UHS-I card, the world’s highest capacity full-sized SD™ memory card.
These new offerings expand the company’s impressive portfolio of 4K
Ultra High Definition (3840x2160p)1 capable products. For
more than 25 years, SanDisk has been committed to delivering
breakthrough technologies that expand the possibilities of storage.
The New Era of 4K Ultra HD Video
4K Ultra HD video resolution is the next generation of video quality
ushering a new era of consumer devices that require fast, reliable
storage as a core enabling component.
The exceptional resolution that 4K Ultra HD video delivers comes at the
expense of very large files that can reach up to four times the size of
a Full HD (1080p) video file. The SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I
card, the fastest microSD UHS-I memory card in the world, now comes with
up to 64GB of storage to address consumers’ desire to generate high
quality 4K Ultra HD content. With transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s*,
users can shoot like a pro and still experience world-class
responsiveness from their smartphone, tablet or action camera. The card
also features Class 10 and UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) ratings, which are
recommended by the SD Association for 4K Ultra HD video capture.
“4K video capture is being implemented in smartphones and ‘prosumer’
cameras and camcorders much more quickly than was the case when HD was
launched. SanDisk understands where the market is headed and has the
foresight to create solutions that enable optimal video capture and
sharing across multiple host devices," said Chris Chute, vice president,
SMB Cloud & Mobility, IDC.
“Features like 4K Ultra HD video recording, which were once only
available on high-end devices, have quickly gained popularity and
adoption,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing,
SanDisk. “There is no doubt 4K Ultra HD is a game-changer and we are
committed to enabling the next generation of video capture and sharing.”
SanDisk has also upgraded its range of memory cards and SSDs to enable
consumers to take full advantage of 4K Ultra HD:
-
The SanDisk Extreme, SanDisk Extreme PLUS and SanDisk Extreme PRO
microSDHC™/microSDXC memory card families have been upgraded to the U3
standard to deliver 4K Ultra HD.
-
The new 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I card, the world’s highest
capacity SD card, will allow users to capture more video and photos on
an SD card than ever before.
-
The SanDisk Extreme PRO SSDs deliver 24/7 consistent pro-level
performance for the most demanding and graphics-intensive
applications, and are now qualified by Atomos
and Blackmagic
Design, two industry pioneers, for 4K RAW and 4K ProRes capture.

Stand: A014.
