The Longtake card has been rigorously tested to perform under varied real-world conditions, including continuous shooting, power-saving modes, and video recording at maximum resolution and the maximum durations allowed by the host camera. Its robust build ensures reliability even if the card is removed mid-recording, with built-in technology to safely conclude write operations.

For professionals working with large media files, the Longtake 4TB significantly reduces offloading times when paired with USB4 card readers. With sufficiently capable destination drives, a fully loaded 4TB card can be transferred in approximately 25 minutes, substantially enhancing workflow efficiency on set.

By combining high capacity, speed, and reliability, the Longtake 4TB CFexpress Type B card is an essential tool for any professional aiming to streamline their data management processes and focus on creating outstanding content.

Notes:

• RED approval : Longtake 4TB is fully functional on RED cameras, but not ‘RED approved’ at this time. Its specification and capability dramatically exceed the requirement.
• Card readers and performance: We recommend the Prograde CFexpress USB 4.0 card reader. All Macs with Apple Silicon have USB4 as standard, and premium laptops from Dell, HP and Lenovo also have this capability.
