Sony Pulls Nearly All Memory Cards, Because SSDs Are Playing Hide-and-Seek
KEY POINTS
- •Sony announced on March 27, 2026, it’s halting orders on nearly all CFexpress and SD memory cards due to SSD shortages.
- •Most of the CFexpress Type A and B, as well as SDXC/SDHC cards, are affected, with only select low-end SF-UZ and Type B cards still in production.
- •This stoppage affects both authorized dealers and general consumers, while the news coincides with Sony’s plan to raise PS5 prices.
On March 27, 2026, Sony hit pause on almost all its CFexpress and SD memory cards, throwing collectors and gadget hoarders into a digital blackout. This includes virtually every CFexpress Type A and B, plus SDXC/SDHC cards, because apparently, SSD shortages are the new black plague of tech. Only a few low-profile Type B and SF-UZ series SD cards survive the Sony purge, limping along like the last survivors in a post-apocalyptic bargain bin. This chaos coincided perfectly with Sony announcing a PS5 price hike, proving they're committed to bleeding gamers dry on all fronts—storage and wallets alike.

Sony killing memory cards mid-2026 because SSDs are playing hard to get feels like tech’s version of a breakup letter—‘It’s not you, it’s my supply chain.’
If Sony stopped making memory cards because SSD shortages exist, maybe next they’ll stop making donuts because flour got nervous about carbs.
