Real-World Memory Card Performance
To test the Sony M Tough V60 cards I used the AJA System Test in a Windows 11 machine using the Prograde UHS-II + CFeB memory card reader. I also used a USB 3.2 2×2 20Gbps port but that’s not relevant for this reader or card.
Write speeds come in faster than the older versions of this card, now seeing 153 MB/s, making this one of the fastest v60 UHS-II cards, the others being the Lexar 1800x and the Sandisk Extreme Pro v60 cards.
Read speeds came in at 269 MB/s which is pretty fast, we’ve seen V90 cards come closer to 300MB/s, but 269 MB/s for a V60 card is very good.

| Sony M Series V60 UHS-II – 64GB | 153 MB/s | 269 MB/s |
When testing sustained speeds with AJA System Test we can see the Sony M card start slightly slower and slowly climb in speed until hitting a peak of around 158MB/s, with the average coming in at the speed above, 153MB/s.

Reliability
The tough build of the Sony M Tough cards removes two of the biggest weak points of SD memory cards, the ribs surrounding the pins and the switch on the side of the card. As someone who tests a lot of memory cards, these two points break all the time on various cards, especially as they get older and the plastic gets brittle.
This memory card is X-ray proof, dust-proof, magnet-proof, static-proof, shockproof, waterproof, and can operate in extreme temperatures.
