What CFexpress 4.0 brings
CFexpress 4.0 doubles the theoretical bandwidth over CFexpress 2.0 by moving to PCIe Gen 4. That headroom enables higher sustained read and write speeds, which matters when you are pushing high-bitrate codecs or long raw bursts. Current Sony bodies do not yet unlock extra in-camera speed from CFexpress 4.0 Type A cards compared to the best CFexpress 2.0 options. The clear benefit right now is offload performance. Pair these cards with a CFexpress 4.0-compatible reader and file transfers can be noticeably faster in post.
Sony CFexpress 4.0 Type A Card Reader
Sony’s CFexpress 4.0 Type A reader is available now for $150.
Bottom line
These new capacities complete Sony’s CFexpress 4.0 Type A Tough family with the same top-tier speed targets and rugged build. You will feel the advantage most when offloading with a 4.0 reader, and future cameras are expected to tap the full in-camera potential of the standard.
