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.
