Sony has suspended orders for nearly its entire lineup of SD and CFexpress memory cards, citing the global semiconductor shortage that has made it impossible to meet demand. The company announced the suspension, effective March 27, covering both CFexpress Type A and Type B cards as well as higher-end SD offerings including TOUGH-branded models.

The production halt affects almost all capacities, from the 240 GB to 1920 GB CFexpress Type A cards and most Type B variants. On the SD side, the entire TOUGH lineup (64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB) and standard V60 cards across all capacities are suspended, along with budget V30 64 GB and 128 GB options. Sony says supply is unlikely to meet demand "for the foreseeable future."

Existing inventory will continue moving through the supply chain, so cards remain available at retail for now, but restocking will stop once current supplies run out. The company hasn't provided a timeline for resuming production, stating it will monitor component availability before making a decision. A few exceptions remain, including the 960 GB CFexpress Type B card and some entry-level SF-UZ series SD cards.
