SanDisk releases world's fastest 64GB
microSDXC card

SanDisk's new high-speed, high-capacity
microSD cards were designed with the smart
phone user in mind
SanDisk has a new product in their popular line of
microSD cards, the SanDisk Extreme microSDHC
and microSDXC UHS-I cards. Designed for users
who need fast storage for their smart phone,
tablet or camera, the new microSD cards offer
read and write speeds that are perfect for taking
multi-shot high resolution pictures, as well as full
HD high framerate video.
In SanDisk's testing, the 64GB model reached
read speeds of 80MB/second, and write speeds of
50MB/second. Speeds like this allow you to do
things like take more shots in a row using your
camera's burst mode, or take beautiful high-
quality HD video. Of course, file transfer speeds
are also greatly increased, letting you copy those
images and videos, or music or ROMs from your
computer even faster.
Ultra-fast, high capacity microSD cards are a
perfect match for Android phones that support
removable storage. Stuart Robinson, director of
handset component technologies service at
Strategy Analytics puts it succinctly:
Most high-end smartphones are now driven by
high-speed quad-core processors, which deliver
Full HD content and applications to large, high-
resolution external displays. Such applications
require high memory bandwidth which is ideal for
the SanDisk Extreme microSDXC card, the world's
fastest microSDXC memory solution.
We know you all like big, fast SD cards, and this
one looks like a winner. To be sure, we had
SanDisk send us the 64GB SDXC model and I'm
going to see if it lives up to the hype. We'll run it
through the benchmarks, but also try it in real-
world situations like in an Android phone, a
computer, and a DSLR. Look for the results soon!
In the meantime, the full press release is after the
break. Read through it, and discuss.
