SanDisk unveils world’s largest microSDXC card with 400GB capacity
03
Sep
 |
As long as your device features a microSD-slot, there are now no excuses for running out of storage. Today, Western Digital introduced what is currently the largest capacity microSD memory card in the world: the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card with a whopping 400GB of storage space.
Western Digital has managed to double the capacity of its current high-end models by leveraging its proprietary memory technology, design and production processes, allowing the die to store even more data in an unchanged form factor.
The company says users will be able to transfer files with 100 MB/s speed—which equals approximately 1,200 photos per minute—or fill the card with up to 40 hours of video in Full-HD resolution. The SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I comes with a 10-year warranty and is available now in Europe for 250 Euros (approximately $ 295). No information on US-pricing has been released yet.

Advertising vs reality: microSD memory card speed test
08
Aug
When you’re purchasing a new memory card, the card’s “read” and “write” speed is an important spec. If it’s too slow, you might pass on the card; if that number is big enough, you break out your wallet. But are those speeds accurate? In this video, Tom David Frey of Tom’s Tech Time tested 10 different microSD cards to see how the advertised speeds on the box compare to real-world performance. The results are mostly disappointing… but not surprising.
Frey tested the top-of-the-line microSD cards out there—all 4K-ready, speed class 10 and UHS class 3. And while we wish the test involved regular SD cards, CF cards or XQD cards, since those are more relevant to photographers, the difference between the cards’ read/write speed and real-world performance is still telling. Plus, drone photographers need some love too.
The cards tested include: The SanDisk Extreme PRO, Sandisk Extreme, Transcend Ultimate 633x, Samsung PRO, Sony SR-32UZ, Kingston, Panasonic, Toshiba Exceria Pro, Verbatim, and Patriot EP Series in either 16GB or 32GB sizes. Here are the contenders alongside their advertised read and write speeds:
 |
Frey performed two tests. First, he used a USB 3.0 card reader and ran several programs to test the actual read/write speeds. Then, he took a 4.1GB video file from his hard drive and copied it to each of the cards in turn to gauge real-world write speed.
So… how did these cards perform in real life? All of them (except Panasonic, which doesn’t give read and write speeds…) advertise read speeds of 90MB/s and up, and the fastest of them claim a write speed of 90MB/s. But not a single card topped even 80MB/s read speed, and the fastest write speed reached was 78.81MB/s by the SanDisk Extreme PRO.
The good news is that some of the cards actually outperformed their advertised write speeds, but none of them were the cards claiming lightning fast 90MB/s write.
You can see all of the results for yourself at the 7:30 mark of the video.

Delkin BLACK USB 3.0 Rugged Memory Card Reader offers microSD, CF and SD slots
16
May
 |
Delkin has launched the BLACK USB 3.0 Rugged, a large memory card reader featuring both microSD and SD UHS-II card slots. This is the first rugged memory card reader offering both of these slots in a single device, according to Delkin, making it a suitable model for on-the-go photographers who are frequently in ‘strenuous shooting environments.’
In addition to support both USH-II SD and microSD cards, the BLACK USB 3.0 Rugged has a larger Compact Flash UDMA 7 memory card slot. Transfer speeds reach up to 500MB/s, which Delkin says is ten times the speed of USB 2.0. All three card slots can be used at the same time, while the USB transfer cord and one of each type of flash card can be stored inside of the media card reader when not in use.
The card reader itself is made from both plastic and aluminum with a rubber cover that shields the device from water, dust, and impacts caused by bumps and drops. If the BLACK USB 3.0 Rugged does break at any point within its 5-year warranty period, Delkin will ship a replacement to the customer within 48 hours. The model is available now exclusively within authorized retail camera stores; price isn’t clear at this time.

 |
Seagate and DJI have jointly announced the Seagate DJI Fly Drive, an external storage drive with up to a 2TB capacity, as well as a built-in microSD card slot. The new drive is targeted at camera drone operators specifically, enabling them to rapidly transfer content from the drone camera’s microSD card onto the Seagate DJI Fly Drive. At 2TB, the Fly Drive is able to hold more than 60 hours of video recorded at 4K/30fps.
According to the two companies, Fly Drive features a built-in UHS-II-rated hub for rapid transfers of high-resolution content. The case itself features a USB-C cable that is ‘tucked inside of the [shock-resistant] bumper’ when not in use, eliminating the need to carry a separate data transfer cable. The drive supports both Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1, and it comes with two months of free access to Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
The Seagate DJI Fly Drive will hit shelves some time this summer for $ 120.

