Sony is announcing two new CFexpress type B TOUGH memory cards. The new duo offers slightly faster maximum write speeds compared to Sony’s previous offers. The 250GB card will clock in at 1600 MB/s and the 480GB card ups that to 1750GB MB/s.

Ironically enough, it’s mostly the non-Sony crowd who will benefit from the new 240GB and 480GB TOUGH cards. Type B is absent from most of the Sony line, which opted for the more compact CFexpress type A for the hybrid Alpha line. But if you own a Canon R5, R5C, or R3, a FUJIFILM X-H2 or X-H2s, a Nikon Z 8 or Z 9, or a Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, these cards are worth your attention.
