A couple of companies have released new SSD products in the last few months and they carry one commonality: USB 3.2 2x2. They shouldn't, because all it does is overstate the performance a vast majority of users will ever see.
Crucial, a Micron brand, has announced two new portable SSDs that are designed specifically for photographers and content creators in mind. They're extremely compact and use a new technology to bring super-fast speeds without Thunderbolt.
Kioxia says that it has "working prototypes" of a two-terabyte microSD card, the highest possible capacity for the format as outlined by the SD Association.
Micron has announced that it has created the world's highest-capacity microSD card that has the "unprecedented" density of 1.5TB.
After shuttering its Lexar memory card business in June 2017, Micron sold the brand just 3 months later to the Chinese flash storage company Longsys and now Lexar cards are back from the grave. But Lexar is still waiting for US government approval, and the brand's warranty process is at a standstill because of it.
If you're a fan of using Lexar memory cards in your cameras, there's some sad news for you today: they're being discontinued. Micron, the parent company of Lexar, is announcing that the entire Lexar removable storage retail business is being shuttered.
SanDisk is a huge name when it comes to memory cards used by photographers, but it's actually a relatively small company compared to other heavyweights in the memory chip industry -- one of the biggest of which is Samsung. A new report says that SanDisk is actively exploring the potential sale of its business, with at least two competitors expressing interest in the deal.
