Samsung announced high-speed SD cards

Now, when the performance of the hardware core, even on smartphones, is very high, manufacturers have taken up information storage devices, most of which are still a weak link in the entire information chain. One of the solutions to the problem of slow writing / reading information is solid-state drives - most laptop and PC owners who switch to solid state drives do not return to hard drives. As for memory cards, the performance of most of these devices is poor.

But manufacturers are constantly trying to solve this problem. For example, Samsung introduced its own microSD, with high read and write speeds. The information reading for these cards is approximately 80 MB / s, which is four times higher than the memory cards presented last year. The volume of new cards is 16 GB. It is interesting that for some reason the company did not announce the recording speed.

These cards are compatible with UHS-1 (Ultra High Speed ​​– 1). According to the developers, they are needed for the most part for mobile devices equipped with a wireless LTE communication module. This is a new generation of smartphones and tablets. The memory cards in question will begin to be released this month, at the end of April.

It would, of course, be nice if inexpensive and fast memory cards appeared on sale. The large amounts of information that we all have to work with today (including media files, of course) are an incentive for the emergence of inexpensive, fast and capacious storage media for mobile (and not only mobile) devices.
