Sony has officially suspended sales of its SD and CFexpress memory cards. According to reports from Mashable, the tech giant cited a global memory shortage as the primary driver for this decision, with no current timeline for when production will return to normal.
This move follows a broader industry trend. Recently, Western Digital announced it has already sold out its entire HDD production through 2026. The squeeze is largely attributed to the massive expansion of AI data centers, which are consuming the global supply of storage components at an unprecedented rate.
Consumers and professionals should expect ongoing availability issues as manufacturers prioritize high-capacity enterprise solutions over consumer storage media.
