Portable storage is going bonkers these days and that’s all for the good too, especially since you can now cart around a cracking 16GB on a single SDHC card.
That’s what’s on offer from the new Transcend 16GB Class 6 SDHC card, one of first out there. It only seems like a few months ago that we were agog over 4GB and 8GB SD Cards. The card is based on SD 2.0 technology and since it’s Class 6, it supports fast data transfer speeds with a guaranteed minimum write speed of 6MB/s making it ideal for use with high-end digital cameras and HD camcorders.
The company says that 16GB is enough to store over 8,000 high-resolution 7MP photos, not to mention a lot of video, and even full-size DVD movies for entertainment on the go. The card sports a mechanical write protection switch to protect your precious moments from accidental deletion and ECC (Error Correcting Code) which wards against data corruption during transfer.
It is priced at around £100. At this rate of development, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a 32GB version on the horizon by next Easter.-Martin Lynch
