Kingston Combines USB Flash Drive with Memory Card Reader in Launch of New DataTraveler Reader
SDHC 4GB / 8GB Now Available in Class 2, 4 and 6 Speeds.
Hsinchu, Taiwan – (March 13, 2007) -
Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced 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, to maximize the performance
of today’s higher resolution imaging devices, that include digital cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players and more.
“Today’s higher resolution image devices require larger memory card capacity and faster Data Transfer Rate (DTR)
to maximize overall performance,” said Scott Chen, Vice President, APAC Business Development, Kingston. “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 optimizes SDHC-compatible devices running MPEG-2, MPEG-4
and other high quality video compression used by consumer HD and DVD video.
Kingston’s line of SDHC memory cards is backed by a lifetime warranty and free technical support.
Availability
Kingston’s complete line of SDHC memory cards is currently available through distributors, resellers, and retailers.
