Sony CEA-G Series CFexpress Type A 240GB Memory Card (CEAG240T)

The Sony CEA-G240T is a professional-grade CFexpress Type A memory card designed for demanding creative workflows, offering exceptional speed and reliability for 4K/8K video production and high-speed still photography. This 240GB capacity card represents the latest generation of Sony's CFexpress Type A lineup, supporting the CFexpress 4 standard with cutting-edge performance specifications that make it ideal for professional cinematographers, photographers, and content creators who require dependable, high-capacity storage solutions.

At its core, the CEA-G240T delivers maximum read speeds of 1800 MB/s and maximum write speeds of 1700 MB/s, with a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s. These speeds represent up to 2.4 times faster performance compared to previous CFexpress models and are achieved through a PCIe Gen 4.0 bus architecture. The sustained write speed of 400 MB/s ensures consistent performance during uninterrupted video recording sessions, preventing buffer overflows and maintaining reliability during critical shooting scenarios.

The card incorporates VPG400 (Video Performance Guarantee) certification, which certifies that the card maintains minimum sustained write speeds of 400 MB/s—a critical specification for professional video production. This certification provides assurance that the card can reliably handle demanding 4K and 8K video recording across various codecs, bit rates, and compression standards. The VPG400 rating makes this card particularly suitable for Sony's latest flagship cameras and professional imaging systems that demand consistent data throughput.

Durability is a defining characteristic of the CEA-G240T through Sony's proprietary TOUGH design specification. The card offers 5 times the drop strength and 10 times the bend resistance compared to standard CFexpress Type A cards, making it exceptionally resilient to physical stress and accidental damage. Additionally, the card features IP57-rated dust and moisture ingress protection, enabling it to maintain functionality in challenging environmental conditions including dust exposure and moisture without compromising data integrity or performance.

The CEA-G240T's 240GB capacity provides substantial storage for extended recording sessions and high-speed burst photography. This capacity is particularly advantageous for professionals who capture extended takes of 4K or 8K video content, or photographers who require extended burst sequences for action photography. The generous storage capacity reduces the necessity to swap memory cards during critical shooting moments, improving workflow efficiency and creative continuity on set.

Data transfer is facilitated through a USB 40Gbps interface when used with the optional MRW-G3 card reader (sold separately), enabling rapid offloading of recorded content to computer systems for post-production workflows. The card also supports Memory Card File Rescue functionality for Sony CFexpress Type A cards, providing data recovery options in the event of accidental file deletion or corruption. The operating temperature range spans from 10°F to 161°F (-12°C to 72°C), accommodating use in diverse environmental conditions.

The CEA-G240T is constructed with advanced flash memory control technology that optimizes performance across the full range of write speeds, ensuring that performance remains consistent whether recording at maximum throughput or at sustained rates. The compact physical form factor of CFexpress Type A maintains compatibility with Sony's professional imaging ecosystem while delivering enterprise-class reliability and performance metrics. This card represents an essential tool for professionals seeking maximum storage capacity combined with professional-grade reliability and exceptional speed performance.
