Lexar Reveals 64GB And 128GB Class 10 SDXC Cards
The flash memory game, of all games, is starting to heat up. With HD video recording on the minds of nearly everyone these days, having a card that's fast enough to capture it all is quite important. More and more HD devices are supporting the Secure Digital format, and SDXC in particular. Today, Lexar Media introduced their new professional SDXC memory card solutions -- two cards that are about as highly touted as they come.
The first is a 64GB Class 10 SDXC card, while the second is the industry's first 128GB Class 10 card. Both offer minimum guaranteed speeds of 133x (20MB per second), and accelerate the workflow by providing fast transfer of high-res images and HD video from the card to a computer. They each also have a limited lifetime warranty, free dedicated technical support and the latest version of award-winning Image Rescue software to help recover lost or deleted photo and video files.
The new 64GB and 128GB Lexar Professional SDXC memory cards will be available in the first quarter of 2011 at leading retailers and on Lexar.com, with MSRPs of $399.99 and $699.99, respectively. Not cheap by any measure, but that's the price you pay for high capacity and high speed.
