- Sony suspends orders for most SD and CFexpress memory cards due to global semiconductor shortage.
- The shortage is driven by rapid AI data center expansion affecting supply chains.
- Sony's suspension applies from March 27, 2026, with no clear timeline for resuming production.
- Western Digital also faced similar issues, selling out of hard drives for the year in February.
- Sony simultaneously announced price hikes on PlayStation consoles, likely linked to the same supply constraints.
