Transcend has announced its new CFexpress 830 Type B memory card built for professionals who need fast and reliable performance for 8K RAW video and high-speed burst photography. It follows the CFexpress 4.0 specification with a PCIe Gen4 x2 interface and NVMe 2.0 technology, reaching read speeds of up to 3,500MB/s and sustained write speeds up to 2,600MB/s. That kind of throughput ensures smooth recording, quick transfers, and stable operation even under demanding production conditions.
Available in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities, the CFexpress 830 Type B supports a wide range of workflows from on-location shoots to studio environments. The 2TB version can achieve sequential read and write speeds up to 3,500MB/s and 3,400MB/s respectively, while the 512GB model still delivers impressive performance at 3,500MB/s read and 3,200MB/s write.
Sustained write speeds scale accordingly, ranging from 900MB/s on the 512GB model to 2,600MB/s on the 2TB version. This allows users to shoot continuously in high-bitrate formats without worrying about dropped frames or buffering interruptions.
Physically, the card measures 38.5mm by 29.6mm by 3.8mm and weighs just 7 grams, fitting the CFexpress Type B form factor. It operates between -12°C and 72°C, making it suitable for shooting in harsh conditions such as freezing outdoor environments or warm production studios.
The card runs on a 3.3V±5% operating voltage and carries CE, UKCA, FCC, and RCM certifications. Transcend also includes its RecoveRx recovery software and SSD Scope tool for monitoring performance and checking the card’s health.
The CFexpress 830 Type B is made in Taiwan and covered by a five-year limited warranty, giving creators confidence that it will handle years of demanding use.
With its combination of speed, durability, and capacity, the Transcend CFexpress 830 Type B looks like a smart choice for professionals shooting 4K or 8K video, high-speed photography, or large commercial projects. Pricing and availability should appear soon on Amazon.
