Sony’s SxS PRO™ Memory Card
The ExpressCard for the Next Generation

Industry's fastest data transfer speed at 800 Mbps.
SxS PRO™ complies with the ExpressCard™ industry standard, adopted by PC manufacturers to replace the legacy PC Card™ format. It’s the first ever PCI Express™ solid-state storage media and features about twice as fast data transfer speeds as legacy PC Card interfaces. By connecting directly to computer systems through a high-speed PCI-Express™ bus and with optimized technology protocols for controlling communication between hardware and card, SxS PRO™ achieves rapid data transfer rates of 800 Mbps. This reduces the duration of non-linear video editing, even when handling large high-definition video files.

Compact Size
Using ExpressCard™/34 modules, SxS PRO™ is half the size of a standard PC Card at just 34mm in width, 5mm in height and 75mm in length. This enables the design of professional camcorders to be far smaller and lighter, without compromising high storage capacity.

High Reliability for professional users
With its high reliability and durability, SxS PRO™ offers professional camcorder users even more opportunity to shoot in tough conditions or environments.
