Kingston Technology Adds 8GB Memory Card to SDHC Family
- SDHC 4GB & 8GB now available in Class 2, 4 and 6 speeds -
[15 March 2007] Kingston Technology, the world’s leading independent memory manufacturer, today announced the expansion of its Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) memory card line, with the introduction of three new 8GB cards available in Class 2, 4 and 6 speed ratings. In response to growing consumer demand two new 4GB SDHC cards in Class 4 and 6 speeds have also been launched to enable users to maximise the performance of higher resolution imaging devices such as digital cameras, camcorders, PDA’s and MP3 players.
Jim Selby, Product Marketing Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology comments, “Today’s higher resolution image devices require larger memory card capacities and faster sustained Data Transfer Rates (DTR) to maximise overall performance.” Selby continues, “Our new 8GB SDHC cards, as well as the 4GB Class 4 and 6 cards, are designed to satisfy the growing demand of consumers wanting to 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 optimises SDHC-compatible devices running MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and other high quality video compression used by consumer in HD and DVD video.

Kingston Technology’s complete range of SDHC memory cards are currently available through distributors, resellers, retailers and e-tailers and are backed by a lifetime warranty and 24/7 live technical support.
