Kingston Digital introduces speedy SDHC cards
PHOTO ALBUM ENABLER for the modern age, Kingston Digital is bragging about its latest SDHC memory cards, which it says are the highest speed class available.
According to the firm the Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) UHS-I UltimateXX memory cards are world beaters and meet high security standards.
The cards are aimed at professional video makers and photographers, but are also likely to find favour among deep pocketed amateurs as well. Kingston claims that they make it easy to capture video content and will propel memory card optimisation into the stratosphere when used in conjunction with an UHS-I device.
"Kingston is pleased to be one of the first manufacturers to offer SDHC UHS-I memory cards to our customers," said Jim Selby, European product manager at Kingston Technology. "Being a member of the SD Association enhances our ability to bring new technology to market. As the devices that support SDHC UHS-I become prevalent; our UltimateXX cards are at the ready."
The firm says that the three Ultimate cards meet all of the SD Associations' standards while increasing write speeds by up to three times compared against your run of the mill SDHC Class 10 cards.
Kingston's cards offer 35MB/sec write speed and 60MB/sec read speed and feature an in-built write protect switch to prevent data loss. Although they are not compliant with standard SD devices, Kingston says that they will work with SDHC and SDXC host units.
UltimateXX cards are available now in 8GB (£81), 16GB (£163) and 32GB (£327) versions. µ

I think I recall Toshiba's USH-I cards having read speeds up to 95MB/s and write of up to 80MB/s, so Kingston's aren't all that fast.
And how many 4K aligned random write IOPS does it do?
I've long ago gotten tired of the speed race in sequential write, when you only see it if you write gigantic files one at a time.

Like as if no other SDHC card has that
