The new memory cards are also equipped with a heat sink to transfer heat using Sony’s original alloy with excellent thermal conductivity. This enables users to record for long periods of time even when recording 4K 120p video internally.

With the TOUGH specifications, the cards have advanced bending and impact resistance to protect data. These are five times more resistant to drop impacts and up to ten times more resistant to bending, compared to other CFexpress Type A standards.

Sony also announced the CFexpress Type A/SD card reader (MRW-G2), to go with the memory cards. It provides SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) transfer speed, via its USB Type-C connector.

The CFexpress Type A memory cards and card reader will be available in the Philippines in October 2020. Prices will be available soon.
