OWC Introduces 1TB and 2TB Atlas Ultra CFexpress Memory Cards

Other World Computing (OWC) announced the expansion of the Atlas Ecosystem with the release of 1TB and 2TB Atlas Ultra CFexpress memory cards.

These 2 memory cards provide 1,700MB/s write and 1,850MB/s read real-world speeds and ultra-dependable 1,500MB/s minimum sustained write speed. They are designed to tackle today’s extreme data needs, enabling professional filmmakers to capture amazingly life-like 8K RAW video with cinema cameras like the RED V-Raptor/XL and Komodo-X and professional mirrorless cameras like the Nikon Z8 and Z9 or Canon R5C.

“As image resolution and color depth increase, recording time decreases. These higher capacity cards are the perfect solution for longer recording times at the highest resolutions and bit rates. The larger capacity points are also incredibly performative, giving us best-in-class reading, writing and workflows optimization,” said Ian Stone, category manager, memory cards.

The company’s quality control process allows users to shoot fearlessly knowing the Atlas Ultra CFexpress cards will flawlessly deliver the speed and data integrity needed when users only have one chance to capture the moment. The cards shrug off the toughest environmental challenges, including X-rays, UV rays, shocks, drops, and extreme temperatures. Shoot, store, and swap with peace of mind that each card has creatives’ work – and back – well protected.

The capacity points complete a full ecosystem of cards, readers, and software. The company does not look to make point solutions, but instead a suite of products that aim to make the creative professionals’ workflow move faster. Innergize works with all Atlas cards to keep them out-of-box fresh throughout the product lifecycle and is a free solution that comes with the new 1 and 2TB cards.
