To serve the growing implementation of 4K video capture in smartphones and tablets, SanDisk bowed what it’s calling the world’s fastest microSD UHS-I memory card. The 64 GB SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I card has enough storage to “address consumers’ desire to generate high quality 4K Ultra HD content,” the company said Tuesday. With transfer speeds of up to 95 Mbps, “users can shoot like a pro and still experience world-class responsiveness from their smartphone, tablet or action camera,” it said. Ultra HD video capture “is being implemented in smartphones and ‘prosumer’ cameras and camcorders much more quickly than was the case when HD was launched,” the company said. “Features like 4K Ultra HD video recording, which were once only available on high-end devices, have quickly gained popularity and adoption,” it said. “There is no doubt 4K Ultra HD is a game-changer.” Performance won’t come cheap in the 64 GB memory card, which lists for $299, though there is a 16-GB version at $79.
