September 3, 2010 at 14:01Toshiba Launches Fastest SD Memory
Corporations are constantly competing, releasing more and more productive gadgets, with an increasing amount of memory available to the user and other advantages. Literally every week, we hear that the next company has achieved success in a particular area. For example, today it became known that Toshiba has released the fastest SDHC UHS-I format memory chip. This chip is compatible with such a format of memory cards as SD Memory Card 3.0, and at the hardware level. In general, the developers claim that their chip is the fastest in the world both in terms of data write speed and read speed. I note that this is no longer a concept or a single development, but a carrier that went on sale.
High-speed microSDHCs with a capacity of 4, 8 and 16 gigabytes are now available on the market. It is clear that these memory cards can be used both in mobile devices, and in laptops and other devices. The production of memory cards of this format has already been put on stream, so soon all this will reach us. True, this will happen no earlier than in November of this year, when sales of SDHC UHS-I will begin.
The company reports that the maximum speed of writing data to the SDHC UHS-I card is 80 Mb / s, the read speed is 95 Mb / s. Developers also plan to create ultra-fast storage media, NAND chips based on this memory card, which are designed for laptops and netbooks with SSD drives.
SDHC UHS-I memory cards designed for mobile devices are less productive than older brothers (or sisters?). In general, the write speed in the mobile version of the memory card is 20 Mb / s, plus 40 Mb / s read. Such memory cards, according to the developers, are ideal for recording video in HD-quality, placing high-resolution photos and other tasks requiring productive memory.
It would be very nice if the developers really created SSDs based on this technology, such memory modules are very useful for creating more or less productive netbooks, the price of which will still not be sky-high, comparable to productive laptops. By the way, Toshiba also claims that on the basis of such chips it is possible to create drives with a rather significant amount of memory that exceeds the amount of memory released on the market in November.
