It’s easy enough to find ultra-fast SD cards—if you’ve got the cash
Apr 18
Toshiba did make the headlines this earlier this week, and the Japanese company intends to cap it all off by debuting the fastest microSD memory cards in the world. These new microSD memory cards happen to be the first in the industry that complies with the High-Speed UHS-II Interface Standard. It so happens that this is the ultra high speed serial bus interface that has been defined in the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 4.20, and those who are interested will be able to choose from 32GB and 64GB capacities.
Being UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) enabled, these new Toshiba microSD memory cards will enable high-quality 4K video capture at constant minimum write speeds of 30MB/s. This translates to the ability to record 4K2K video, live broadcast and content on high-performance cameras without missing a beat or suffering from a drop in quality.
The 64GB cards do come with a maximum read speed of 260MB/s and a maximum write speed of 240MB/s. As for the smaller capacity 32GB cards, these have a maximum read speed of 145MB/s and maximum write speed of 130MB/s, which would represent an 8x write speed improvement and 2.7x read speed improvement if you were to take Toshiba’s existing 32GB microSD UHS-I cards and place them in a side-by-side performance comparison. There is no word on pricing details for either capacity just yet though. [Press Release]

Google’s Project Ara is a pretty unique and interesting concept. The idea is to allow users to continuously upgrade their phones and swap out parts to create the phone of their dreams. For example right now we are pretty much limited in terms of customizability. For example you might like this phone’s design, but its camera is somewhat lacking, or you like a set of features from a particular brand but feel that its hardware could be better, and so on.
Those are the kind of problems that Project Ara wants to address, but at the same time could Project Ara be applied to wearable technology as well? It turns out that Toshiba might have thought of something like that. During the Ara Developer Conference, Toshiba’s Senior VP and Technology Executive, Shardul Kazi, took to the stage where he revealed a concept in which Ara’s modular components could be taken out of the smartphone and inserted into a wearable device.
For example if you wanted to use your smartwatch to play music, you could take out the storage unit from the smartphone and plug it into your watch and allow it to access the data on it. You could even swap out sensors, like accelerometers, gyroscopes, or maybe even health-related sensors like heart rate sensors and so on, depending on your needs.
However this is only a concept at the moment, as pointed out by Kazi. He also stated that nothing of the sort was in development right now, but it’s still a very interesting idea and it certainly does open the door to all sorts of possibilities. Of course the first step would to actually release the Ara smartphone first, which Google estimates to be in January 2015, but in the meantime what do you guys think of this idea?
