What this card is and who it serves

The Exascend Essential is a 512GB CFast 2.0 memory card certified for VPG-130 sustained write performance. It targets professional video workflows that demand reliable capture at high bit-rates and is approved for Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K and 4.6K G2, Z CAM E2 series, Canon Cinema EOS and select Hasselblad systems.

Practical limits of the CFast 2.0 interface

CFast 2.0 tops out around 520MB/s read and the VPG-130 rating guarantees a minimum 130MB/s sustained write. Real-world throughput will sit below the peak read figure and varies with host controller implementation, cable quality and firmware. The card does not support newer CFexpress standards, so it cannot be used in slots that require CFexpress Type B.

Check your camera and workflow before ordering

Verify that your recorder or camera explicitly lists CFast 2.0 media support and VPG-130 compatibility for your target codec and resolution. Confirm the slot is a native CFast 2.0 socket, not CFexpress or CompactFlash. Ensure your card reader and editing workstation can ingest CFast 2.0 media at the speeds your project requires.
