Lexar Professional GOLD CFexpress Type B (256 GB)

This 256GB Lexar Professional GOLD is a pro-tier CFexpress Type B card rated up to 1,750MB/s read, sized for high-bitrate capture in CFe B bodies. Its appeal is largely about value for the capacity. The fit is narrow by design: it only belongs in cameras with a CFexpress Type B slot, not SD-slot bodies.
