Prograde Digital™ Announces CFExpress Type B 165GB Memory Card
The CFexpress 165GB Cobalt Memory Card Enables You To Take Full Advantage of Burst and RAW Shooting At a New Low Price Point
San Jose, CA June 23, 2022, 8:00 am — ProGrade Digital, Inc., founded with a mission to provide the highest quality professional grade digital memory cards and workflow solutions, announces its new capacity 165GB CFexpress™ Type B Cobalt memory card. This new product leverages the same industry-leading design and performance levels of ProGrade award-winning 325GB and 650GB capacity cards – leveraging PCIe, Gen 3 interconnect with NVMe 1.3 host controller interface. ProGrade Digital CFexpress cards provide read speeds up to 1,700MB/s and burst write speeds up to 1,500MB/s and sustained write speeds of up to 1,400MB/s – ideally suited for a broad range of still and moving image capture applications.
“The introduction of this new lower capacity, less expensive capacity point in our CFexpress Cobalt line is ideally suited for still shooters that don’t prefer to store an entire shoot on one larger card and typically don’t focus on shooting video,” said Wes Brewer, founder, and CEO of ProGrade Digital. “These cards are perfect for the photographer that wants the best high-speed burst shooting write performance at a lower capacity and price point than has previously been offered.”
