14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that cramming as much capacity as possible inside tiny packages has become quite the trend nowadays, with Kingmax now stepping forward to provide a sort of alternative to what most consumers might be used to.
Nowadays, there are so many mobile devices on sale that it is practically impossible to count them all, so the same goes for what they are made of.
When it comes to storage, however, there aren't many memory card formats that can be used in diminutive smartphones and other portable things, like cameras and the like.
Of course, models exist in the myriad, but the variety isn't that large, since all newcomers adhere to an existing form factor and performance type.
The new micro SD card that Kingmax created can be seen as a sort of representative of the higher end of the pyramid, at least capacity-wise.
While the class 6 speed rating doesn't precisely match the Class 10 of this Kingston microSDHC, the capacity of 64 GB does.
Measuring 15 mm x11 mm x1.0 mm, the newcomer complies with the SD2.0 specification outlined by the SD Card Association, plus SD3.0.
All in all, it should prove to be highly energy efficient, long-lived (thanks to wear leveling algorithm) and reliable (Error Correction Code).
As one would have expected, Kingmax is offering an adapter that will allow the newcomer to be used as an SD card or an USB flash drive.
Finally, it is plug and play-ready, meaning that it will be easy to have it perform its duties in PDAs, PCs, digital cameras, multimedia players and other things.
Finally, compliance with the CE, FCC and RoHS specifications means that the 64 GB micro SD card is environment-friendly.
The official press release does not mention any pricing details, but it shouldn't be long before this final mystery is unraveled.
