These new SD cards are shock-proof, temperature-proof and waterproof as well. They will also have anti-static properties.
“The quick write speed supports maximum performance of digital imaging devices, contributing to longer continuous shooting of high-resolution images with UHS-II supporting cameras,” the company said in a blog post.

These little cards are capable of offering read and write photo at the rate of 300MB/s and 299MB/s respectively. These are megabytes per second not megabits. The next fastest SD card to those by Sony is from SanDisk with its 260MB/s speeds.