UHS-III SD card interface capable of 624MB/s bursts announced
25
Feb
 |
The SD Card Association has announced the UHS-III standard that allows for maximum data rates twice as fast as the current UHS-II interface. The new interface will allow cards to transfer data at up to 624MB/s and will be used in both SD and Micro SD cards.
The UHS-III interface on future devices will be fully backwards compatible with existing SD cards. The cards themselves will include a second row of pins, so will be physically identical to current UHS-II.
The adoption of UHS-III branding may cause further confusion with the U3 speed rating that appears on many current cards. This may be mitigated if UHS-III cards prove to be capable of higher guaranteed sustained write speeds, allowing them to wear the ‘V60’ or faster ‘video speed class’ branding announced in 2016.
Although an increasing number of cameras (including many recent Fujifilm models, the Olympus E-M1 Mark II and Panasonic GH5) can make full use of the faster maximum transfer speeds of UHS-II cards, we’ve not yet seen any cards that can promise to sustain writing of data at faster than the 30MB/s promised by U3 ratings. This means all the x-hundred megabyte per second write speeds promised on current cards are useful only for bursts of stills: any camera trying to record video at data rates of above 30MB/s (240 mbps) run the risk of stuttering during recording.

Priceless memories come at a price with Lexar’s new $1700 512GB CFast card
04
Feb
 |
Memory manufacturer Lexar has announced it will double the capacity of its 3500x CFast memory card this quarter taking the storage capability to a massive 512GB. The Lexar Professional 3500x CFast 2.0 card will offer write speeds of up to 445MB/s, but will cost an equally impressive $ 1699.99/£1732.99. The company says that the card is designed to be used by movie makers, especially those using memory-intensive techniques such as super-high frame rates for slow motion footage and those shooting in 4K resolution and in Raw formats.
The card will obviously record stills as well as video, but the attraction is the length of uninterrupted footage that can be recorded. Stills photographers are likely to be better off buying smaller versions of the card which cost less per GB. At $ 675 the 256GB version is less than half the price for half the capacity, though buying 16 32GB cards works out more expensive and the write speed is slower.
The new card has a maximum read speed of 525MB/s, so allows users to copy data from it to another drive very quickly. Lexar supplies a ‘lifetime’ copy of its Image Rescue recovery software that it claims can bring back data even from corrupted cards, as well as a limited lifetime warranty and technical support.
For more information see the Lexar website.

THE 256GB SANDISK ULTRA® MICROSD CARD WITH THE LATEST A1 SD SPECIFICATION OFFERS MOBILE USERS EVEN MORE STORAGE EXPANSION OPTIONS
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2017 – Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC), a global storage technology and solutions leader, today unveiled the world’s first microSDTM card that meets the Application Performance Class 1 (A1) requirements from the latest SD Association’s SD 5.1 specifications. By meeting the A1 performance standard, the 256GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXCTM UHS-I card, Premium Edition, delivers capacity, speed and enhanced capability to deliver a better smartphone experience1.
Since the popular memory card format launched more than a decade ago, microSD cards have been instrumental in driving new segments in digital imaging like action cameras, drones, dashboard cameras and surveillance systems, and have significantly impacted the evolution of the smartphone. Today, approximately 75 percent of smartphone models on the market contain microSD slots, according to data from Strategy Analytics2. The 256GB* SanDisk Ultra microSD card offers the capacity and performance consumers need to capture all of life’s moments without having to worry about what to delete.
