Kingston is releasing all kinds of goodies these days. Last week we heard about their Collegiate microSD cards, earlier we saw their speedy CF Ultimate Cards, now they’ve dropped two more announcements in our laps.
The first announcement is that they will be releasing their 4GB miniSDHC cards in Class 2, 4 and 6 speed ratings. Who cares what the class rating is, as long as it’s big right? Well, if you don’t mind transferring your data at a painfully slow rate, then there’s no reason to worry. If aren’t familiar with the class ratings, the number represents the minimum sustained data transfer rate (or DTR) in MB/sec. So a Class 6 card would have a minimum DTR of 6MB/sec. The new 4GB cards will range only from $62 to $66, however, you’ll want to make sure you get the right card for your device, as they are not backwards-compatible with regular miniSD devices.
Kingston introduces its new high-speed CompactFlash Ultimate memory cards. Twice as fast as the previous one, it is rated 266X write speed. The new Kingston’s CF cards come with MediaRECOVER data recovery software for Windows and Mac to restore corrupted images files. The cards are available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB storage capacities with price tag of $83, $144, and $280 respectively.
