OCZ Technology Enhances SDHC Memory Family with New Speed Class 6 Rated Cards

Sunnyvale, CA—May 9, 2007—OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today introduced Speed Class 6 rated memory cards to their high-performance Secure Digital™ HC (SD High Capacity) family. As higher resolution digital cameras and camcorders enter the market, faster and large-capacity memory cards are needed to take on the added size. Available in 4GB and 8GB configurations, these ultra-fast OCZ SDHC cards are ideal for the most advanced digital cameras and electronics.

OCZ SDHC cards comply with the new SDA 2.00 specifications to support capacities over 4GB. Adhering to the new speed ratings determined by the SD Association, OCZ SDHC Class 6 cards ensure a minimum write speed of 6MB/s. These large capacity cards are only compatible with SDHC compliant products and are not backwards compatible with traditional SD format devices. Increasingly more next generation devices will host SDHC memory.

“As more and more photographers make use of high end digital cameras, SDHC cards provide increased performance and image storage capacity,” said Alex Mei, Executive VP and CMO, OCZ Technology Group. “OCZ is excited to offer the newest addition to our SDHC family, Class 6 SDHC cards, which deliver superior sustained write speeds, allowing faster storage and transfer of even the largest high resolution images and video.” READ MORE

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
