At NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, Sandisk will be presenting its latest innovations in the field of professional memory cards. With a focus on higher capacities, extreme speeds and stable continuous performance, the new models respond to the increasing demands of 6K, 8K and even 12K video formats. The new cards are aimed at professional users who need reliable and high-performance storage solutions. This article provides an overview of the most important innovations and technical highlights.
- New CFexpress 4.0 Type B with up to 3,700 MB/s read speed
- SDXC UHS-II V90 and V60 cards now with up to 2 TB capacity
- Optimized for 6K, 8K and 12K video recording
- Improved continuous performance for stable recording workflows
CFexpress 4.0: Maximum performance for high-end productions
With the new generation of Extreme PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B cards, Sandisk is setting new standards in high-performance storage. Read speeds of up to 3,700 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s make it possible to process even data-intensive video formats without bottlenecks. This is particularly relevant for productions in 8K and 12K, where enormous amounts of data have to be written in a short time.
A decisive advantage lies in the constant continuous performance. While many memory cards lose speed during longer recordings, the performance here remains stable. This significantly reduces the risk of frame drops or recording interruptions. With capacities of up to 4 TB, significantly longer recording times are also possible, which is particularly advantageous for film productions or documentaries.
Availability has been announced for June 2026. Price details have not yet been announced, but are likely to be in the upper premium segment.
SDXC UHS-II V90 and V60: More capacity and efficiency in everyday life
In addition to the CFexpress series, Sandisk has also revised its SDXC cards. The Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V90 cards now offer up to 2 TB of storage space and achieve read speeds of up to 310 MB/s and write speeds of up to 305 MB/s. This makes them ideal for demanding everyday use. This makes them ideal for demanding 8K productions and provides the necessary performance for continuous high-bitrate recordings.
A remarkable value: a single 2 TB card can store over 1,100 minutes of 8K video at 30 fps. This significantly reduces card changes on set and ensures more efficient workflows.
The V60 cards, which have also been updated, are aimed at users who primarily work with 6K video and high-resolution photography. With up to 300 MB/s read speed and 250 MB/s write speed, they offer solid performance for ambitious projects. The maximum capacity here is also 2 TB, which is particularly advantageous for longer shoots.
While the V90 cards are already available, the V60 models will follow in June 2026.
Conclusion
With the new memory cards, Sandisk is demonstrating a clear focus on professional requirements and future video formats at NAB 2026. Higher speeds, larger capacities and stable continuous performance make the new models an important basis for modern production workflows. The V90 series is already available, while CFexpress 4.0 and V60 will follow from June. Prices are yet to be announced, but are likely to be in the premium range.
