New cards are designed for professional content creators, offering best-in-class read/write speeds, maximized reliability, and improved power efficiency
Samsung Electronics America today announced the PRO Ultimate – its new flagship UHS-I memory card model in microSD and full-size SD form factors. The new cards enable professional photographers and content creators to maximize productivity in their creative workflows. The PRO Ultimate lineup features a capacity of up to 512 gigabytes (GB) and a remarkable sequential read speed of up to 200 megabytes-per-second (MB/s).
With the growing volume of high-resolution content from devices such as drones, action cameras and DSLR cameras, creators should be able to work with large-sized content quickly, whether they are writing, reading or transferring their data. The new Samsung PRO Ultimate cards use an enhanced controller and multi-proof protection features that can stores and protects data long-term.
Best-in-Class Read and Write Speeds with UHS-I Interface
The PRO Ultimate underscores Samsung technical innovations, setting an industry-leading standard with read speeds of up to 200MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s. These high speeds, regardless of capacity, allow for the seamless transfer of heavy-duty files such as 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) and Full HD (FHD) video with Video Speed Class 30 (V30) support.
That means a game can load in as quickly as 31.5 seconds, 200 photos can transfer from PC to card in as fast as .6 seconds, and one 1.3GB movie can transfer from PC to card in as swiftly as 11.2 seconds.
To meet consumer needs for the ability to manage large volumes of content and quick transfers to other devices, the PRO Ultimate microSD card showcases an Application Performance Class 2 (A2) that deliver high speeds and increased multi-tasking capabilities.
Increased Reliability and Durability
The Samsung PRO Ultimate provides professional photographers and creators with reliable performance, thanks to the controller’s enhanced Error Correction Code (ECC) engine and multi-proof protection features that ensure safer data storage over extended periods of time.
With an upgrade to the ECC’s Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code from a 1-kilobyte (KB) to a 2KB engine, the PRO Ultimate offers enhanced durability for a higher volume of write-and-erase cycles. This prevents data loss so consumers can use their Samsung memory cards with confidence.
