⚡ Exceptional CFexpress 4 Performance

The CEA-G240T uses the CFexpress 4 standard and advanced flash-memory control to provide:

• Read speeds up to 1800 MB/s

• Write speeds up to 1700 MB/s

Fast write performance helps compatible cameras clear their buffers efficiently during extended high-resolution bursts. The card’s read speed can greatly reduce the time required to transfer large RAW photo sequences and high-bitrate video files to a computer.

Maximum transfer speeds require compatible CFexpress 4 equipment, such as Sony’s optional MRW-G3 reader. Actual speed varies according to the camera, reader, computer and operating conditions.

🎬 VPG400-Certified Video Recording

VPG400 certification guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s when used with compatible equipment.

This dependable sustained performance is especially important for professional video modes that generate a continuous stream of data, including high-bitrate 4K recording and slow-motion capture. It helps reduce the risk of interrupted recording or dropped frames during important takes.

📸 Built for High-Speed Photography

Modern Sony cameras can produce large amounts of data during high-resolution RAW bursts and rapid continuous shooting. The CEA-G240T is engineered to maintain consistent writing performance so compatible cameras can capture longer sequences and return to full operation quickly.

Its 240GB capacity provides practical room for:

• High-resolution RAW and JPEG images

• Extended sports and wildlife bursts

• 4K video production

• High-frame-rate slow-motion footage

• Hybrid assignments requiring both photographs and video

🛡️ Sony TOUGH Construction

Sony’s TOUGH specification provides significantly greater physical strength than required by the CFexpress Type A standard.

The card is tested to withstand:

• Drops from heights up to approximately 24.6 feet

• Bending forces up to 150 newtons

• More than ten times the standard bend resistance

• Five times the standard drop resistance

This rigid construction helps protect valuable files during travel, field production and fast-paced professional assignments.

🌦️ Ready for Difficult Conditions

The CEA-G240T carries an IP57 rating for dust and moisture resistance. It is also engineered to withstand:

• Operating temperatures from approximately 10.4° to 161.6°F

• X-rays encountered during travel

• Ultraviolet light

• Electrostatic discharge

• Harsh outdoor shooting environments

Although no memory card can guarantee protection in every circumstance, this rugged design provides additional confidence for photographers and filmmakers working away from controlled studio conditions.

💻 Faster File Transfers

When paired with a compatible high-speed CFexpress Type A reader, the card’s read speed of up to 1800 MB/s can substantially shorten backup and editing preparation times.

Sony’s optional MRW-G3 CFexpress Type A card reader uses a USB 40Gbps connection to take advantage of the newer card’s transfer performance. This is particularly valuable when moving hundreds of RAW images or large video files between assignments.

🛟 Sony File Rescue Software

Sony memory-card customers can download File Rescue software to help recover certain accidentally deleted or corrupted photographs and video files.

Successful recovery is not guaranteed, and the software does not support every file type or every form of data loss. Important work should always be copied to a separate storage device as soon as practical.

🔄 Broad CFexpress Type A Compatibility

The CEA-G240T is designed for cameras and other equipment that accept CFexpress Type A media. CFexpress 4 is backward-compatible, although recording and transfer speeds are limited by the capabilities of the camera or reader.

Always verify that your camera supports CFexpress Type A cards. CFexpress Type A and Type B cards are physically different and are not interchangeable.

⚖️ How It Compares

Versus an SDXC card: CFexpress Type A provides substantially higher sustained performance for demanding bursts and high-bitrate video. Some compatible Sony cameras can also use SD cards in the same media slot, making SD a useful lower-cost option for less demanding recording.

Versus earlier CFexpress Type A cards: The CFexpress 4 interface provides much faster potential transfer speeds when paired with compatible readers and computers. In-camera performance remains dependent on the camera’s interface and recording requirements.

Versus CFexpress Type B: Type B cards are physically larger and use a different interface. The two formats cannot be used in the same card slot unless the device specifically provides separate support for both types.
