Delkin Launches NEW CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 – NOT THE REAL STORY
Poway, CA, May 1, 2024 – Delkin Devices, a manufacturer of flash storage solutions and camera accessories, is excited to announce the launch of their brand-new line of BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 Memory Cards, but that’s not the real story. The REAL story is why you should TRUST Delkin by learning why they choose to use pSLC flash in their cards.
NAND flash is a non-volatile memory chip that can hold data even without power, and it is the heart of all memory cards. Manufacturers have tried to make it more dense and smaller in order to store more data for less money, but the ultimate result is a reduction in longevity and performance. This is quite the opposite of what is good for NAND memory cards. Photographers and videographers need to store photos and videos quickly, yet on a robust card that has longevity.
SLC flash is the most rugged and expensive type of flash due to its incredible endurance and performance, although its biggest downside is high cost and relatively small capacity size. The latest version of SLC that keeps the longevity, but improves the capacity (and price), is called pSLC (Pseudo SLC), which is what Delkin uses in their line of BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 (as well as Delkin SD BLACK Rugged V90) memory cards.
pSLC can read twice as fast as TLC (Triple-Level Cell) or even QLC (Quad-Level Cell), which is used by most card makers today. In addition, it can also be written up to six times as fast. pSLC has a life span between 7,000 and 28,000 TBW (Terabytes Written) depending on card capacity, in comparison to other flash types that only support 300 to 2,000 TBW before they begin to lose data and slow down. Yes, NAND flash does not last forever – something the industry does not talk about.
For the greatest value, a BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 memory card will provide maximum reliability, performance and endurance, compared to other cards on the market. It will even generate less heat, as it programs faster and will run fast longer. pSLC uses 1/3 of the NAND in the card and in all cases has more chips and blocks available. For example, a 4TB card is used to build a 1.3TB capacity BLACK card – the added flash offers more spare blocks, as well as better management to keep the card working at 100% performance. This results in less frequent reformatting.

Delkin's New BLACK CFexpress™ Type B Memory Cards Surpass Nikon Z9 Limits
POWAY, CA, MAY 6, 2022 - Delkin Devices, a manufacturer of flash storage solutions and camera accessories, announced today the launch of its latest version of top-selling BLACK CFexpress™ Type B memory cards. With improved speeds, more capacity and guaranteed full compatibility with the latest Nikon Z9 firmware (v2.0), Delkin’s BLACK CFexpress™ cards offer photographers and videographers a solution that is both reliable and trustworthy for professional use.
Specially designed to meet the data-intensive demands of today’s broadcast, cinema and photography industries, Delkin BLACK CFexpress™ Type B cards provide minimum sustained sequential write speeds exceeding 1240 MB/s, guaranteeing flawless cinema-quality video recording, including 8K RAW 12-Bit @ 60fps (2.6 Gbps) in the Nikon Z9. These cards when used in the Nikon Z9 also allow shooters to surpass the maximums stated in the camera manual, capturing an unlimited amount of high-resolution RAW photos in a single press. The cards are also capable of offloading data at speeds reaching up to 1725 MB/s, ensuring the quickest, most efficient data transfer from card to computer for immediate file access and sooner post-production start time.
“What is the Delkin Difference?” asks Jenn Sherry, Delkin's Director of Retail Sales & Marketing. She continues, “a handful of key things make us rock. Our Delkin BLACK line offers the World’s Best Warranty for memory cards, the cards come serialized from authorized retailers and we offer customer service in four time zones around the globe. No other memory card company offers that to their customers. If you haven’t purchased a Delkin CFexpress card before, give us a chance. I’m happy to take your call personally and answer any questions.”
Each BLACK CFexpress™ Type B memory card has undergone extensive testing to ensure full functionality in today’s high-end cinematic hosts, including ones from Canon® (C300 Mark III, C500 Mark II, 1D X Mark III, R3, R5 & R5C), Nikon® (D6, Z6 II, Z7 II & Z9), Panasonic® (S1/S1R & GH6) and Phase One® (XF IQ4). It is important to note though that CFexpress™ Type B cards are not backwards compatible with either CFexpress™ Type A, CFast 2.0 or CompactFlash hosts.
In addition to their “Lifetime Warranty” policy, Delkin continues to offer a unique built-in insurance policy for their BLACK memory cards, known as the “48-Hour Replacement Guarantee”. Delkin will replace any non-working BLACK card within 48 hours or less (not including weekends), prior to receiving the non-working card. Cards can also be exchanged over-the-counter at any authorized Delkin BLACK reseller.

Delkin Launches 8K-Ready BLACK CFexpress™ Type A Memory Cards
A different form factor than CFexpress™ Type B (physically smaller) yet still capable of utilizing the same PCI Express technology, Delkin’s BLACK CFexpress™ Type A memory cards boast recording speeds reaching up to 790 MB/s for flawless cinema-quality video capture, including UHD 8K @ 30fps (400 Mbps) in the Sony a1. They also support RAW continuous-burst shooting without delay, never missing those precious split-second moments!
“Smaller and even more powerful than SD cards, CFexpress™ Type A memory cards are establishing a new standard for future storage solutions” says Jenn Sherry, Delkin's Retail Sales & Marketing Manager, “With mirrorless cameras slowly moving more into the cinema realm, offering modes that are extremely data-heavy, it has become even more essential to provide a memory card that can meet these demands. The market is small at the moment, but we are optimistic about the potential growth of CFexpress™ Type A and its future adoption in the next-generation of cameras.”
Delkin BLACK CFexpress™ Type A memory cards are also capable of offloading data at speeds reaching up to 880 MB/s, ensuring the quickest, most efficient data transfer from card to computer for immediate file access and sooner post-production start time. Each BLACK CFexpress™ Type A memory card has undergone extensive testing to ensure full functionality and performance in today’s high-end cinematic hosts, including the Sony® a1, a7S III, a7 IV, FX3 & FX6.
In addition to their “Lifetime Warranty” policy, Delkin continues to offer a unique built-in insurance policy for their BLACK memory cards, known as the “48-Hour Replacement Guarantee”. Delkin will replace any non-working BLACK card within 48 hours or less (not including weekends - in the US and UK), prior to receiving the non-working card. Cards can also be replaced over-the-counter at any authorized Delkin BLACK reseller.

If BLACK wasn't enough, Delkin is also offering an alternative option under their POWER line. Delkin POWER CFexpress™ Type A memory cards provide the same pro-level performance as BLACK, but do not include the added benefits of serialization or the company's 48-Hour Replacement Guarantee. These cards have also undergone the same testing as the BLACK cards, so users can rest assured and feel confident that what they are using will work as expected in their camera.
