Sony CFexpress Type A 160GB Memory Card

The CEA-G160T (160GB) uses the latest flash memory control technology to achieve read speeds as high as 800MB/s and write speeds as high as 700MB/s, greatly reducing buffer clearing times for efficient, stress-free shooting. The CFexpress Type A cards are ideally suited for high-speed continuous shooting of more than 1,000 uncompressed RAW still images, as well as 4K 120p movie recording at high bit rates with the Slow & Quick Motion function when paired with cameras like the Alpha 7S III. Compliance with the VPG400 video performance guarantee profile specification ensures stable video recording at 400 MB/s—creating a smooth workflow for professional creators.

Compact Design to Fit Compact Cameras

Smaller than both CFexpress Type B and SD media cards, yet much faster than SD cards, the CFexpress is perfectly suited for compact cameras like Sony’s mirrorless Alpha series. The Alpha 7S III features two card slots, both compatible with SD and the new CFexpress Type A media, while maintaining class leading camera size and weight.

Effective Heat Dissipation to Support High Bit-Rate Data Transfers

The new CFexpress Type A memory cards are equipped with a heatsink to transfer heat generated by the card to the exterior when transmitting large amounts of data at high speed, using Sony's original alloy with excellent thermal conductivity. This enables users to record for long periods of time, even when recording 4K 120p video internally..

TOUGH and Durable

Keeping up with Sony’s TOUGH specifications, the new CFexpress Type A memory cards feature bending and impact resistance to protect precious data, even when frequently changing cards in the harshest environments. Offering outstanding durability, they are up to five times more resistant to drop impact and up to ten times more resistant to bending, compared to CFexpress Type A requirement standards. Thanks to a specialized internal structure, they achieve an IPX7 water ingress protection rating and an IP5X dust ingress protection rating (IP57) for enhanced durability. 

Resistant to humidity, X-rays, electrostatic charges, ultraviolet radiation

Supported by Memory Card File Rescue Data Recovery Software

Accidents happen. Sony’s Memory Card File Rescue data recovery software3 allows users to recover accidently deleted RAW images and 4K video from memory cards. In addition, Sony’s Media Scan Utility media diagnostic software will be updated to support CFexpress Type A cards allowing users to diagnose and receive a warning before the number of read/write cycles approaches the card’s limit.

Supported by Media Scan Utility Software

Sony’s Media Scan Utility, is a software application for desktop computers that diagnoses the state of the flash memory in memory cards4. When installed on a desktop computer, supported memory cards will automatically be diagnosed when mounted, and a warning will be displayed when the number of read/write cycles approaches the card’s limit, giving you the peace-of-mind that the card will perform as needed for your next project. The application will be updated to support CFexpress Type A cards and made available as a free download.  MRWG2 card reader is required for CFexpress Type A card diagnosis.
