Sony SSD G Series Drives Optimized for External Recorders

We're really excited about the new Sony G Series professional solid state drives! Sony's reputation for quality is one reason, plus they were designed specifically to handle the heavy lifting of data writing and rewriting that happens with recording video footage. While other SSDs have a tendency for data write speeds to suddenly drop after repeated re-write cycles, Sony G Series SSDs feature built-in technology preventing sudden speed decreases, while ensuring stable recording of high bitrate 4K video without frame dropping!
