Angelbird just announced the release of two new CFexpress 2.0 Type B media cards. The AV PRO CFexpress cards offer sustained write speeds of 1GB/s and are available in sizes up to 2TB (4TB coming soon). AV PRO CFexpress XT offer even faster sustained speeds and a capacity of up to 660GB. The cards are available now separately or in Match Packs. First announced in 2016, the CFexpress technology promised to offer impressive transfer speeds, but as with every new technology, its adoption in the industry took some time.

It seems that CFexpress is the future of ultra-fast memory cards. Type B memory cards (identical in size as XQD) have been the most used type so far. There are currently numerous camera models that utilize these cards – Canon EOS 1DX III, Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS C300 Mark III, Canon EOS C500 Mark II, Nikon Z6, and more.
