Nextorage developed the world’s first memory card supporting both VPG1600 and VPG400 standards

Kawasaki, Japan — November 13, 2025 — Nextorage Corporation (CEO: Katsuyuki Honda) today announced the development of the NX-B2PRO+ Series, a CFexpress™ Type B memory card compatible with both the new VPG1600 and the current VPG400 standards — the first of its kind in the world[1]. The NX-B2PRO+ Series is scheduled for commercialization in 2026. The product has already obtained official VPG1600 and VPG400 certifications from the CompactFlash^® Association (CFA), and preparations for launch are currently underway.

Nextorage has consistently delivered storage solutions with world’s first and No.1 in the world, supporting the evolution of video production. To ensure a seamless transition to next-generation standards, the company has leveraged its cutting-edge technology and experience in developing the NX-B2PRO+ Series. In today’s production environments, performance demands on memory cards vary widely depending on the project and equipment used. By supporting both the new VPG1600 standard and the existing VPG400 standard, the NX-B2PRO+ Series provides creators with a reliable bridge to the future of high-performance video recording technology.

The VPG1600, defined in Video Performance Guarantee Profile 5.0 by the CompactFlash Association on February 27, 2025, guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 1,600 MB/s — a performance level designed to meet the requirements of future high–bit-rate video recording. By also supporting VPG400 (Video Performance Guarantee Profile 4.0), the NX-B2PRO+ Series maintains backward compatibility with current CFexpress Type B devices.

The NX-B2PRO+ Series ensures stable recording performance even when paired with upcoming cameras designed for ultra–high bit-rate video capture.

Nextorage also offers card readers and portable SSDs optimized for CFexpress 4.0 to maximize the performance of its CFexpress Type B memory cards. Combined use of these products enables a more efficient workflow and a smoother content creation process.
