The SD Association announced a new standard for SD Express and microSD Express that adds new speed classes for the former and promises double the speeds of the latter. While great on paper, the updates do nothing to make the format desirable for camera makers.
Adata has announced that it will be producing a line of SD Express memory cards, following Lexar which did the same earlier this year. It's unclear who these cards are for, however, as no manufacturer currently supports the spec.
Lexar has announced that it is actively developing on the thus far unused SD Express specification to create SD memory cards that use PCI Express (PCIe 4.0) and will more than triple the speeds of current UHS-II cards, but it's not clear who these cards will work for.
Earlier today, the President of the SD Association unveiled the new SD Express 8.0 specification. Built on the PCIe 4.0 standard using NVMe technology, SD 8.0 will "set a new standard for memory cards," with theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 4 gigaBYTES per second.
The SD Association has just announced the latest specifications for the widely used Secure Digital (SD) memory card format. The new Ultra Capacity (UC) designation will mean capacities of up to 128 terabytes and the "Express" designation will mean transfer speeds of up to 985 megabytes per second.
Hot on the heels of Sony's "world's fastest SD card" announcement, the SD Card Association has announced a new, much faster standard for SD and microSD memory cards: UHS-III.
The SD Association has announced its latest SD memory card specification. SD 5.0 features the fastest speed class so far, known as Video Speed Class. The cards will be able to support 4K, 8K, 3D, and 360-degree video recording (in addition to blazing-fast photo shooting speeds).
Perhaps lost amidst the excitement over new cameras at CES 2012 earlier this month was the SD Association’s unveiling …
