microSDHC UHS-I and microSDXC UHS-I Memory Cards announced by Lexar

Designed for adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies, these cards enable outdoor enthusiasts to capture up to eight hours of their greatest moments in HD and share it with friends faster. Users can also store up to 24,800 photos or 14,200 songs,** and when paired with the included USB 3.0 reader, get fast transfer rates from their memory card to their PC or Mac computer.

Mobile devices are increasingly being used to capture all of life's important moments, and the expectation to capture high-quality video is becoming the norm, so people need a reliable and efficient way to store and manage this content, said Manisha Sharma, director of product marketing, Lexar. High-capacity, high-speed storage solutions like the Lexar High-Performance microSDHC UHS-I and microSDXC UHS-I cards give people the right mix of capacities and transfer speeds to let them record these events and relive them later, quickly and easily.

The design of our new 64GB microSDXC card was made possible by utilizing Micron's newest, 64Gbit, 20nm process technology NAND flash memory. Together with creative die-stacking techniques and uniquely engineered firmware in our UHS-I capable controller, Lexar was able to design and produce this product at the 300x performance level to meet the needs of our customers. Our total High-Performance retail solution — which includes an ultra-compact USB 3.0 microSD high-speed reader — achieves an optimal blend of price and performance demanded by our retail customers that focus on video capture and quick file offloading to a PC and the Internet, said Wes Brewer, vice president, products and technology for Lexar.

Lexar works with major mobile device manufacturers to ensure cards are compatible with their solutions. Furthermore, Lexar memory card designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with more than 800 digital devices. The 32GB High-Performance microSDHC UHS-I and 64GB High-Performance microSDXC UHS-I memory cards come with a limited lifetime warranty, and the included USB 3.0 reader comes with a one-year limited warranty.
