CFexpress Type A card Delkin VGP200 480GB (PCIe 4.0, R1830 MB/s, W1710 MB/s)

Delkin CFexpress Type A VGP200 480GB is a high-performance removable storage card that uses the PCIe 4.0 interface to deliver sustained high-speed reads and writes. With manufacturer-rated sequential speeds up to 1830 MB/s read and 1710 MB/s write, the card is intended for cameras and devices that support CFexpress Type A media and require fast data capture and transfer. The 480GB capacity provides ample room for burst RAW photography, long 4K/8K video clips, and rapid offload to workstations.

Advantages

The card combines PCIe 4.0 bandwidth with a compact Type A form factor to achieve high sustained throughput for recording and playback. High sequential read/write speeds reduce buffer times during burst shooting and shorten transfer windows when moving media to an editing system. The VGP200 is built for professional workflows where consistent performance and reliable file integrity are important during extended capture sessions.

Suitable for

• Burst RAW photography with high-resolution cameras
• 4K and 8K video recording at high bitrates
• Fast media offload and workstation editing
• Professional hybrid photo/video workflows

When it may not be suitable

This CFexpress Type A card is not compatible with devices that accept only SD, microSD, or other card formats. Devices that do not support the CFexpress Type A interface will not be able to use this card. For casual users with low-resolution photo needs or infrequent recording where high sustained speeds are unnecessary, lower-capacity or lower-performance cards may offer a more cost-effective option.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the CFexpress Type A card into a compatible camera or card reader that supports PCIe 4.0 Type A media. Format the card in the host device before first use to ensure optimal file system settings and compatibility with your camera. During recording, verify the device’s supported recording modes and bitrate limits to confirm the card can sustain the selected settings. When transferring files, use a PCIe 4.0-capable reader or a compatible card slot on a workstation to achieve the fastest transfer speeds.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your camera or device supports CFexpress Type A cards.
• Check the device firmware and recording modes for compatibility with high sustained write speeds.
• Decide if 480 GB capacity matches your typical shoot duration and file sizes.
• Ensure you have a compatible card reader or workstation interface to use the card at full speed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, format the card in the camera before first use, keep device firmware updated, and maintain at least one spare card during extended shoots. Use a PCIe 4.0-capable reader for fastest transfers and verify camera recording settings to avoid exceeding sustained write capabilities.
