Transcend Information SDHC Class 10 UHS-I memory card

Transcend Information has announced the SDHC Class 10 UHS-I memory card.

Combining the Class 10 specification with the performance boost of UHS-I, Transcend SDHC Class 10 ultra high-speed memory cards are designed for high-end digital cameras and camcorders.

Developed by the Secure Digital Card Association as part of its SD version 3.01 specifications, UHS-I is claimed to be the fastest category card available. The Class 10 SDHC UHS-I cards have a four times faster transfer rate compared with Class 10 alone, realising transfer speeds of up to 85 MBps when paired with UHS-I compatible devices.

Modern professional grade camcorders and DSLRs can fill memory cards quickly, capturing digital video and photographs at extremely high resolutions without compromising image quality. To meet these demands, the cards are available in high-capacity sizes of 8 or 16 GB, enough to store two hours and 40 minutes of video content when recording in high quality 1920 x 1080 AVCHD format at 13 Mbps compression.

With a slight reduction in quality settings, the same 16 GB card can record up to six full hours of high definition video.

The SDHC Class 10 UHS-I card includes the company's RecoveRx software for retrieving accidentally deleted or lost files.
