Sony is a technology company that is in all. It has high-end mobiles, has a reputation for reputation in the photography market and is present in the homes of half a planet with its televisions. But the Japanese company also manufactures external memory cards, and the one just introduced this time has beaten all the records in the world.

Sony has introduced the new range of SF-G Series SD cards, and with it has been released in the market that automatically becomes the fastest SD external memory card in the world. It is a card that reaches 299 MB / s writing speed (with 300 MB / s read speed), which leaves in diapers the 170 MB / s of writing that reaches the microSD card UFS Samsung or even the 260 / 300 MB / s of the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II. It does so through the UHS-II standard.

This new family of ultra-fast SD cards from Sony will be available in three different storage capacities ranging from 32 to 128 GB, and by its characteristics is clearly intended for professional photographers who need cards with high speeds of writing / Read to quickly transfer files from the camera.

Why can a photographer need a writing speed of 299 MB / s? It is a speed that guarantees the maximum performance in the camera when taking a burst of hundreds of photographs in a row (during a soccer match, for example), as well as being an essential feature to record 4K videos with a high Frame rate per second. This speed of the card, of course, must necessarily be accompanied by a camera to match the circumstances.

This new series of SF-G cards from Sony will hit the market in the form of three different models: SF-G32, with 32 GB capacity, SF-G64 with 64 GB capacity, and SF-G128 with 128 GB capacity .

The company has just announced that this new SD card will go on sale in the coming months. Although Sony has not confirmed the price of this new range of external memory cards, we can get a good idea of its starting price by taking a look at what it costs right now the Lexar Professional 2000x, which until now was One of the fastest SD on the market: 32 GB for 62 euros, 64 GB for 105 euros and 128 GB for 257 euros.
