We finally got the first of the much faster 4.0 Type A cards from Lexar with double the speed!

Current Type A cards have a read speed up to 900MB/s and a write speed up to 800MB/s. The just announced new Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type A cards uses the new PCIe Gen 4 bus and features read speeds of up to 1800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1650 MB/s. UPDATE: Theses cards are backwards compatible but will NOT work at full speed on current Sony cameras. You need extra hardware for this. So hopefully the A7sIV, A7V and A1II will have full support for them.

The new card is not available for preorder at BHphoto or Amazon. And we have no info about the price which I guess will be NOT low!
