Silicon Power Launches Fast and Reliable 133X Ultra Speed SD Memory Cards

2005-08-23

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (Aug. 23, 2005) ---As digital cameras with 8 mega pixels and fashionable 3G cellular phones become available on the market, memory card manufacturers have also flooded the market with a sea of small format high speed memory cards designed to be used with the latest and most cutting-edge 3C digital products. Memory card manufacturers have all focused their attention on the memory card speed, however, consumers should be aware that although memory cards with dual channels are faster, they are also high in power consumption and suffer from potential compatibility problems. On a digital camera with limited power supply, which memory card is truly suitable? And despite the fact that virtually all high-speed SD memory cards are SDA 1.1 compliant, the Silicon Power 133X SD high-speed memory card line is unique among its peers.


Introducing Silicon Power 133X Ultra Fast SD Memory Card

Silicon Power Product Manager MR. Neo Ho says that the speed of the SD cards available on the market is getting faster and faster, and memory cards with 1GB of storage capacity are now mainstream. The read/write speed of the memory card is important, as digital images are becoming larger. For example, a 5 million pixel digital camera image would require considerable time to be written into the memory card after the image was taken by the camera. With more images writing takes even longer. The Silicon Power 133X Ultra Speed SD memory card supports up to 2GB and can satisfy professional photographers with their needs for high speed, continuous shooting and recording.

Currently, the Silicon Power 133X Ultra Speed SD memory card has a maximum data read speed of 20MB/sec and data write speed of 12MB/sec, which totally meets the SDCA (Secure Digital Card Association) 1.1 regulation without utilizing dual channel design. Therefore, the Silicon Power 133X Ultra Speed SD memory card is the best choice for consumers needs, providing high performance on mobile electronic devices with a limited power supply.

The Myth of the Dual Channel High Speed Memory Card

The so-called “Dual Channel” memory cards utilize both 2 identical memory IC chips and 2 identical controllers (example, two 512MB chips for a 1GB memory card,) to improve the performance. Therefore, that will increase power consumption.

Similar to a PC with two separate memory modules which consume more power, dual channel memory cards also consume more power and their improvement in performance is hardly notable in general. A memory card that sacrifices valuable power resources for an intangible performance increase, may not be the best choice when you purchase a memory card for your digital camera.

Silicon Power 133X Ultra Speed SD memory card: Fast and Reliable

Fast and Reliable Silicon Power products have been sold around the world in more than 90 countries. Silicon Power only uses high-quality memory modules and Silicon Power’s new 133X Ultra Speed SD memory card utilizes single a IC chip design to minimize power consumption. Silicon Power provides consumers with high speed, low power consumption, lifetime warranty service and high quality memory cards. The Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) technology also improves compatibility and data security. Silicon Power’s 133X Ultra High Speed SD memory card is both fast and reliable, and comes with a global lifetime warranty for unrivaled protection of our customers.
