Pros & Cons
Pros
Nikon-branded XQD card for the D850, D500, Z6 and Z7.
Cons
XQD is a legacy format. CFexpress Type B fits the same slots on most of these cameras after a firmware update.
Alternatives to Consider
CFexpress Type B cards are faster, easier to find, and work in the same slots on most Nikon bodies after a firmware update. Buy XQD only if your camera lacks CFexpress support.
