Toshiba Introduces UHS Speed Class 3 SD Card

Toshiba’s Digital Products Division (a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.) introduced EXCERIA UHS-I SD Memory Cards, a line of EXCERIA products focused on continuous shooting and full HD (including 4K resolution) video, a fit for professional or amateur photographers in a range of sizes at an affordable price.

Great for professional DSLR photographers, videographers and content creators who demand high-performance tools, these SD cards offer faster write speeds than Class 10 SD cards, have greater mobile storage capacity (up to 128GB) than other EXCERIA products and include UHS Speed Class 3 support for 4K/2K video recording and playback. Digital pros, enthusiast photographers and amateurs can enjoy fast-motion capture and playback of high-resolution content, plus the benefits of high-speed continuous shooting, real-time full HD video recording and the time-saving value of lightning-fast data transfers for large files. Backing up 1,000 photographs takes only one-third the time needed by other UHS-I SD cards.

“After launching our EXCERIA CompactFlash Memory Card earlier this year, we heard from consumers that they wanted a similar SD Card product solution,” said Maciek Brzeski, VP of product marketing and development, branded storage products, Toshiba digital products division. “Toshiba’s new line of EXCERIA UHS-I SD Memory Cards delivers a seamless storage experience, with high-speed R/W capability, for photographers at a variety of sizes and price points.“
