Sony SR8UY2A/TQ 8GB Micro SDHC UHS-1 Memory Card

Name: Sony SR8UY2A/TQ 8GB Micro SDHC UHS-1 Memory Card
Brand: Sony
SKU: SR8UY2A/TQ

Overview

The Sony SR8UY2A/TQ is an 8GB microSDHC memory card with a Class 10 and UHS-1 speed rating. It delivers read transfer speeds of up to 70MB/s, making it capable of handling standard photo and 1080p video capture tasks without bottlenecking. The UHS-1 bus interface and Class 10 rating guarantee a minimum 10MB/s sustained write speed, which meets the requirements for Full HD video recording and burst-mode photography on compatible devices.

With 8GB of storage, this card is best suited for light-duty use — supplemental storage for a smartphone, a dedicated card for a basic point-and-shoot camera, or a low-cost option for devices that simply need a microSD card to function. It is compatible with a wide range of devices from Sony, Motorola, Samsung, LG, and other manufacturers. For users who work with large media files, shoot in RAW format, or record extended video, a higher-capacity card would be more practical. But for straightforward, everyday tasks where reliability and compatibility matter more than sheer capacity, this Sony card serves its purpose well.
