Sony 256GB UHS-II SDXC Overview

The 256GB SF-E Series UHS-II SDXC Memory Card from Sony features a storage capacity of 256GB and takes advantage of the UHS-II bus to support advanced DSLR functions such as continuous shutter bursts and rapid shooting, as well as raw and JPEG captures. This card is also well-suited for video capture, including 4K, 3D, HFR, and Full HD video, and can achieve maximum read speeds of up to 270 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 120 MB/s. Thanks to its V60 speed class rating, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 60 MB/s.

UHS-II media achieves its speed through an extra row of pins and while this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-II / V60 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-II / V60. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating. When used in a UHS-I device, this card will deliver read speeds of up to 95 MB/s and write speeds of up to 90 MB/s.

As with most Sony cards, this memory card is resistant against water, dust, drops, temperature, UV light, and X-rays and. Should the card's data become compromised, you also benefit from the option to download File Rescue software for free to help recover deleted content.

Built to Last
With an IP57 rating, this SD card is durable and resistant. Designed to survive drops of up to 4.92', waterproof for 30 minutes at a depth of 3.28', and able to operate in temperatures ranging from -13 to 185°F, the SF-E Series UHS-II SD Card will last.
Fast Performance

Does what it's supposed to do.

Absolutely Terrible. High Failure Rate

By Andrew
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2021-12-07

These cards, simply put, are terrible in my experience. Using them in my FX3, I have had 4 total cards fail. I bought 6 originally in two separate orders from two separate times, meaning that there's a low likelihood that *all* of them are from the same failing batch, Of the original 6, 2 of them failed. Good thing for dual SD slots. After RMAing those, two *more* (one RMA replacement and one of the origins) failed again. Back to RMAing. I'm tempted to go buy a couple Prograde cards just to limit the chance that I will have a catastrophic failure where both my SD cards fail and I lose footage.

No issues so far. Price was right on sale.

I usually use SanDisk Extreme Pro cards but the sale price for the 2 pack was too good to pass up. These upload at 250MB/sec for me, so very happy.

Perfect for my Sony A7R4

By Florin

After purchasing the Sony A7R4, I had to buy some faster cards to accommodate the 60 megapixels files. With these cards, I have faster writing speeds and faster frame rates while shooting RAW.

Doesn't work after the first shoot.

I don't recommend this card to anyone. It's good that I wrote on two cards at once. At the moment, the computer does not see the card at all.

True 250M/sec read speed

By Roy

I don't really need the high write speed. Using this for 4K 100Mb/sec Sony video, but it really speeds up the transfer to the PC. Usually I only buy SanDisk but the price on these was too good not to give them a try. Working great so far.

My favorite Sony memory card!

For me, these are the more reliable cards Sony makes, for some odd reason, I've had less issues with this model than all other Sony cards. I don't do video much, but when I do, this card does a great job!.

Not to be trust

I have had two Sony-branded 128GB UHS-II SDXC cards with failures. I don't trust these cards anymore. I have used ProGear, SanDisk, Ritz & Lexar without problems, but what could be happening with the Sony?

How will this card perform with the Sony Fx3? Will it allow you to record 60fps in 4K at the highest quality?
Asked by: Scott
No it will not. This card doesn't have bad video specs but not what you need for 4K 60fps. You need a card like this that has a sustained writing speed of 90MB/s for that. https://bhpho.to/3l36fEd
