Lexar Introduces Platinum II and Standard Line Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Flash Memory Cards
Lexar Platinum II SDHC cards will be available next month in 4GB capacity
and speed-rated at 60X, capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 9MB per
second. (By SDHC specifications, the cards are SDHC Class 6 -- providing
a minimum sustained write speed of greater than 6MB per second.) Lexar Platinum
II SDHC memory cards include the standard edition of Corel Photo Album 6 and
a limited lifetime warranty.
Standard Lexar SDHC cards will also be available next month in 4GB capacity.
By SDHC specifications, the cards are SDHC Class 2 -- providing a minimum
sustained write speed of greater than 2MB per second. Standard Lexar SDHC cards
include the starter edition of Corel Photo Album 6 and a 5-year limited warranty.
Lexar is providing additional value to both the Platinum II and Standard SDHC
flash memory card packages by including an SDHC-enabled card reader that allows
for high-speed data transfer from card to destination device.
Lexar Platinum II 4GB SDHC cards and Standard Lexar 4GB SDHC cards will be available
in February at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $99.99 and $79.99,
respectively.
SDHC cards are based on the Secure Digital Association's 2.0 specifications,
utilizing the FAT32 file system. While the form factor of SDHC cards is identical
to that of standard SD cards, SDHC cards are not backwards compatible with standard
SD host devices, meaning that SDHC cards cannot be used in standard SD host
devices. SDHC cards are specifically designed for use with SDHC-enabled devices,
and allow users to leverage the higher capacity offered by the card within those
devices.
