Pergear has introduced a new line of CFexpress Type B cards that not only have fast read and write speeds and large capacities but are also much less expensive than the competition. Pergear’s new cards are divided into three categories: Lite, Pro, and Ultra. The Lite cards offer very low capacities and speeds in exchange for very low prices. In contrast, the Pro and Ultra cards increase performance and capacity at a greater cost, putting them in contention for the best CFexpress memory cards at certain budgets.

The 64GB Lite CFexpress Type-B media from Pergear is the company’s least expensive card and claims to have a maximum write speed of 90 MB/s and a maximum read speed of 300 MB/s. According to the manufacturer, it promises to sustain read speeds of 80 MB/s. However, Pergear’s 128GB Lite card improves on that by boasting a maximum read speed of 1,000 MB/s, and a maximum write speed of 250 MB/s, with a sustained write speed of 200 MB/s. This performance is almost the same as what is expected out of high-end SD cards.

The performance of Pergear’s Lite cards may not exceed expectations, but they are quite affordable. The 64GB Lite card costs $65, and the 128GB card costs $99.

The Pro cards’ performance and price both increase. Pergear’s 256GB CFexpress card, available at this level, ramps up to 1,200 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write rates with the promise of sustained write performance at 360 MB/s. The 512GB capacity card improves by maintaining the same read speed guarantees, but increasing peak write rates to 700 MB/s and sustained read speeds to 750 MB/s.
