Nextorage recently unveiled “Worlds First” VPG 800-Camplant CFEXPRESS Type-A Cards And hopefully they will be available at the end of April 2025. While motion peaks have nothing that has not been seen before, VPG 800 means that cards are certified to maintain high speed in extreme taxing conditions.
The new cards 160, 320 and 640 GB capabilities are part of the A2 Pro CFEXPRESS memory card of Next ascend. They promise a peak read speed of 1,950 MB/s, maximum writing of 1,900 MB/s, and thanks to the continuous writing speed of 1,900 MB/S thanks to the CFEXPRESS 4.0 specification.
VPGOr video performance guarantee, compact flash association (CFA) is a certification provided by the Compact Flash Association (CFA) that guarantees the performance of the memory card. The first version of the VPG certification, called profile 1, was created in 2011 and guaranteed through independent testing that a card could maintain the writing performance of 20 MB/S. Over time, as the quality and demands of the video have increased, the CFA published an additional profile, which reaches the most recent public profile which is VPG 400, which guarantees that a card will maintain at least 400 MB/S right speed without leaving the same frame through its full capacity.
While memory card companies usually always publish peak performance numbers (they are generally printed on the label of the memory card), sometimes they will also publish continuous performance. Nevertheless, this is not a number that is verified by a third party – Next on the next as it says that its new cards can maintain 1,900 MB/s, but it was not verified by anyone outside the company. This is what makes VPG so valuable: it is not only verified by a separate group (CFA), but it also writes a firmware flag on the card that can tell a camera that the card will maintain that performance.
The VPG 800 is brand-new and profile 5, the specification that includes obedient specifications for this, not yet fully valid by CFA members. Nevertheless, the process is expected to be completed in about a month, which is accompanied by Next on the release of its VPG800 card.
According to Next on the research, until February 2025, the official version of the VPG profile 5.0 Test script has not been released, “Next ascends determines in fine prints. Petpixel Confirmed with CFA that this is the case. “However, this final release has been confirmed to pass the test with the candidate version. The product is expected to obtain VPG profile 5.0 certification using the official test script before its release. ,
Currently there is no camera that demands VPG800 performance to unlock any specific features and only a few Sony cameras require VPG200. CFEXPRESS 4.0, a specification can also be said Is out of 2023 But no camera manufacturer is still supporting it and those increased speeds. The CFA is looking forward to the potential demand so that when a camera comes out, this high level of performance is required, the cards will be present that supports it.
The CFEXPRESS A2 Pro VPG 800-Compiant cards of Nextorage will start from 26,990 yen, or approximately $ 180 at the end of April, and Sony A1, A9 III, A7RV, A7S III, A7 IV, FX6, FX6, and FX30 will be compatible with Cameras.
