Sony TOUGH-G series SDXC UHS-II Card 128GB, V90, CL10, U3, Max R300MB/S, W299MB/S (SF-G128T/T1)

An excellent SD card for high-volume professional use
Staff photographer for a Honolulu-based publisher here. These are probably my favorite SD cards EVER. Transfer rate is fast, never had an error message or lost data. Bought my first one about 9 months ago, now have 5 64gb & 1 32GB Tough cards.I use these cards in: Canon 5D3, Sony A7R III, Fuji XT3, Fuji GFX 50R, Fuji X-H1. They are the fastest writing SD cards I’ve experienced, consistently. No, I didn’t time it so it’s just a seat of the pants feeling. But they’re very fast. No issues running 4k/60 on the XT3 and buffer clears FAST in high speed drive modes.Durability wise this thing is literally a wafer of machined aluminum. Its reassuringly solid and jingles like a coin when you drop it on concrete. Its definitely gonna be “tougher” than a plastic SD card but a determined person could still bend one with their bare hands. The real value in these cards (in my opinion) is not the fact that you can submerge them in water or that they are metal. It’s the fact that Sony effectively eliminated the two most common mechanical failure points in SD cards with the Tough card design.Number one is that stupid “Write Protect” switch. Nobody I know uses it, and if you shoot all day, every day and pull your cards in and out of your camera like 4x – 8x a day….well after a year of daily use (and having never once moved the switch at ALL), the write switch will fail and your card ends up stuck in write protected mode even when it is set to read/write. It happens to our Sandisk, Lexar, and Sony SD cards with switches all the time. It’s pure genius they just ditched it. The Tough cards should last longer because of it, making them a better value in the long run.Number two are those stupid little thin plastic guide tabs to the sides of the gold contacts on the bottom of the card. With heavy daily use, those little plastic tab things have a tendency to break off. Usually in your Mac’s SD card slot on the worst possible day for it to do so. The Tough cards don’t have them. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? Your Macbook will thank you. Also, these should last longer for heavy daily users, making them a better value.If you are a hobbyist, amateur or even low-volume professional user, you could save a few bucks, buy a Sandisk Extreme Pro card, and be just fine. The mechanical failues I’m referring to aren’t going to make you lose the data on your card. And there are other cheaper cards with similar water resistance, etc that would give you similar peace of mind. But if you fall into the “high volume” use category, just expense them already. They’re worth it and will save you a few bucks in the long run.Yes, they cost a bit more than other cards. And as durable as they are, they aren’t indestructible. But for heavy, daily, professional use they are worth the money and then some, because Sony fixed two mechanical design flaws found on every other brand of SD card I’m aware of. I’ll update if any issues arise.

Best SDXC card I’ve had!
This Sony tough SDXC is by far the highest quality card I’ve seen. It’s really made out of metal, so it sounds like a coin when you drop it. I haven’t really tested it but it feels very robust! I haven’t noticed though that the card is slightly thicker, as described, but I haven’t had issues putting it into my camer.Great choice, it’s worth the extra money!!

Right now, the only real choice for a pro
**Update *** Still using them… Honestly, I am not sure why anyone would even consider buying a different type of SD card.For me, memory cards are almost a necessary evil. I only notice them when they don’t work, and then I have a major issue. I have had numerous SD cards fall apart over the years. I have used tape to try and put them together, but they are always a risk. Since videos and photography are how I make a living I really can’t afford SD card failures. The Sony Tough Cards are the clear, and most expensive, choice.Notes– As others have noted they are thicker than a standard SD card. I have no problems using them on my computer, but they **barely** fit in some of my cameras.- If you are filming 4k video at a decent quality you will need the 299Mb/s write speed card. It also means that you will likely need several of them! It is crazy, but I have more invested in these memory cards than most of my lenses.- They appear to be indestructible. I have been using them for over a year, and I have never had an issue. I wouldn’t try to snap them in half with wire cutters, but for the most part, they can withstand whatever you throw at them.So while I would prefer to use cheaper SD cards…. but you really can’t justify them if you are making your living with a camera. One thing I will add… understand what you need for write speeds. This can save you quite a bit of money. I have never had an issue with my Nikon D850 (shooting RAW) or my Leica Q2 (also in RAW) while using the 150mb/s cards. The drop in write speed will save you quite a bit of money. However, if you are shooting 4k – go ahead and spring for the 300m/s cards. I get write errors when I use my 150mb/s Sony Tough Cards with my GH5 and Canon HF G60 at higher quality 4k formats.

Muy buena tarjeta de memoria rápida en subida de datos y bajada y los videos en 4 K no tienen esas molestas pausas al reproducir

Super durable and almost indistruttibile. A very high performance and roughed SD card!!! Bit pricy but you always find occasions on Amazon or online to have a little discount.
