RED PRO CFexpress

CFexpress™ 2.0 Type B

The RED CFexpress Type B card is your key to lightning-fast write speed and seamless, high-resolution image capture. Designed in collaboration with RED Digital Cinema it offers a compact media type that supports 8K recording on your V-RAPTOR 8K/XL 8K and KOMODO-X cameras.

Available RED CFexpress card models:

• High capacity: The 2 TB and 4 TB cards meet all of RED’s quality, performance, and endurance specifications, with comparable performance to prior RED media options, sustained speed performance and a max data rate of 1550 MB/s.

• High endurance: The 660 GB and 1.3 TB cards have the same underlying hardware as the 2 TB and 4 TB option but achieve a further extended lifetime by running in an overprovisioned mode with sustained speed performance and a max data rate of 1600 MB/s.

Tip: the RED PRO CFexpress cards are sold exclusively through the official RED online shop and RED authorized premium dealers.

Optimize your card's performance and lifespan with regular firmware updates. To do that, you'll need to pair it with the RED CFexpress Type B Card Reader.

Get sustained write speed — you can rely on: Experience consistent write speed of 1300 MB/s (1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB cards) or 1480 MB/s (1.3 TB card) throughout recording (not just at the beginning). Capture high-res data without any lagging.

Enjoy smooth, drop-free results: Our Stable Stream™ technology ensures uninterrupted read and write performance across the entire capacity. Never worry about a frame drop.

Experience protection & durability: Built to last this card is extreme temperature, moisture, dust, shock, x-ray, and magnetic proof. Sure to resist what your production game throws at it.

Safe shutdown to protect your work: When your camera’s battery is low or loses power, the Host Power Loss Protection saves buffer files & safely shuts down the card to avoid any losses.

Less strain on your camera battery: This card operates with as minimal power draw as possible. Engineered to keep your camera battery alive as long as possible.

Lower the risk of your gear overheating: Angelbird’s Advanced Thermal Management feature protects card from overheating by going into a low power safe mode when it’s not in use.
