DocumentDocumentMemory Card Choice of Professionals CFexpress, Gold and Cobalt Designed for what's next The ProGrade Digital Gold and Cobalt CFexpress memory card families are based on proven, Solid State Drive (SSD), Quad-lane PCIe controller technology that offers both best-in-class value and performance options for imaging devices of the future. Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) host controller interface in the CFexpress standard ensures that host and card performance are optimized for our leading edge CFexpress product lines. All ProGrade Digital CFexpress cards are compliant with the CompactFlash Association, CFexpress 2.0 specificationincluding PCIe and NVMe interoperability compliance. For emerging mainstream imaging applications, our Gold label cards support burst write speeds up to 1500MB/second ideal for DSLR and Mirrorless, full frame burst, shooting. In our Gold label cards, the minimum sustained write speed across the entire volume ensures uninterrupted recording for a broad range of compressed video modes. Our Cobalt label cards can sustain minimum write speeds of 1,400MB/second and allow capture of RAW 6K & 8K video across the entire volume up-to 650GBs of capacity. Both card families provide sequential read speeds of up to 1,700MB/sec. ensuring that offload time is minimized, and workflow efficiency is greatly improved over applications that traditionally use SD UHS-II or CFast memory formats. With specific focus on 4K video capture, one hour of raw 4K video requires a card write speed between 380 and 1,000MB/sec dependent on color depth and frame rate. As shown in the table below, ProGrade Digital offers cards that are capable of capturing even cinema-grade raw 4K video at up-to 12 bits of color depth, and up-to 60fps. 8K Raw video at up-to 30fps is also possible on our Cobalt class cards.

ProGrade Digital Gold and Cobalt cards provide nearly 3x the performance level of CFast cards dramatically improving workflow efficiency. By example, the table below shows a 1 hour, 4K video file of 636GB transferred in just 11.8 minutes from a ProGrade CFexpress card to a workstation using a ProGrade Digital USB 3.2, Gen 2 reader at a real-world transfer speed up to 900MB/sec. Using the ProGrade Digital Thunderbolt 3 CFexpress reader that same transfer would take just 6.2 minutes.
