Transcend unveils CFexpress 860 Type B card for photography and videography
Transcend has unveiled its new CFexpress 860 Type B memory card, targeting professional photographers, videographers, and filmmakers. The card is tailored for high-end cinema cameras, DSLRs, and mirrorless cameras, offering impressive read/write speeds of up to 1,750/1,500 MB/s. This performance makes it ideal for capturing continuous burst shots and 8K videos, promoting a seamless creative process.
The CFexpress 860 Type B memory card adheres to the CFexpress 2.0 standard, ensuring high-speed data transfer and backward compatibility with selected XQD devices. Its capability to handle 8K RAW video and high-resolution, continuous burst shots without quality compromise is a significant advantage for multimedia professionals.
With a maximum storage capacity of 320GB, the memory card accommodates extensive RAW files and high-quality video content, making it a reliable storage solution for diverse photographic settings. Transcend also provides valuable software tools for efficient memory card management. The free RecoveRx software allows users to recover deleted files, while the SSD Scope software, when used with the RDE2 CFexpress Type B card reader, maintains the card's optimal condition.
