Kingston Launches 8GB cards

Techtree News Staff, Mar 28, 2007 1726 hrs IST

Kingston is introducing three new 8GB SDHC memory cards in Class 2, 4 and 6 speed ratings, and two new 4GB SDHC cards in Class 4 and 6 speeds.

Kingston Technology has announced that it will expand its line of Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) memory cards with the introduction of three new 8GB cards available in Class 2, 4 and 6 speed ratings as well as two new 4GB SDHC cards in Class 4 and 6 speeds.

The company said that with this expansion, it aims to maximize the performance of today's higher resolution imaging devices, which include digital cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players and more.

Rajesh Panicker, Country Manager - India, Kingston, said, "Today's higher resolution image devices require larger memory card capacity and faster Data Transfer Rate (DTR) to maximize overall performance. Our new 8GB SDHC cards, as well as the 4GB Class 4 and 6 cards, satisfy the growing demand to help consumers get the most out of their advanced digital devices."

The new SDHC format surpasses capacities beyond the original 2GB threshold for the Secure Digital (SD) card format. Offered in three different speed classes (2, 4 and 6), each SDHC class designation reflects the minimum sustained DTR of megabytes per second.

For example, a Class 2 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 2MB/sec, while a Class 6 SDHC card has a minimum DTR of 6MB/sec. The higher capacities and speeds of the SDHC format optimize SDHC-compatible devices running MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and other high quality video compression used by consumer HD and DVD video.

According to Kingston, its line of SDHC memory cards is backed by a lifetime warranty and free technical support.

Meanwhile, these Kingston SDHC memory cards will be available in India through the company's network of distributors, including AA Infoways, Avnet India, Ingram Micro, Kobian Electronics, and Transtek Infoways.

Its a pity that the page designer was not able to find an image for memory card. Perhaps he is underpaid
