SanDisk has recently introduced two new series of high-performance memory cards that should be of particular interest to technology enthusiasts, IT professionals and gamers. The SanDisk Extreme Pro series not only offers an immense storage capacity of up to 2 TB, but also improved transfer speeds that are ideal for professional applications that need to process large amounts of data quickly. The new SD cards of the microSD Express standard, on the other hand, are said to be particularly fast.
What do the new memory cards from SanDisk offer?
The new SD and microSD cards in the Extreme Pro series are specially tailored to users who primarily require large amounts of storage space. The new microSD cards with the microSD Express transfer standard, on the other hand, offer less storage space but extremely high speeds.
- Read speed: The SanDisk Extreme Pro cards offer a read speed of up to 250 MB/s, which is crucial for applications such as 4K videos, drones or professional photography.
- Write speed: With a write speed of up to 150 MB/s, they ensure that even large amounts of data can be written to the card quickly. However, a compatible reader is required.
- microSD Express: This new variant uses the Express standard, which works via the PCIe bus and therefore enables significantly higher transfer speeds. With up to 880 MB/s for reading and 650 MB/s for writing, it sets new standards in terms of speed. However, users need an Express-capable device for this.
Advantages and areas of application
Thanks to the extremely high speeds and large storage capacities, the new SanDisk Extreme Pro cards are ideal for professional users who process large amounts of data, such as filmmakers, photographers or gamers.
Especially in areas such as 4K or 8K video recording and virtual reality, where enormous amounts of data are generated, the new memory cards should provide the necessary memory and speed to ensure a smooth workflow.
