(SINGAPORE, 6 April 2017) – Sony is expanding its professional
media lineup with the introduction of two new G Series Professional Solid State
Drives in 960GB (SV-GS96) and 480GB (SV-GS48) capacities. These SSDs were
designed to meet the growing need for reliable external video recording
devices docked to camcorders or high-performance DSLRs. For content creators
looking for more efficient, stable and flexible hi-bitrate recording in often
unpredictable environments, Sony’s G Series SSDs deliver optimal
performance for several popular professional videorecording devices, while
offering a far longer lifetime.

Building on the reliability
that is synonymous with Sony’s Professional Media products, the new SSDs are a
solid option for respective video recorders, offering videographers stable
high-speed capabilities, a sense of security and a lower cost of ownership due
to their longer life. Using Sony’s Error Correction Code technology, the 960GB G
Series SSD achieves up to 2400 TBW
(terabytes written), while the 460GB drive can reach 1200 TBW, resulting in
less frequent replacement and increased ROI. 2400 TBW translates to about 10
years of use for the SV-GS96 if data is fully written to the drive on an
average of five times per week.

The drives are also designed for ultra-fast and stable data writing. While other SSDs have a tendency for data write speeds to
drop suddenly after repeated re-write
cycles, Sony’s G Series SSDs feature built-in technology preventing sudden
speed decreases while ensuring stable recording of high bitrate 4K video
without frame dropping. For example, when used with an ATOMOS Shogun Inferno,
the G series SSD is able to stably record video on a 4K 60p (ProRes 422 HQ) mode.

When paired with the necessary connection cables,
the new G Series drives can be effortlessly removed from a recorder and
connected to a computer for file downloading, making editing easier and
faster with up to 550MB/s read speeds.

The G Series SSDs also offer data protection
technology that keeps content secure and intact even if a sudden power failure
occurs. The drive’s stability is further enhanced with a durable connector,
which withstands extreme repeated insertion and removal up to 3000 times –
or 6 times more tolerance than standard SATA connectors – even in harsh
conditions.
