a game-changer in this space, offering next-generation performance that keeps up with the relentless pace of modern image-making. Available in 512GB and 1TB capacities, this flagship card is built for professionals who refuse to compromise. Whether you’re capturing 12K RAW video in the field or shooting high-speed bursts in a fast-moving environment, the Nitro Pro series ensures you never miss a shot.
At the heart of the Nitro Pro is its incredible speed. With read speeds reaching up to 3,750 MB/s and sustained write speeds of 3,300 MB/s, this card is twice as fast as its predecessor, the Nitro CFexpress 2.0. It carries the VPG400 certification, a crucial feature for videographers shooting at ultra-high resolutions. The difference is immediately noticeable—high-bitrate footage writes seamlessly to the card without dropped frames, and long-form content records uninterrupted. The best part? It’s compatible with both legacy and flagship cameras, ensuring a future-proofed workflow that evolves with your gear.
Beyond speed, Exascend has focused on endurance. Built with a pseudo-Single Level Cell (pSLC) design, the Nitro Pro not only increases sustained write performance but also extends its lifespan by up to ten times compared to traditional TLC storage. For photographers working in extreme conditions, this is a huge advantage. A 60% faster sustained write speed, paired with 25% lower power consumption, means cameras stay cooler and perform longer—ideal for shooting in remote locations where every battery cycle matters.
Of course, speed is nothing without resilience. The Nitro Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card is engineered for the toughest environments, functioning flawlessly in temperatures as extreme as -30°C to 85°C. Its IP67 rating makes it dustproof and waterproof up to a meter, and it’s also x-ray proof and shock-resistant. The durable aluminum casing protects against impacts, offering peace of mind when shooting in challenging terrains—whether that’s a scorching desert, an icy tundra, or the unpredictable chaos of a live event.
Thermal management is another area where Exascend has excelled. The sleek black aluminum casing works in tandem with Adaptive Thermal Control™ (ATC) technology, keeping temperatures up to 20°C cooler than standard cards. This means no throttling, no overheating, just pure performance.
To complement the Nitro Pro, Exascend has also released a high-speed USB 4.0 CFexpress Type B Card Reader, capable of 40 Gbps data transfers. Designed with a CNC-machined aluminum casing for optimal heat dissipation, this reader ensures files are offloaded at breakneck speeds, making post-production workflows as smooth as possible.
For those of us who live through the lens, where every frame matters, the Nitro Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card is more than just storage—it’s an essential tool. It’s the difference between capturing the perfect moment and losing it. Whether you’re pushing the limits of your camera in extreme environments or simply need the fastest, most reliable storage available, this card stands out as an indispensable companion for any professional photographer or filmmaker.
