World’s first CFexpress Type A Memory Card Supporting VPG800[1]
NAND Flash Memory and is compatible with CFexpress4.0. It is compliant with the Video Performance Guarantee (VPG) 800, expected to be supported in the high-end camera market in the future. VPG800 guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 800 MB/s, as specified in Video Performance Guarantee Profile 5.0 established by the CompactFlash® Association on February 27, 2025. Additionally, it is also compatible with VPG400 specified in Video Performance Guarantee Profile 4.0, ensuring compatibility with current CFexpress Type A memory card compatible devices. It features specifications essential for professionals who capture decisive moments, minimizing buffer clearing time during high-speed continuous shooting.
* NX-A2PRO Series transfers data with CFexpress 2.0 for devices non-CFexpress 4.0 devices.
Takes Your Workflow to the Next Level with Best-in-class Transfer Speed
By supporting CFexpress 4.0, the NX-A2PRO series achieves a best-in-class level of maximum read speed: 1,950 MB/s[2]. When used with the NX-SA1PRO, a CFexpress Type A card reader equipped with a USB 40Gbps interface (maximum transfer speed: 5,000 MB/s), large amounts of data can be transferred quickly and reliably, significantly improving workflow efficiency. The NX-SA1PRO will be also available on B&H website at the same time as NX-A2PRO and NX-A2AE.
Unique Power Saving System: Dynamic Auto Power Save
Equipped with Nextorage’s proprietary low-power consumption technology, Dynamic Auto Power Save, the NX-A2PRO series effectively reduces power consumption and temperature rise during high-speed continuous shooting and high-bitrate video recording. Compared to models without this feature, it reduces power consumption by up to 89%. Additionally, it minimizes the activation of thermal throttling, a control function that suppresses the transfer speed to prevent thermal runaway, ensuring stable long-duration recording.[4]
Durability[5]
Exterior durability is tested in an environment compliant with CompactFlash Association regulations:
Temperature resistance: -12 ℃ – 72 ℃ (operating temperature)
Shock resistance: EIA-364-27A
X-ray resistance: ISO7816-1
Magnetic resistance: tested
Anti-static: IEC 61000-4-2
■ NX-A2AE Series
・CFexpress4.0 compatible CFexpress Type A memory card
・NAND Flash Memory：TLC
・VPG400 compliant
・Transfer speeds: maximum read speed of 1,950 MB/s[2], maximum write speed of 1,900 MB/s[2], minimum sustained write speed of 1,400 MB/s[2]
・Capacities[3]：2,000 GB / 1,000 GB / 500 GB
Advanced Edition with Specifications Essential for Video Production
The NX-A2AE series is an advanced model of CFexpress Type A memory card that adopts TLC NAND Flash Memory and supports CFexpress4.0. Compliant with VPG400, it ensures stable video recording with minimal frame drops, even when capturing high-bitrate footage such as 8K or RAW.
High-capacity Lineup
To support extended shooting sessions, the lineup includes capacities of up to 2,000 GB. This memory card is ideal for professionals and advanced amateurs working on large-scale projects who require high capacity and high performance.
Quick Transfer Large Video Files
With CFexpress 4.0 support, the card achieves a maximum read speed of 1,950 MB/s. When used with the NX-SA1PRO, CFexpress Type A card reader, it enables fast data transfer of high-capacity video recorded over long durations. This helps professionals and advanced amateurs working under time constraints to efficiently transfer large video files and improve workflow productivity.

Specifications
CFexpress4.0 Type A memory card: NX-A2PRO Series
CFexpress 4.0 Type A memory card: NX-A2AE Series
[1] As of February 2025, based on Nextorage’s research. Since the official VPG Profile 5.0 test script has not been released yet, the product has been confirmed to pass testing with the final release candidate version. The VPG Profile 5.0 certification is expected to be obtained using the official test script before the product launch.
[2] Based on Nextorage test conditions. The actual performance may vary with host devices and environments. The maximum performance in the text in the NX-A2AE series represents the performance of the NX-A2AE2000G.
[3] 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. The actual usable capacity (user area) is smaller than the indicated capacity due to its use for system area.
[4] The number of continuous shots and recording time vary depending on the camera model.
[5] All durability ratings are based on Nextorage test conditions. No guarantee is made that memory cards will be damage-free or that data will remain intact under all circumstances.
