Other World Computing (OWC), a trusted leader in delivering high-performance, secure, and sustainable technology solutions that enhance and extend the life of Macs and PCs, today announced the general availability launch of the latest addition to its OWC Atlas Pro family of memory cards - the 240 GB OWC Atlas Pro CFexpress 4.0 Type A Card. Based on popular demand, this new capacity option combines the rocket-fast speeds users expect from OWC with a more accessible price point, making it the ideal choice for Sony users who require professional-grade performance without the need for maximum capacity.

OWC CFexpress 4.0 Type A Atlas Pro cards are perfect for pro filmmakers and extreme action photographers who want to dramatically speed up their offloads while retaining full compatibility with existing devices. Users experience double the speeds of CFexpress 2.0 cards with 1850 MB/s read speeds through OWC Atlas USB4 CFexpress 4.0 card reader while providing 1700 MB/s write speed for current and future cameras that can take advantage of such performances. OWC's Atlas CFexpress 4.0 Type A cards are VPG200 certified, ensuring they work seamlessly with all existing Sony camera modes.



Like the 480 GB to 960 GB cards, the new 240 GB capacity cards are:

• Lightning Fast - Up to 1700 MB/s write and 1850 MB/s read speeds for the most advanced use cases of professional content creators, including fast burst RAW image sequences and high bitrate video recording up to 8K
• Dependable - Delivers 400 MB/s minimum sustained write speed
• Compatible - Designed for use in Sony Alpha and FX cameras, including a9 III, a1, a7SIII, a7IV, a7rV, FX3, FX6, FR7, and FX30, as well as CFexpress Type A memory card readers and reader slot-equipped devices
• Supportive - VPG200 certified to work with all Sony camera modes and enable the highest allowable settings in Sony Alpha, FX, and FR7 cameras
• Compliant - Fully compliant with CFexpress Type A 4.0 specification and meets Type A 2.0 specifications
• Versatile - Includes Type A to Type B adapter to obtain maximum speed when paired with an OWC Atlas USB4 CFexpress 4.0 Card Reader
• Tough - Impact, bend, shock, ESD, UV ray, and X-ray resistant

"At OWC, we're committed to making cutting-edge technology accessible to everyone," said Larry O'Connor, Founder and CEO of Other World Computing (OWC). "Our new 240 GB Atlas CFexpress Type A card offers Sony users who don't need the highest capacity, a cost-effective option without compromising quality or performance. We want everyone to benefit from the latest and greatest technologies and be able to future-proof their media solutions with confidence."

O'Connor added, "While Atlas CFexpress Type A cards also come in the immensely popular 480 GB and 960 GB capacities, the 240 GB capacity cards are available for $199.99, underscoring OWC's goal to deliver options for virtually every use case and budget." (The 480 GB and 960 GB cards are priced at $319.99 and $519.99 respectively.)

The 240 GB capacity Atlas CFexpress Type A cards are now generally available for $199.99. Please visit: https://www.owc.com/solutions/atlas-pro-cfexpress-cards/4.0-type-a to learn more and purchase.

Price is actually not bad given the price premium attached to this format thanks to single camera making adopting it. Also single capacity SKU is quite interesting choice.

Edit: here is how competion stacks up in +/- $20 range.
