These cards come in at up to 2 TB with read/write speeds of up to 1,800/1,700 MB/s and sustained writes of up to 1,300 MB/s so that you are never slowed down. Massive IOPs let you quickly access any and all of your files rapidly. Capture and work with your HD content - videos, photographs, audio, and more - at high speeds, all in a convenient form factor.

Match your artistic vision. Revel in your element. Sabrent hardware is selected for performance, power efficiency, and reliability. These memory cards contain SSD-quality hardware with a powerful controller and fast flash memory for the smoothest takes. Features such as TRIM, LDPC, ECC, SmartRefresh, and wear-leveling keep your storage fast and enduring. Lose yourself in the moment and capture your vision.

Professional users will enjoy the high power efficiency and endurance provided by top-grade hardware. Never miss a shot. Don't be held back by inferior storage media.


Performance | High-Speed Transfers
Our Rocket CFX Type B memory cards utilize dual PCIe 3.0 lanes to reach speeds of up to 1,800 MB/s for reads and 1,700 MB/s for writes to give you the fastest transfer rates possible. Sustained writes with the potential of up to 1,300 MB/s at 1 TB and up, offer enough speed for any type of HD recording. IOPs of up to over 300,000 allow quick access to all of your photos and files.

Capacity | Big Storage in a Tiny Card
Capacity is king, and our Rocket CFX Type B memory cards offer up to 2 TB of space for all of your content. Videos, photos, files, and backups can be quickly and comfortably stored on the go. There's no longer a need to fiddle with a dozen little cards when you're in the field. These cards have the size and performance to keep up with you.



Endurance | Reliable When You Need It
These Rocket CFX Type B memory cards operate with SSD-grade hardware for both the controller and the flash memory. This means high endurance thanks to quality hardware and powerful wear management features such as LDPC, ECC RAID, end-to-end data protection, SmartRefresh, wear-leveling, plus support for TRIM. Never worry about flaky flash memory again.

The Sabrent Rocket CFX Type B memory cards are backward compatible with certain XQD cameras. They also work with card readers at up to their rated speeds. Please visit sabrent.com and register your product for the full warranty.

What are Xbaux memory cards doing in cameras? /s :p

Someday, I'd really like to read a detailed write up on the Xbox Series' CFX-derived memory cards vs. the high-end photo-/videography CFX cards.

BTW
On November 10, 2020, Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and Series S with a slot for semi-proprietary Expansion Cards based on a CFexpress Type B form factor.[44] These Cards only support PCIe Gen4

Sabrent is taking the lead in a lot of niche markets. I really like them, my gen4 sabrent 512gb in my steam deck has been fantastic. I have a sabrent card reader hub as well, which has come in handy a few times over the years

Sadly they screw you if you don't register your item, shouldn't have too.

I didn't know this, I am still within my 30 day window, so I will register my 2230 nvme now, thanks for the heads up

edit: they give you 90 days to register, and it extends your warranty from 1 year to two years.

it doesn't say you have to register to have your 1 year warranty though. I registered anyway, peace of mind for two years is better than nothing

As far as i remember the rocket 4.0 is 3 year and only one if you dont, and the plus is 5 year and 1 if you don't.

I am not even 100% sure if it's legal for them to do it to be honest, but i guess they can as by time you sued them or what ever it would of cost you more.

Last couple of releases for CFx format it seems like 128 and 256 GB cards have been falling out of favour(might be due to both performance and pricing).
I'm using 128GB and 2256GB Delkin cards in my Nikon Z9. I'd only look at larger cards if I were into 8K video.

For Macro photography I rarely need more than 32GB card(for days shooting) and these days for SD cards 128GB seems to be the sweet spot(in terms of value for money). With CFx-B that sweet spots seems to have been moved to $200 512GB cards, and only people I know who tend to shoot that much are birders, event and wildlife photographers.

Are they legitimately worth it? I almost bought a couple older used Delkin mem cards as a boot device in a retro build.
(I know they're SUPPOSED to be an 'industrial' brand, and even their entry-level memory cards are high-endurance)
