  • Sony suspends nearly all SD and CFexpress memory card orders due to a global semiconductor shortage.
  • The suspension affects high-end and lower-end memory card models, including CFexpress Type A/B and various SD card capacities.
  • Only a few low-end SD cards remain in production, but availability is limited, especially in the United States.
  • The shortage is driven by high demand from AI datacenters, leading to increased costs and limited supply of memory components.
  • Sony plans to resume production when the market stabilizes, but no timeline has been provided.
