Poway, CA. July 28th, 2016 – Delkin Devices, a USA based manufacturer of flash memory cards tailored for photography and cinematic use, announced today their fastest family of microSD (uSD) memory cards, featuring transfer rates up to 285MB/s. The new 1900X UHS-II Speed Class 3 memory cards utilize a controlled design and production process to guarantee peak performance in today’s newest action cameras, drones, cell phones, and other microSD hosts, and is designed to handle large file sizes like those created by 4K video, high frame rates, and simultaneous still & video recording.
Unlike other microSD memory cards, the new 1900X cards utilize UHS-II technology and includes a second row of transfer pins along the back of the card, allowing these cards to communicate and read and write data at speeds that weren’t possible before.
“It’s like we doubled the size of the watering hose, and in doing so, multiplied the output five-fold,” explains Delkin’s Marketing Director, Anna Gabele. “More cameras are taking advantage of UHS-II technology and building in the second row of pins that allow us to achieve these speeds, so although there aren’t many cameras that can take advantage of the speed that our new microSD 1900X is capable of now, there certainly will be in the future. Already we have seen two new UHS-II enabled cameras released this year, including one from Nikon and another from Fuji.”
UHS-II memory cards, like the new Delkin microSD 1900X, are fully backwards compatible with cameras and other host devices that are not UHS-II enabled. While your current camera may not be able to fully utilize the speed now, you will be able to use the Delkin microSD 1900X and should still see a big improvement in speed, particularly when downloading files to your computer. In addition to transfer rates of 285MB/s, the new card features write speeds of 100MB/s, making it one of the fastest microSD memory cards in the world.
Delkin’s new microSDXC 1900X UHS-II U3 memory cards are available now in capacities of 64GB and 128GB, starting at $119.99 at camera stores around the world. The cards feature a Lifetime Warranty, and include a full-sized SD Adapter so that they may be used in SD cameras and host devices in addition to microSD cameras, drones, cell phones, and host devices. Every card also includes a storage tote that protects the card and adapter when not in use.
Future-Proof Design, Compatible Today, and Ready for Tomorrow
Delkin’s microSDXC 1900X UHS-II microSD are built for today’s high resolution cameras, drones, cell phones, and action cameras that utilize advanced shooting modes like 4K UHD, 1080p HD, and slow motion recording, but are also compatible with cameras that are five years older or more. By being compatible with cameras that pre-date UHS ratings, but taking advantage of high end features that UHS-I and UHS-II enabled cameras offer, these cards are designed to work on yesterday’s and today’s cameras, as well as those that will launch in the future.
Included SD Adapter Enables Expanded Use
Delkin’s microSDXC 1900X UHS-II microSD include a full sized SD Adapter, enabling the microSD card to be used as a SD card as well as a microSD card. The fingernail sized card can be slid into the adapter to be used in any SD camera, or used alone in any microSD host, including action cameras, drones, cameras, cell phones, and tablet PCs.
Durable Design and Controlled Manufacturing
Delkin is proud to design each card and control each component that goes into it to ensure consistent quality and compatibility with today’s cameras. Our extensive test bench of cameras and host devices is reviewed and added to often as new devices are introduced, with every card design tested rigorously in varied shooting environments for excellence. Unlike some brands that change components and designs often to shave costs, Delkin is proud to design and build our own cards to ensure consistent compatibility and quality that is backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
