Toshiba launches fastest Exceria Pro SD card

Toshiba is advertising its top of the line Exceria Pro range of memory cards as the world's fastest SD card. The Exceria Pro will come in 16GB and 32GB capacities, with maximum read and write speeds of 260MB/s and 240MB/s respectively.

The reason Toshiba can make such a super fast memory card is thanks to the new controller developed by the company which is compatible with UHS-II. This ultra high speed version 4.10 serial bus interface offers access speeds of 156MB/s (single channel) and 312MB/s (dual channel). The company has not yet mentioned pricing for the cards, but the Exceria Pro is expected to be released in October, with the regular Exceria product line launching in November.
