OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Making our way over to Caesars Palace during CES 2015 week in Las Vegas, we dropped by the Kingston Digital presentation suite to see what the company had up its flash memory sleeve. If you’re looking for a better and more reliable way to record high quality 4K video or you want a safe and secure flash drive that will automatically back up your data to the cloud, Kingston’s got you covered.

First, with products like the GoPro Hero series of action cameras, 4K video recording has become increasingly commonplace even among regular consumers. When you have that much data being pushed through, you need to have memory that can keep up with those speeds. To that end, Kingston Digital revealed a new microSD card that not only adheres to the standards for the UHS-1, Speed Class 3 standards set out by the SD Association, but far exceeds them.

The UHS-1 U3 standard calls for a minimum 30 MB/s read and write speed. With Kingston’s card, you get far more impressive 90-80 MB/s read-write speeds. This way, you’ll have no trouble recording super high quality video, even in 3D, without skipping a bit. And given the context of “extreme” cameras, it’s good to hear that this little thumbnail-sized memory card is really durable too. It’s waterproof, shockproof, X-ray proof and temperature proof too.

For a flash drive that’s more than just a flash drive, Kingston has its DataTraveler Locker+ G3. This USB 3.0 flash drive is notable for two key reasons. First, It has been designed to be highly secure, offering both hardware encryption and password protection. This way, should you misplace your drive, you don’t have to worry about someone stealing your information. Second, if you do happen to lose your drive, you’ll have the peace of mind that your data has already been automatically backed up to the cloud too.

The DataTraveler Locker+ G3 features the option to automatically back up your data to a cloud service of your choosing, including support for Dropbox, Amazon S3, OneDrive and Google Drive. Just plug it into an Internet-connected computer and it’ll do its thing, all at fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds.

The Kingston 4K-ready microSD card is shipping in capacities of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, while the DataTraveler Locker+ G3 USB flash drive comes in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB configurations. Both products aim for about the $1/GB benchmark, so shop around for the best deal.

  • UHS-I Speed Class 3 90MB/s Read, 80MB/s Write Performance
  • microSD Form Factor Compatible with Adventure Cameras & Mobile Devices
  • Durable: Water & Temperature-proof; Shock + Vibration-proof; X-ray-proof

2015 International CES & Fountain Valley, CA – January 6, 2015 – Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the microSD UHS-I Speed Class 3 90MB/s read, 80MB/s write card (SDCA3). The card far exceeds the SD Association’s latest specification release, UHS-1 U3 (Ultra High-Speed Bus, Speed Class 3) rated for 30MB/s read/write.

The 90-80MB/s read-write speeds allow sports/adventure enthusiasts and users alike to capture cinema-quality Full HD (1080p), Ultra HD (2160p), 3D and 4K2K videos on high performance small form factor devices such as smartphones and cameras used by adventure and thrill seekers. Additionally, video playback at all resolutions up to 4K2K can be played without stutter or interruption. Fast speeds also translate to faster file uploads for computer editing, especially when using USB 3.0 card readers such as the Kingston® MobileLite G4 or USB 3.0 Media Reader.

With the emergence of tough and rugged performance cameras, users can rely on the SDCA3 card for its durability and reliability. It is the perfect companion card when capturing a downhill ski run, surfboarding and hang-gliding as the card is water-, shock/vibration-, X-ray- and temperature-proof.

“The growing adoption of high performance cameras and Android™-based mobile devices has prompted Kingston to provide fast microSD cards to maximize device performance,” said Jean Wong, Flash Business Manager. “We are confident that our new 90-80MB/s microSD card is built for extreme conditions and users will be able to capture all the memories they want on the card.”

SDCA3 is available as a stand-alone card or with an SD card adapter in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. Kingston recommends its latest readers for best card transfer speeds to and from a computer. The SDCA3 is backed by a lifetime warranty, free technical support, and legendary Kingston reliability.
