Sony Shuts Down Nearly Its Memory Card Business Due to Flash Shortage

4 hours ago

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.
