Toshiba to Launch the World's Fastest SDHC, microSDHC Memory Cards

Toshiba announced the launch of 8GB, 16GB and 32GB SDHC UHS-I cards, all compliant with the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 3.0 (SD 3.0), UHS 104, that deliver the fastest data read and write speeds. Toshiba also unveiled its first microSDHC UHS-I Cards with 4GB, 8GB and16GB capacities.

The new SDHC UHS-I Cards are the world's first memory cards compliant with SD 3.0, UHS104, and introduce a new level of ultra-fast read and write speeds to NAND flash based memory cards: a maximum read speed of 95MB per sec, and a write speed of 80MB per sec. The new microSDHC UHS-I Cards are the world's first microSDHC memory cards compliant with SD 3.0, UHS50, and they also offer the world's fastest read and write speeds in their class: a maximum read speed of 40MB per sec and a write speed of 20MB per sec.

The expanded new card series will be featured at the IFA 2010, in Berlin, Germany from September 3, and PHOTOKINA 2010, in Koln, Germany. Mass production of the new SDHC UHS-I Cards and sample shipments of the new microSDHC UHS-I Cards will start this November.

Key features: SDHC UHS-I cards (32GB, 16GB, 8GB)

1. Supports UHS104, a new ultra high-speed SD interface, and the highest standard in the new SD 3.0, which provides 104MB/s bus speed on the SD interface. It realizes a maximum read speed of 95MB/s and a write speed of 80MB/s.
2. Provides the conventional SD interfaces—3.3V signal voltage for the DS mode (SD clock 25MHz and 12.5MB/s) and the HS mode (SD clock 50MHz and 25MB/s)—and is interoperable with existing SDHC host devices compliant with the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 2.0 (SD 2.0).
3. Integrates CPRM copy protection technology.

Key features: microSDHC UHS-I cards (16GB, 8GB, 4GB)

1. Supports UHS50, a new ultra high-speed SD interface compliant with the new SD 3.0, which provides 50MB/s bus speed on the SD interface. It realizes a maximum read speed of 40MB/s and a write speed of 20MB/s, the fastest for microSD.
2. Provides the conventional SD interfaces—3.3V signal voltage for the DS mode (SD clock 25MHz and 12.5MB/s) and the HS mode (SD clock 50MHz and 25MB/s)—and is interoperable with existing microSDHC host devices compliant with the SD 2.0.
3. Compliant with DDR 50 (SD Clock 50MHz), with double the bus transfer rate (50MB/s) comparing with the existing HS mode at the same SD clock frequency.
4. Integrates CPRM copy protection technology.
