Kingston Technology Broadens SD Ultimate Line with 2-GB Card
Increases Capacity of Ultra Performance Card Line for Professional Digital Users
[23 August 2005] Kingston Technology, the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the
further expansion of its Secure Digital (SD) Ultimate Card product line with the release of a new ultra-performing 2-GB
capacity card.
With super-fast 120X transfer rates, Kingston Technology SD Ultimate cards offer significant performance benefits over current
Standard and Elite Pro lines of SD cards. The greater storage capacity of the 2-GB SD Ultimate card meets the rigorous demands
of professional digital photographers.
“Kingston Technology’s SD Ultimate line is designed to provide pro users and serious digital enthusiasts a performance edge in
optimising their high-end digital equipment — whether it’s a digital camera, MP3 player or PDA,” said Jim Selby, Product Marketing
Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology. “Our new 2-GB SD Ultimate cards build on that advantage by offering greater capacity to manage
larger files,” added Selby.
Similar to CD-ROM drives, many devices are currently sold with an ‘X’ speed rating to give users a performance indicator of how fast
a card can transfer (read and/or write) data. Kingston Technology X-speed ratings are based on ‘write’ speed, and X-speed performance
is a function of MegaBytes per second (MB/sec) of write speed. Higher X-speed ratings signify faster cards.
Kingston Technology’s SD Ultimate cards were the first products to ship in its new Ultimate family of digital media. CompactFlash
Ultimate cards will be next to join the Ultimate line. The new 2-GB SD Ultimate card, part #: SD/2GB-U will have an MSRP of £105 (+VAT).
