Toshiba announces 256Gbyte microSD UHS-I card
The latest M203 microSD card available from Toshiba Electronics Europe offers premium features for mainstream users, including a 256Gbyte memory.
The microSD UHS-I card has a read speed of up to R100Mbyte per second, claimed to be the highest speed rate reached in this entry level category in the Toshiba memory card portfolio. The microSD M203 card is shockproof, water resistant and x-ray proof, based on Toshiba Memory Corporation’s test results. The IPX7 standard involves the product being submerged in static tap water at room temperature to a depth of one metre, left for 30minutes and still being able to function when taken out of the water. Toshiba also reports that the card can function after carrying out the gravity fall from a height of five meters.
Available in memory capacities from 16 to 256Gbyte, it is targeted at the mainstream customer with a cost-effective entry-level design in the UHS-I category, explains Toshiba. The microSD M203 offers mobile users faster transfer speed and the ability to add 256Gbyte of memory to smartphones, allowing users to download more apps and carry large amount of contents on their devices without concern about storage limitations. The ability to combine greater capacity is due to Toshiba 3D Flash Memory (BiCS FLASH) architecture, says the company.
