Samsung Presents High-speed 64GB UHS-1 Memory Card at IFA 2012

Samsung Electronics showcases high performing UHS-1 64GB micro SD Card at IFA 2012. Samsung Electronics has been operating the “plus” and “standard” lineups in terms of the speed and capacity of memory card but with the UHS-1 added as “pro,” Samsung has broadened the customer choices. These new UHS-1 cards are capable of a read/write speeds of 80MBs/40MBs (SDXC) and 70MBs/20MBs for the microSDXC

Panasonic preps SD cards that survive heat, water and Xrays, will probably outlast you

Much ado has been made of weather-resistant cameras, but it’s all a moot point if the memory card dies, isn’t it? Panasonic wants that level of survivability in its SDHC and SDXC cards, and its new UHS-I-level SDAB and SDUB lines are tested for the kind of abuse that could see the camera give up the ghost first. The cards can take the kinds of punishment that we often associate with rugged gear, such as temperatures from -13F to 185F, immersion in 3.3 feet of water for half an hour and the usual steep drops. It’s beyond this that the resistance levels become truly exotic: the cards are also built to survive zaps of electricity, proximity to magnets and exposure to X-rays. If it all becomes too much to bear, the design will even fuse on the inside to prevent fire burning the card from within. Those who like what they see will only have to decide whether or not they want the SDAB range’s 95MB/s read speeds and 80MB/s writes or are willing to settle for the SDUB line’s respective 90MB/s and 45MB/s transfers. We have yet to see if or when the SD cards cross the Pacific after their September 8th launch in Japan, although we hope so — with that kind of extra-tough design, our photos are more likely to endure than we will.
