SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced the world’s fastest microSD UHS-I memory  card, the 64GB SanDisk Extreme PRO® microSDXC™ UHS-I card. The company also  announced the 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC™ 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,” Rajesh Gupta, Country Manager India, SanDisk Corporation. “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.”
