삼성전자가 UHS-I 규격 최고 수준인 최대 200MB/s 읽기 속도와 130MB/s 쓰기 속도를 제공하는 메모리카드 ‘PRO Ultimate(프로 얼티밋)’을 출시했다.
'PRO Ultimate', UHS-I highest level, ECC engine enhancement
Samsung Electronics has released new SD and micro SD card products with enhanced speed and stability.
Samsung Electronics announced on the 29th that it has released the 'PRO Ultimate' memory card, which provides a read speed of up to 200MB/s and a write speed of 130MB/s, the highest level of the UHS-I standard.
The 'PRO Ultimate' product line satisfies video speed class V30, allowing fast transfer of high-capacity files such as 4K UHD and FHD videos.
For micro SD cards, A2 grade is supported separately to smoothly support continuous read/write and multitasking operations.
Samsung Electronics also enhanced the reliability of this product line by strengthening the controller's 'ECC (Error Correction Code) engine.' LDPC (Low Density Parity Check), a type of ECC, has been improved from 1KB to 2KB, allowing consumers to use it for a longer period of time without worrying about data loss.
Additionally, the product line safely protects data in extreme external environments such as waterproof, drop, abrasion, x-ray, magnetic fields, temperature changes, and in the case of SD cards, can withstand shocks of up to 1,500g.
Samsung Electronics applied a 28nm controller to this product lineup, improving power efficiency by up to 37% compared to previous models. Accordingly, it is expected that consumers will be able to use the device for a long time without frequent recharging.
Additionally, the 'PRO Ultimate' lineup provides compatibility with a variety of devices.
The 'PRO Ultimate' SD card is compatible with DSLR/mirrorless cameras, camcorders, PCs and laptops, allowing you to quickly create, edit and transfer high-quality content across multiple devices.
The 'PRO Ultimate' Micro SD card offers compatibility with a wide range of devices including smartphones, tablets, portable game consoles, action cams, drones, and PCs, providing the optimal solution for professional videographers and creators.
“As the amount of high-resolution content generated from devices such as drones, action cams, and DSLR cameras increases, professional creators need to be able to work with large-capacity content without interruption,” said Han-Koo Son, managing director of Brand Product Biz Team, Memory Business, Samsung Electronics. “PRO Ultimate will meet the needs of not only creators but also professionals with enhanced speed and stability, including a new controller and data protection features.”
The 'PRO Ultimate' product line comes with a 10-year warranty.
Meanwhile, the 'PRO Ultimate' Micro SD card will be released from the 29th, and the SD card will be released in October. Depending on the capacity of each product, all options including a card reader can be purchased.
