Type A. Across generations.
For cameras and readers with a CFexpress Type A slot. Our Type A range includes PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 versions, used the same way; only the maximum transfer speed differs. The card featured on this page is the PCIe 3.0 model.
Type A is not interchangeable with CFexpress Type B, CFast, CompactFlash or SD. Check that your camera’s slot is marked CFexpress Type A, not a generic “CF” label.
01 / PCIe 3.0
The PCIe 3.0 version
The featured card. Rated up to 800 MB/s read and write in any host; a PCIe 4.0 camera or reader does not raise that figure.
02 / PCIe 4.0
The PCIe 4.0 version
Our flagship Type A card, at up to about 1800 MB/s in reference PC tests. Choose it when offload speed matters.
Supported recording modes depend on your camera, its firmware and the card speed each format needs. Our Sony FX3 footage shows a Type A card in the setup tested. No VPG certification is claimed. A card reader is not included. Send us your model and recording format for help checking the match.

Product questions, camera matching and warranty support — a direct conversation with Lambda Grove.
Contact Lambda GroveWhy does this card say PCIe 3.0, not CFexpress 3.0?
PCIe 3.0 is the card’s interface. There is no CFexpress 3.0 specification, and PCIe 3.0 cards like this one belong to CFexpress 2.0. Some shops list them as “CFexpress 3.0”. Our CFexpress Type A Memory Card - PCIe 4.0 uses the CFexpress 4.0 standard. Both are CFexpress Type A cards for cameras and readers with a CFexpress Type A slot.
Is the PCIe 3.0 card used differently from the PCIe 4.0 card?
No. Both are CFexpress Type A and are used the same way in cameras and readers with a CFexpress Type A slot. This card is rated up to 800 MB/s, and the PCIe 4.0 card is faster. Recording modes still depend on your camera’s firmware and media requirements. Type A is not Type B, CFast or CompactFlash.
Will it go faster in a PCIe 4.0 reader?
No. This card is rated up to 800 MB/s whatever the host. A CFexpress 4.0 Type A reader still works with it.
Which cameras take this card?
Cameras and readers with a CFexpress Type A slot, today mainly Sony Alpha and Cinema Line bodies. Our demonstrations use a Sony FX3. If you are unsure, send us your camera model and recording format and we will help you check.
What does the test video show?
The Sony FX3 clips demonstrate a Type A card and the recording setup used, not every camera or mode. You receive your order's test report and full packing video; a test video is supplied where available.
What warranty is included?
This CFexpress Type A card has a five-year limited warranty from delivery for covered defects under normal use. CFexpress Type A and Type B cards both carry five years; other products have a 180-day limited warranty. Read the full warranty policy below or contact info@lambdagrove.com.
Can I return it if it does not suit my camera?
You can ask for a change-of-mind return within 14 calendar days after your order is delivered. Written approval and an RMA number are needed before you send anything back, and an approved return of a non-defective item has a 15% restocking fee where the law allows. A card that matches its description but does not suit your camera is not a warranty defect, so check your slot and recording format first, or ask us.
