SanDisk Corporation, considered a leader in flash storage solutions, has announced the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDHC\/SDXC UHS-II card. It is the world\u2019s fastest SD memory card, and is based on the latest high performance SD specification. The new SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card offers up to 250MB\/s1 write speeds for continuous burst mode shooting and transfer speeds of up to 280MB\/s1 for maximum workflow efficiency. The SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card is UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) enabled2, a new specification allowing for high-quality 4K video recording.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SanDisk\"<\/a>\u201cCamera manufacturers are rapidly introducing camera models for both consumers and professionals that are capable of higher burst rates and 4K video capture. Accordingly, memory card technology must move at a similar pace to provide users with the substantial performance required to take full advantage of these features,\u201d said Christopher Chute, research director, Worldwide Digital Imaging, IDC. \u201cThe higher levels of performance delivered by the new SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card will help ensure that photographers, videographers and filmmakers are able to take advantage of the full capabilities of new professional-grade cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n

Optimized for the next generation of high-end DSLRs and pro video cameras that support the UHS-II standard, the SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card delivers the uncompromising results that professional photographers demand. Fast write speeds of up to 250MB\/s allows users to take high-resolution images, such as RAW and JPEG, in succession. In addition to industry-leading read and write speeds, the card offers the highest video performance available for sustained video capture of 30MB\/s (U3), allowing capture of cinema-quality 4K, 3D and Full HD videos3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card shatters the existing barrier of UHS-I limitations, delivering speeds up to three times faster than current cards,\u201d said Candy Gao, Country Manager, Hong Kong and Philippines, SanDisk. \u201cAs leaders in the flash storage industry, our goal is to deliver the fastest memory cards on the market, enabling next generation cameras to take advantage of new levels of performance. This is another example of our legacy of innovation and technology leadership in the digital imaging and video industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFUJIFILM has announced the world\u2019s first UHS-II compatible digital camera, the X-T1,\u201d said Toshihisa Iida, senior manager, Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division, FUJIFILM Corporation. \u201cThe performance delivered by the new SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II card will ensure that photographers can take full advantage of the FUJIFILM X-T1, which provides an advanced photographic experience including the highest-standard image quality, as well as fast shooting speed and response.\u201d<\/p>\n

SanDisk Extreme PRO memory cards are tested for durability under extreme temperature conditions and backed by a lifetime limited warranty4. The cards also include a one-year downloadable offer for RescuePRO Deluxe media recovery software, which helps photographers recover their images in case of accidental deletion.<\/p>\n

SanDisk also announced the SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II Card Reader\/Writer, the world\u2019s first SDHC\/SDXC UHS-II memory card reader\/writer, designed to increase workflow efficiency. Small enough for fieldwork, the compact reader is built to handle the high-performance demands of UHS-II card technology. This reader\/writer features a USB 3.0 interface, which is capable of transferring card content up to 500MB\/s, 10 times faster than a USB 2.0 interface.<\/p>\n

SanDisk Extreme PRO SDHC\/SDXC UHS-II cards are available in April in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities carrying a suggested retail price of P5,900, P9,900, and P19,900, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
