Sony SDXC 256GB UHS-II SF-M Tough R277/W150 MB/s

Sony SDXC 256GB UHS-II SF-M Tough R277/W150 MB/s: Keep more footage on one card

Keep a substantial collection of stills and video on one card: the Sony SDXC 256GB UHS-II SF-M Tough R277/W150 MB/s combines 256GB of capacity with read speeds up to 277 MB/s and write speeds up to 150 MB/s. It’s a high-capacity SDXC card for photographers and videographers working with demanding shoots, and its Tough construction is protected against dust and resistant to shock. The 256GB capacity is useful for a longer day of shooting, while the stated write speed is relevant when recording a run of photographs or capturing video. After the shoot, the maximum read speed is the figure to look at when transferring files from the card. UHS-II, U3 and V60 ratings add specific speed classifications for choosing the card around a photo or video workflow. Class 10 is listed as well. This is a clearly specified card for people who need both substantial storage and a high-speed interface; the figures describe its maximum rates, so actual performance depends on the equipment and workflow around it. For work where a card may face dust or knocks as it’s carried and used, the Tough design adds another useful detail to consider.

Capacity and Tough Protection

• 256GB SDXC capacity: The card holds up to 256GB of data, giving you a sizeable place to record photographs and video before moving files elsewhere. That capacity is particularly relevant for longer shoots where you want more storage on the card itself.
• Read speeds up to 277 MB/s: The maximum read rate matters when you’re moving captured files off the card. It’s a useful specification to compare when image transfers are part of your workflow, especially after a shoot with a large amount of material.
• Write speeds up to 150 MB/s: The stated write rate is relevant while the camera records to the card. It supports a workflow involving repeated still captures or video recording, with the actual rate dependent on the camera and recording conditions.
• UHS-II interface: UHS-II identifies the card’s bus interface. It’s a specific detail to match against the equipment and workflow you plan to use, rather than relying on capacity alone when choosing a memory card.
• U3 and V60 classifications: These speed ratings provide further information for photographers and videographers comparing cards for image capture. They make the card’s intended speed class clearer for video recording and other demanding capture tasks.
• Dust protection and shock resistance: Sony’s Tough model is protected against dust and resistant to shock. Those characteristics are relevant when the card is handled and carried between locations, where it may encounter less controlled conditions than a desk or studio.
