MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory products, today announced the new Lexar^® Professional 1800x microSDHC™ and microSDXC™ UHS-II cards with read transfer speeds up to 270MB per second.¹ Designed for sports camcorders, aerial cameras, tablets, and smartphones, the new microSD™ cards leverage Ultra High Speed II (U3 technology) to provide faster capture, play back, and transfer of high-quality videos and photos.

“Today’s professional videographers, photographers, and mobile power users require a microSD card that delivers the speeds that the latest sophisticated devices require,” said Steffi Ho, product marketing manager, Lexar. “Whether using a smartphone, tablet, or aerial camera, the Lexar Professional 1800x microSD UHS-II cards let users manage their large media files and maximize workflow from start to finish.”

Based on internal testing, Lexar Professional 1800x microSD UHS-II card users can offload data up to nine times faster with the microSD UHS-II USB 3.0 reader than when transferring content using traditional sports camcorders and accompanying USB cable.³ Available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, Professional 1800x microSD UHS-II cards can quickly capture, play back, and transfer extended lengths of the highest quality 4K, 3D, and 1080p full-HD video, making it easy to preserve more than 15 hours of your favorite moments and then relive the action.⁴ As with all Lexar Professional cards, a lifetime copy of Image Rescue^® software is included to recover any lost or deleted files,⁵ and each card is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.⁶
