SD Cards

​Sony has wheeled out a versatile new USB hub geared toward working professionals with a need for speed. The MRW-S3 is packed with ports to support a variety of data transfer methods, but is spearheaded by what the company is calling the world’s fastest SD and Micro SD card readers.

Sony has unveiled what it claims are the world's toughest and fastest SD cards. Boasting a monolithic one-piece mold construction, the new "SF-G series TOUGH specification" UHS-II SD cards are completely sealed and ​built to withstand bending, drops, water and dust.

​The SD Association, the non-profit organization responsible for setting SD memory card standards, today announced the latest iteration of the popular SD memory card. SD Express brings a maximum data transfer rate of 985 MB/s, and increases maximum storage capacity to a capacious 128 TB.

Many photographers carry spare SD cards to shoots, which can be misplaced or lost. The Memistore is a nifty two slot temporary shelter for spare cards that can be attached to a camera or tripod.​ Job done.

The title of "world's fastest SD card" generally isn't held for long, and Sony is the latest to claim the crown. Available in three sizes and designed for capturing 4K video, its new SF-G line of cards is due to launch this year, boasting read speeds of up to 300 MB/s and write speeds of 299 MB/s.

SanDisk has a new memory card with more storage space than many computers. Parent company Western Digital announced a prototype one terabyte (TB) SDXC card at the Photokina trade fair in Cologne, Germany on Tuesday.

Eyefi has launched its latest line of wireless SD cards. The new Eyefi Mobi Pro cards are aimed at enthusiast and professional photographers and feature selective transfer and the ability to send RAW files to your computer or phone. We recently took one for a spin to see what it could do.

MacBooks can make for great laptops, but their speedy solid-state drives don't give you much bang for your buck. So why not do something with that SD card slot, and give yourself some more semi-permanent storage? That's the thinking behind Transcend's JetDrive Lite. Read on, for Gizmag's quick look.

Toshiba has updated its FlashAir wireless SD card with the FlashAir II, which, like the Eye-Fi and Transcend WiFi cards, functions as its own wireless LAN access point to let users upload photos directly from their digital camera to a tablet, smartphone or PC.

Toshiba may have claimed a world’s fastest title with its new Exceria Pro SD memory cards that come in 16 and 32 GB capacities, but SanDisk is claiming its own worlds’ fastest crown – this time for a 64 GB microSDXC card.

Toshiba has revealed what's claimed to be the world's fastest SD memory cards, its Exceria Pro series, which boast a write speed of 240 MB/s. However, photographers and videographers might have to wait a while before getting to make use of that speed.

Eye-Fi has released the Mobi, its latest wireless SD card which has been designed to make it easier to get images wirelessly from a camera to iOS or Android devices.
