Novachips Launches CFexpress Type A 400GB — More Affordable Than SD Cards
Seongnam, South Korea — September 1, 2025 — Novachips, a global leader in advanced flash storage solutions, announces the release of its newest CFexpress Type A card: the 400GB model, a performance-driven solution that delivers more than just speed — all at a price point lower than many V60–V90 class SD cards.
With this launch, Novachips is reshaping what’s possible for creators who demand pro-level performance without the premium markup. The 400GB Type A card is officially VPG 400 certified, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for high-bitrate video recording, including extended 4K and 6K ProRes workflows. Like its larger siblings, it maintains identical reliability, data integrity, and thermal stability, making it a dependable choice across the entire Novachips Type A lineup.
Designed with custom-engineered hardware and fine-tuned firmware, the 400GB card delivers consistent sustained write speeds and exceptional thermal control — even during long-format video shoots or continuous burst photography. It also benefits from advanced over-provisioning, a technology typically reserved for high-end enterprise SSDs, which boosts endurance, improves performance stability, and ensures data integrity over time. This makes the card particularly suited for professional cinema and content production workflows where reliability is non-negotiable.
“This card is the game changer,” said SJ Yoo, Product Manager at Novachips. “For the first time, creators can get true CFexpress performance at a lower price than many SD cards — without sacrificing stability or thermal reliability.”
To celebrate the launch, Novachips will run a special promotion in collaboration with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). The product will be featured in PPA’s September 2025 magazine issue, reaching thousands of working photographers across the United States with exclusive early access offers and educational content.
Availability & Pricing
The Novachips CFexpress Type A 400GB card will be available globally through authorized distributors and resellers starting September 1, 2025. It will launch at a recommended retail price of $140 USD, making it the most cost-effective VPG 400–certified CFexpress Type A card on the market.
