Fremont, CA, 9 January, 2012 - Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory
products, today introduced new Lexar(r) Professional 600x and 400x Secure Digital
High Capacity (SDHC(tm)) and Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC(tm)) Ultra High
Speed I (UHS-I) memory cards, including the industry's first 128GB SDXC UHS-I
card. The cards offer outstanding performance, reliability, and compatibility
for professional and enthusiast photographers and videographers alike,
maximising the digital workflow experience of capturing and managing large
volumes of high-quality images and extended lengths of 1080p full-HD video.
The Lexar Professional 600x and 400x SDHC and SDXC cards leverage UHS-I
technology, and offer an impressive 90MB per second and 60MB per second minimum
guaranteed transfer speed, respectively.* Compatible with all SDHC and SDXC
devices, the cards help accelerate the digital photography workflow, helping
clear the camera's buffer for uninterrupted shooting and quickly transferring
images and video from the memory card to the computer, especially when paired
with a compatible card reader, such as the Lexar(r) Professional USB 3.0
Dual-Slot Reader. The Lexar Professional 600x UHS-I cards are offered in
capacities of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, and the new Lexar Professional 400x UHS-I
cards are available in capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, making
them great solutions for capturing sustained, rapid-fire images and extended
lengths of 1080p high-definition (HD) video with an SDXC- or SDHC-enabled
camera.
'The speed of my workflow is a top concern since it can ultimately impact my
business. How efficiently I take and edit my images determines how quickly I
can deliver them to my clients,' said Lexar Elite Photographer Chris McLennan,
who is world-renowned for his travel and adventure photography. 'Lexar
Professional memory solutions have always been a critical part of my workflow,
and they enhance my capture and post-production experience while keeping my
images safe. If you're a professional looking for the combination of speed,
capacity, and reliability in a memory card, the Lexar Professional 600x and
400x SDXC and SDHC UHS-I memory cards are great options.'
'Professional and hobbyist photographers and videographers are always seeking
ways to improve how they capture, store, and transfer their captured content,'
said Pachi Chen-Wong, senior product marketing manager, Lexar. 'Lexar
Professional 600x and 400x SDXC and SDHC UHS-I memory cards offer
high-performance read and write speeds, making them great options for shooters
who need solutions that help them shorten the process of capturing, managing,
and editing content, so they can focus more of their time and energy on getting
great images and video.'
The cards include the latest version of Image Rescue(r) 4 software to help with
the recovery of lost or deleted photo and video files, even if they've been
erased or the card has been corrupted,** as well as a limited lifetime warranty
and free, dedicated professional technical support. All Lexar product designs
are tested in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality,
compatibility, and reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.
