Samsung has announced new range of SD and microSD cards in its PRO, EVO and Standard lineup with a diverse range of capacities from 4GB to 64GB.
The new lineup is designed specifically with the 5-proof technology to ensure maximum reliability of data stored. The flash cards are available in the global markets. However, the company is yet to disclose the pricing information.
“Samsung plans to take the lead in the growth of high-density memory cards by strengthening our product competitiveness through improved performance, product quality, broad capacity options and sophisticated design,” said Unsoo Kim, senior vice president of brand product marketing team at Samsung Electronics.
