by Leave a Comment

One of the big side effects and benefits to memory cards getting faster and faster is that they also get bigger and bigger. Two years ago when the format first started to hit the news, ProGrade announced 1TB CFexpress cards, which have now finally become available. Today, though, Delkin has upped the ante, doubling that capacity to 2TB.

Delkin’s new 2TB CFexpress card comes with 1,730MB/sec read speeds and 1,430MB/sec write speeds, which they say can handle everything up to and including 8K at high frame rates. There’s no word on a price yet, but their 1TB version is currently listed at $889.

It only seems to be available in 64GB capacity, and not the 120GB previously reported, but they are showing as available right now to pre-order from B&H for $129.95.

The release comes just at a time when SanDisk, Delkin, ProGrade, Wise and Lexar have just released their CFexpress cards for order (in the case of SanDisk) or pre-order (everybody else), offering 3-4x the speeds of Nikon’s (or anybody else’s) XQD cards.

A new listing has shown up on the Nikon website for a Nikon 120GB XQD card. It’s listed as coming at some point during September 2018.
