Plextor brings SSD series with 6-GBit/s-SATA-Anschluss

Plextor has a second series SSD announced the M2S means. Models with 64, 128 and 256 GB will to CeBIT in March will be available. The drives support 6 Gb / s SATA interface speed (Revision 3).

The controller chip is as with the previously inserted in series Plextor M1S of Marvell . He is called 88SS9174. Plextor has his own statements of "first-class performance with high read and write speeds, constant stability and durability," selected for. The write and read performance depends on the capacity of the drive. The reading performance ranges 370-480 MB / s write performance 110-330 MB / s.

With "Instant Restore Technology" promises Plextor constant stability and consistent performance even in long-term use. The M2S models support the TRIM command of Windows 7, with which the operating system, the SSD controller tells the data no longer needed, so it can delete at rest the unnecessary cells to be described later with no performance loss can.

The SSDs have 128 MB of cache and DDR3 with " Dynamic Wear Leveling "via a data distribution method.

Lexar announces SDXC memory card with 128 GB


First SDXC memory cards come in the first quarter with a capacity of 64 GB and 128 in trade.

Lexar Media is during the first quarter of his first SDXCMemory Cards imagine. The maps of the range Lexar Professional 133x are with capacities of 64 GB and 128 GB for 300 euros or 550 euros come on the market.

The targeting the professional segment memory card manufacturer to achieve a 133-times the speed and thus allow data transfer rates of 20 MByte / s (Class 10). So they are slower than high-endCompactFlashCards that transfer data at up to 90 MByte / s (600x) can be transferred. For this, the SDXC memory cards hold more data. Mainstream cards in the CompactFlash format can accommodate up to 64 GB of data.

Wants by 2012 SD Card Association the transfer speed of SD memory cards triple. The new SD 4.0 specification is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011. It will raise the maximum throughput of 300 MByte / sec. The current data SDHC (SD 2.0) and SDXC card (SD 3.0) allows data transfer rates of up to 104 MByte / s.

The SD format in all its forms has to prevail in the market for flash cards and cut out nearly all competitors can – such as Sony’s Memory Stick, and Olympus’ xD-Card. Only CompactFlash has held as an alternative especially for SLRs.

The CompactFlash Association working on a proposal from Sony, SanDisk and Nikon at a Recast based on the PCI Express interface (PCIe). The maximum data throughput should be as up to 500 MByte / s increase, the maximum capacity of up to 2 terabytes.

SD Card Association will transfer speed triple 2012

The SD Card Association card will significantly accelerate. Akihiro Kasahara said a representative at the IFA , the new SD 4.0 specification will be completed in the first quarter of 2011. 2012 could be the first products of the present state three times the speed available to be compared with.

The current data SDHC – (SD 2.0) and SDXC cards (SD 3.0) allows data transfer rates of up to 104 MByte / s. SD 4.0, this maximum throughput of 300 Mbyte / s lift, "said Kevin Schrader, spokesman for the SD Association.

Not every electronic device will benefit from a faster card bus. In the case of SLR cameras, however, the next picture will only start once the previous has been moved from the memory on the card. For series of photos is faster than a bus extremely important – especially as the resolution exceeds not only in the high-end sector has often 10 megapixels, the amount of data is so huge. The file transfer from one card over a reader to a PC could also be faster – depending on the internal or external connection of the reader to the system.

Technically, the increased throughput achieved by a second set of electrical contacts on the reverse side, said Schrader. The exact number of which is currently discussed within the Organisation.

Controversial is the official name for the new generation. Currently defined as the fastest cards I UHS (Ultra High-Speed Bus), so II is obvious UHS argues Kasahara. The new cards will be usable in the old readers, but of course not their speed can benefit from.

The SD format in all its forms has become the market for flash cards by rely on and cut out nearly all competitors can – such as Sony’s Memory Stick, and Olympus’ xD-Card. Only CompactFlash alternative system has generally held as SLR.


SD 4.0 is through additional contacts on the back of up to three times faster than current cards are.
