Delkin Delivers Very Fast SDHC Memory Cards

It appears that Delkin figured it might as well build upon the UHS specifications and create a line of SDHC memory cards, dubbed Elite 633, which don't mind demanding solid prices in exchange for performance and reliability.

Nowadays, cameras and video recorders are constantly improving and the resolutions at which they operate are higher than ever.

As such, better and better storage solutions are needed, since the writing speeds of memory cards determine whether said images and video feeds are actually recorded properly.

Of course, not everyone can afford high-end cards, hence the Class rating system, which divides them based on speeds.

Delkin decided not to bother striving for affordability too much, so it based the Elite 633 line of SDHC cards on the UHS specifications (the full name of the series is Elite 633 UHS-I).

Three models are available, with capacities of 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB, respectively, all of them with transfer speeds of up to 80 MB/s and 95 MB/s when writing and reading, respectively.

“With DSLRs shooting RAW in continuous bursts that exceed 10 frames per second and pro video cameras regularly shooting streaming HD and 3D video, imaging professionals need a card that won’t slow them down,” explains CEO Martin Wood.

“The Elite 633 card is the first Secure Digital card that promises to keep up with the most advanced imaging equipment in the market.”

With prices of $139.99 , $249.99 and $439.99, the 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB cards should start selling on April 13, backed by lifetime warranties. They all have ECC (Error Correction Code) and Wear Leveling data management.
 
“We expect the new speed capabilities to have a substantial impact on videography in particular,” explains Marketing Manager Anna Lopez.

“Limitations that have existed in digital imaging for years are all of a sudden lifted, and we are anxious to see more industries moving over to digital capture because of it.”
