Samsung releases ultra high speed memory cards

Samsung Electronics announced its new external memory cards, highlighting a selection of superior speed, density and reliability. The professional version of the new memory cards, the ‘Pro’ series, provides ultra high speed-1 (UHS-1)* performance and up to 64 gigabytes (GBs) of data storage. The full line-up includes the premium series ‘Plus’ and commercial series ‘Standard.’

Samsung’s new 64GB micro SD Pro series, utilizing its advanced semiconductor technology with 20 nanometer-class** NAND flash offers the highest levels of reliability against SD cards available in the market today and speed up to 70 Megabytes per second (MB/s)*** for read performance, making them three-times faster than the conventional micro SD cards.

Such higher speeds and larger data storage space match the rapidly transforming user environment with the advent of LTE communication networks. The memory cards are designed to fully meet users’ expectations for ultimate quality in accessing and storing large multimedia content of advanced quality such as full HD (1080p) videos.

Each of the new cards has been designed with Samsung’s proof technologies to provide users with ultimate levels of durability. Samsung introduced three proof concepts in 2009, a unique concept of superior reliability at that time. The new line-up of micro SD cards delivers added reliability through its reinforced proof factors: Water- proof, Magnetic-proof, X-ray-proof and Temperature-proof.

Samsung’s new memory cards are built to maximize the users’ mobile experience with faster speeds, more reliability and higher capacity, making it the essential complementary item for smart phones and digital cameras.

This new line up of memory cards will be available from October, 2012.

* UHS-1 is the fastest performance level of SD 3.0 interface SD cards, which offer maximum read and write speeds of 104MB/s.

** 20nm-class means a process technology node somewhere between 20 and 29 nanometers.

*** Performance figure refers to 100MB data test results on Crystal DiskMark.
