Lexar 256GB CFexpress Type B Reviews

Revived my R5II! Lexar does it again.

By Brennish
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-19

Some context: I have been shooting on Lexar media for over 10 years, and against my better judgement I bought 2x SanDisk 512gb Cf Type-B cards for my new Canon R5II. They worked for a few months; while getting far-hotter then I expected; until eventually failing to write during a commercial shoot for 4/5 shots. I ended up RMA'ing them and in the mean time dove far deeper down the rabbit hole. I ended up deciding on these new cards as they are rated for higher read/write, offering VPG 400 cert for video and seemingly are better designed then the SanDisk. Hours of tests and a long-form gig later and they are working great. The heat is far less, and no read/right issues so far. Thanks Lexar!

Great performance

Works very well in my R5 - speed is great. I have always used SanDisk but this seems to be a step up.
