Toshiba Releases Fastest Ever microSD Memory Cards do 260 MB/s
Toshiba introduced the world's fastest microSD memory cards. The new cards are the first in the industry to comply with the UHS-II interface standard, the ultra high speed serial bus interface defined in the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 4.20. Available in 32 GB and 64 GB capacities, Toshiba's new microSD memory cards offer the fastest transfer rates available, are UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) enabled, and allow high-quality 4K video capture at constant minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. This means that 4K2K video, live broadcast and content can be recorded on high-performance cameras.
The 64 GB cards offer a maximum read speed of 260 MB/s and a maximum write speed of 240 MB/s. The 32 GB cards have a maximum read speed of 145 MB/s and maximum write speed of 130 MB/s, which represents an 8x write speed improvement and 2.7x read speed improvement when compared to Toshiba's current 32 GB microSD UHS-I cards. These faster transfer speeds reduce the time required to download large data movie and music files to smart phones and tablets, and enable camera users to shoot high resolution digital still images in a continuous high speed shooting mode.
Sample shipments for chipset vendors and set manufacturers of smart phones and other mobile devices are available now. For more information on memory products from Toshiba, please visit this page.

There are already fast Toshiba flash drives out there, they're just harder to find than Samsung. It's not that they aren't any good, just Samsung and Sandisk etc. have the brand name.

Looks good! I'll have to bear these in mind. I just bought an SD card from SanDisk which has read and writes of around 95mb/s.

The performance figures in the table look like they are reversed for the 32 and 64GB versions. Either that or the text above it is wrong (unlikely because Hilbert copied/pasted it - ghehe).

Nice! For a change, a company other than Samsung was the first to bring out faster read/write speed memory cards.
