Toshiba Debuts World's Fastest microSD Memory Cards

Toshiba has introduced the first microSD memory cards in the industry to comply with the UHS-II interface standard, the ultra high speed serial bus interface defined in the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 4.20.

Available in 32GB and 64GB capacities, Toshiba's new microSD memory cards offer the transfer rates available, are UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) enabled, and allow 4K video capture at constant minimum write speeds of 30MB/s.

The 64GB cards offer a maximum read speed of 260MB/s and a maximum write speed of 240MB/s. The 32GB cards have a maximum read speed of 145MB/s and maximum write speed of 130MB/s, which represents an 8x write speed improvement and 2.7x read speed improvement when compared to Toshiba's current 32GB microSD UHS-I cards.

Toshiba's entire memory card line features cryptographic security and high-level copyright protection functions.

Toshiba is currently offering sample shipments for chipset vendors and set manufacturers of smart phones and other mobile devices.
