The CFexpress Type A Tough from Sony utilizes the latest flash technology to achieve write speeds of 700 MB/s and read speeds of 800 MB/s with minimal cache clearing times. The CFexpress Type A cards are ideal for capturing over 1,000 uncompressed RAW images in rapid succession or recording 4K 120p films with high bit rates, especially with the new Alpha 7S III. It features two slots for CFexpress Type A or SDXC/SDHC cards (compatible with UHS-I or UHS-II cards). This allows for simultaneous recordings over extended periods even at high bit rates. Professional media creators can look forward to smooth workflows. The new CFexpress Type A memory cards are also equipped with a heat sink made from a special alloy by Sony with excellent thermal conductivity, dissipating the heat generated during the rapid transfer of massive data amounts. Users can therefore film internal videos in 4K 120p over longer periods. As Tough cards, the new CFexpress Type A memory cards exhibit high bending and shock resistance. Valuable data is optimally protected even with frequent changes in harsh conditions. The standard values for bending strength set for CFexpress Type A cards are exceeded by ten times, and the impact value by five times. Furthermore, thanks to their special internal structure, they achieve IPX7 against water ingress and IP5X against dust ingress, ensuring increased durability. With Sony's Memory Card File Rescue software for data recovery, users can restore accidentally deleted RAW images and 4K videos. An update of Sony's Media Scan Utility diagnostic software allows users of CFexpress Type A cards to receive diagnostics and corresponding notifications when the number of write/read cycles approaches the card's limit.
