Photographer's Point Of view

I consder myself to be an enthusiast/hobbiest photogrpaher. Gear matters to me, as do fast SD cards. This is a UHS-II SD card, and Sony has taken steps to beef up its design. They even named this the TOUGH SD card.

It slightly feels more substantial than "normal" SD cards. It feels less flimsy. It has no ribs to break off near the gold contacts. It also lacks the write-protect switch, which I have never used. For me, it won't be missed.

As for speed, the marketed speed is up to 300 MB/s read and 299 MB/s writes. Keep in mind, that Sony is charging a premium for these cards. You have to ask yourself if you really, really need the added durability. You can buy less expensive Sony cards with the same read/write speeds. I own those cards and have been satisfied with them. My most recent memory card purchases have been Sony cards just because I wanted to try an alternative to Sandisk. I have not been disappointed by Sony in my Fuji XT-2.

So it really comes down to durability. Are you a pro shooting in the worst possible conditions? Have you ever broken an SD card? Then perhaps this is the right card for you.

Tight fit in some SD Card Readers
by Jim (4 out of 5 stars)

Purchased 64 GB Sony Tough Card along with a Satechi Type-C Aluminum UHS-II Micro/SD Card Reader Adapter. Tested the Satechi with a 95 MBps SanDisk Extreme Pro UHSI card first, all good (write speeds around 85 MBps). Card was removed easily. Next tested with Tough Card, write speeds around 240 MBps on my Lenovo T480 laptop. Card would not eject - stayed about 2/3 inserted and would not budge. Scared me, as these cards are super expensive. After considering the options, including destroying the Satechi to save the Tough Card, I decided to just pull hard on the Tough Card and it came out. Inspection of the card revealed no plastic burrs or bumps, however I did notice the card has an extra plastic piece on its underside, below the connections. This makes the card slightly thicker than a standard SD card, and that was the culprit here. Sony put a 45 degree taper on the leading edge of that extra plastic piece, no doubt because they realized some card readers might want to get stuck. So if you run into this issue, just pull firmly on the card and it will come out. After this first-time issue, I carefully reinserted and removed the card several times and it now works just fine. Minus one star because of the fit issue, and write speed fell 20% below claimed value.

Fast and Expensive
by Jonah Willis (4 out of 5 stars)

This card is fast... Like really fast and very reliable. I have it in my A7iii and have never had any issues with buffering or slow loading. Transfer speeds to my Computers/iPad are faster than all my other cards. I would recommend the "Tough" over the regular since it was only about $10 more when I bought it. This card is not for everyone. If you have a camera that accepts UHS-II cards like this, its great. If you don't I wouldn't even bother. Plus its ridiculously expensive for an SD card. For the high price you get a far more reliable card so you get what you pay for. Like all Sony things. That is the only reason I purchased this item.

I've had another brand split open...
by suburban boy (5 out of 5 stars)

I have been using SD cards for some time in my Olympus cameras. I used to think that SD cards were the same if their data transfer rate was the same. Not so... My Transcend cards are like flimsy cardboard compared to this Sony. I have had them "pop" open, or the write protect slider "pop" off. When I shipped them to Transcend for warranty replacement because they popped open, they returned the broken cards to me stating I abused them. They were so flimsy that when in haste, I pressed them into the memory card slot quickly, they broke. These cards are considerably stronger, and extremely fast as well.

Card stuck in first attempt in Sony's own card reader.
by Ozturk (4 out of 5 stars)

I'm lucky as I just want to control it in card reader to see the capacity or check any file inside of it before put it my new Nikon D850. Card is just stuck in there and thanks to amazon for return together. I wonder what Sony engineers think about on the issue as card and reader from same brand. It's also the first sd card inside to reader.

Edit: after read a review here I decided not to return and try to pull it out. I used a thin hard plastic and pull it in under the disc then pull them out together. Everything was fine and in my second try the stuck problem was gone. I got a risk to put in to D850s slot but there was no problem even in my first try.

Safety
by Jack Edwards (4 out of 5 stars)

I had an Sd card stick in my NIKON D800 had to send it back to NIKON and it cost 650 to repair I learned that if they chip or bend and get stuck they replace the motherboard and card reader because they are attached

So I ordered this one but I am not sure about it yet I have used it but because it's one solid peace and a little thicker then the normal ones it seems tight when taken out of the cameras

My repair man says it looks fine and it's just that it's thicker but I am cautious because of the past

This card is a little thicker and a lot sturdier than other SD cards but fits just fine in my camera (Sony RX10 GenIV). It is indeed very fast although that's more my subjective feeling rather than through empiric testing. One small issue - I have an SD card to iPhone lightning connector adapter which works with smaller capacity (or maybe slower) cards, but doesn't work with this one. It fits, but does't transfer data. It's a small point, but just as an FYI.

SONY TOUGH race car fast!
by The Good Doctor!,Top Contributor: Photography (5 out of 5 stars)

It's difficult to discern the "Tough' aspect of the card just by looking at it. However; when you feel it in your hand or slide it into your card slot of your camera, then you know. In fact, it is slightly more difficult to insert than normal cards. I have the 300/299 128GB card and it indeed is blazing in my SONY DSC RX10 M4 camera. I ONLY USE SONY cards now, not because I have a SONY camera, but because the just seem to have the speed and reliability I require. I cannot have buffering and a the high resolution and frame rate I often use, it still does not buffer.

Did not receive what I paid for!

I ordered an open box/like new Sony Tough 128GB SDXC card, one of the most expensive memory cards on the market today. The box I received was for that card, but unfortunately the actual card in the box was a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB card, which sells for a fraction of the card I paid for. Unbelievable...and I needed this card for a trip I am about to take!

The box was opened before and repacked. You can see the wrapper in the pictures usploaded. The card was used by someone. Very disappointed.
