Sony has announced two new large-capacity 960GB and 1920GB CFexpress Type A memory cards. The two new cards offer read speeds of up to 800MB/sec and write speeds of up to 700MB/sec. Their VPG 200 specification rating guarantees they’ll never drop below 200MB/sec sustained write speeds.

Like all of Sony’s Tough series memory cards, they feature a rugged and durable design. It lets them handle drops of up to 7.5 metres (a little over 24ft). They can take up to 150 Newtons of impact force. And they can perform in temperatures ranging from a chilly -10°C up to 70°C (14-158°F). The cards also possess an IP57. This means they can survive drops in water up to 1 metre in depth for at least half an hour.

Along with the announcement of the new Sony FX30 APS-C cinema camera, Sony has also released two new capacities of their Sony Tough CFexpress Type A memory cards. This expands their existing 80GB and 160GB capacity versions with 320GB and the largest CFexpress Type A card to date from any manufacturer at 640GB.

The new large capacity cards offer maximum write speeds of up to 700MB/sec and sustained write speeds of up to 400MB/sec for the kind of 4K 120fps high bit rate video shooting that the Sony FX30 and FX3 provide. They’re also part of Sony’s “Tough” line, which means they’ve been certified waterproof, dust proof and durable enough to withstand harsh environments.
