ProGrade Digital announced six new products meant to help creators speed up their workflows without sacrificing space.

Samsung is now offering new versions of its EVO lineup and it says the updated microSD cards offer better speeds and more storage for transferring and storing files.

Dubious storage solutions are not new, with reports of cheap components in hard drives and inaccurate storage capacities on memory cards and thumb drives. Unfortunately, that trend is increasing, according to German data recovery specialists CBL.

Samsung has announced a new series of UHS-I Pro Ultimate memory cards that are specifically made for professional photographers, videographers, and other content creators.

ProGrade Digital has updated its Refresh Pro computer software -- a tool for maximizing the performance of a card and monitoring product health -- with the ability to update the firmware of its memory cards.

Samsung has announced a new line of memory cards that it says are designed for content creators who are capturing 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) videos as well as photos.

Memory card maker ProGrade Digital has unveiled a new lineup of UHS-II microSDXC cards that are both faster and cheaper than their predecessors. And since they come with a full-size, full performance UHS-II SD adaptor, they're extremely versatile as well.

Copy protection and data encryption are standard in most storage media, but you don't often hear of copy protection as it pertains to memory cards. Although all SD cards come with a form of DRM copy protection (CPRM), it's rarely used; and something as common as re-formatting the memory card can erase protected sections that are required to make use of the copy protection in the first place.

Other copy-protected memory card options are marketed to/used mainly by companies, and not typical consumers. Seeing this market as an opportunity, Transcend Information recently announced plans to manufacture its own copy-protected SD and microSD cards and a corresponding reader.
