I consder myself to be an enthusiast/hobbiest photogrpaher. Gear matters to me, as do fast SD cards. This is a UHS-II SD card, and Sony has taken steps to beef up its design. They even named this the TOUGH SD card.
It slightly feels more substantial than "normal" SD cards. It feels less flimsy. It has no ribs to break off near the gold contacts. It also lacks the write-protect switch, which I have never used. For me, it won't be missed.
As for speed, the marketed speed is up to 300 MB/s read and 299 MB/s writes. Keep in mind, that Sony is charging a premium for these cards. You have to ask yourself if you really, really need the added durability. You can buy less expensive Sony cards with the same read/write speeds. I own those cards and have been satisfied with them. My most recent memory card purchases have been Sony cards just because I wanted to try an alternative to Sandisk. I have not been disappointed by Sony in my Fuji XT-2.
So it really comes down to durability. Are you a pro shooting in the worst possible conditions? Have you ever broken an SD card? Then perhaps this is the right card for you.
Purchased 64 GB Sony Tough Card along with a Satechi Type-C Aluminum UHS-II Micro/SD Card Reader Adapter. Tested the Satechi with a 95 MBps SanDisk Extreme Pro UHSI card first, all good (write speeds around 85 MBps). Card was removed easily. Next tested with Tough Card, write speeds around 240 MBps on my Lenovo T480 laptop. Card would not eject - stayed about 2/3 inserted and would not budge. Scared me, as these cards are super expensive. After considering the options, including destroying the Satechi to save the Tough Card, I decided to just pull hard on the Tough Card and it came out. Inspection of the card revealed no plastic burrs or bumps, however I did notice the card has an extra plastic piece on its underside, below the connections. This makes the card slightly thicker than a standard SD card, and that was the culprit here. Sony put a 45 degree taper on the leading edge of that extra plastic piece, no doubt because they realized some card readers might want to get stuck. So if you run into this issue, just pull firmly on the card and it will come out. After this first-time issue, I carefully reinserted and removed the card several times and it now works just fine. Minus one star because of the fit issue, and write speed fell 20% below claimed value.
I ordered an open box/like new Sony Tough 128GB SDXC card, one of the most expensive memory cards on the market today. The box I received was for that card, but unfortunately the actual card in the box was a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB card, which sells for a fraction of the card I paid for. Unbelievable...and I needed this card for a trip I am about to take!

Staff photographer for a Honolulu-based publisher here. These are probably my favorite SD cards EVER. Transfer rate is fast, never had an error message or lost data. Bought my first one about 9 months ago, now have 5 64gb & 1 32GB Tough cards.
I use these cards in: Canon 5D3, Sony A7R III, Fuji XT3, Fuji GFX 50R, Fuji X-H1. They are the fastest writing SD cards I’ve experienced, consistently. No, I didn’t time it so it’s just a seat of the pants feeling. But they’re very fast. No issues running 4k/60 on the XT3 and buffer clears FAST in high speed drive modes.
Durability wise this thing is literally a wafer of machined aluminum. Its reassuringly solid and jingles like a coin when you drop it on concrete. Its definitely gonna be “tougher” than a plastic SD card but a determined person could still bend one with their bare hands. The real value in these cards (in my opinion) is not the fact that you can submerge them in water or that they are metal. It’s the fact that Sony effectively eliminated the two most common mechanical failure points in SD cards with the Tough card design.
Number one is that stupid “Write Protect” switch. Nobody I know uses it, and if you shoot all day, every day and pull your cards in and out of your camera like 4x - 8x a day....well after a year of daily use (and having never once moved the switch at ALL), the write switch will fail and your card ends up stuck in write protected mode even when it is set to read/write. It happens to our Sandisk, Lexar, and Sony SD cards with switches all the time. It’s pure genius they just ditched it. The Tough cards should last longer because of it, making them a better value in the long run.
Number two are those stupid little thin plastic guide tabs to the sides of the gold contacts on the bottom of the card. With heavy daily use, those little plastic tab things have a tendency to break off. Usually in your Mac’s SD card slot on the worst possible day for it to do so. The Tough cards don’t have them. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? Your Macbook will thank you. Also, these should last longer for heavy daily users, making them a better value.
If you are a hobbyist, amateur or even low-volume professional user, you could save a few bucks, buy a Sandisk Extreme Pro card, and be just fine. The mechanical failues I’m referring to aren’t going to make you lose the data on your card. And there are other cheaper cards with similar water resistance, etc that would give you similar peace of mind. But if you fall into the “high volume” use category, just expense them already. They’re worth it and will save you a few bucks in the long run.
Yes, they cost a bit more than other cards. And as durable as they are, they aren’t indestructible. But for heavy, daily, professional use they are worth the money and then some, because Sony fixed two mechanical design flaws found on every other brand of SD card I’m aware of. I’ll update if any issues arise.
