2Gb High Speed MMC Card Released
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 06:00 PM
After the talk of cheaper memory, there's no word yet of a price for the following, seen at dpreview:
"At Computex Taipei today Pretec demonstrated a new 2 GB card which conforms to the new MMC 4 standard and which Pretec are calling the 'World's Fastest Flash Memory Card'. Thanks to the fact that MMC 4 allows for transfer of 4-bits of data in parallel this new card has a quoted write speed of around 18 MB/sec (120X) and a read speed of around 22.5 MB/sec (150X). If verified this card would indeed be far faster than any current flash memory card. The new card is also backwardly compatible with standard SD / MMC devices."
So, combine this with a Pretec 12Gb CF card and you should be set for storage for a while. :wink:
