Delkin Devices has introduced the new Valor PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B, a 1TB memory card focused on speed, durability and US assembly.
Delkin’s new card arrives with a distinctly American identity, featuring a design inspired by the US flag and, according to the company, being assembled in the United States, while also being designed and tested at its facility in Poway, California.
The announcement matters because the Valor PRO is not being positioned simply as another fast CFexpress Type B card, but as a solution for professionals who need high sustained speeds, durability and dependable performance in demanding video workflows, including 8K RAW recording.
Speed for demanding production
Delkin lists a maximum read speed of up to 3700 MB/s and a maximum write speed of up to 2800 MB/s for the Valor PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B.
Even more important for video creators is the minimum sustained write speed, which is rated at 1840 MB/s. This allows the card to meet VPG800 requirements, making it suitable for high-bitrate recording, including 8K RAW workflows.
Focus on durability and quality control
According to Delkin, the Valor PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B cards are not built only to standard mass-market commercial requirements, but to stricter standards that the company associates with aerospace and medical applications.
The card uses an industrial underfill process, mechanically bonding the memory chips to the PCB rather than relying only on electrical connections. According to the company, this improves resistance to drops and vibration.
Each card has a unique serial number, while Delkin says US assembly allows better component control and traceability.
Compatibility and warranty
Delkin says it has tested the Valor PRO with dozens of CFexpress Type B cameras, including models from Canon, Nikon and Panasonic.
The card is covered by a lifetime warranty. In the event of a failure, the company says it offers replacement within 48 hours and covers shipping costs both ways.
Availability and price
The Delkin Devices Valor PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B is available in a single 1TB capacity.
Its introductory price is listed at $589.99 in the US and £529 in the UK.

What we think
The Valor PRO is clearly aimed at professionals who care not only about peak speeds, but also about sustained performance, durability and after-sales support. Its price will not make it a card for everyone, but for 8K productions and demanding CFexpress Type B camera bodies, it could be a very interesting option.
