Samsung Introduces New EVO And Pro SD Cards

Samsung has introduced two new memory cards aimed toward content creators. The Pro Plus and EVO Plus SD cards are supposed to offer “exceptional speeds and improved durability”. Meant for all kinds of devices including DSLR cameras, the new cards offer sequential read and write speeds of up to 100MB/s and 90MB/s.

Dr. Mike Mang, vice president of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics, said, “Samsung has gone beyond that with the PRO Plus and EVO Plus SD cards, providing additional layers of protective measures to withstand intensive usage and the most rugged conditions.”

The company says that the stated performance should be enough to deliver ‘flawless’ performance for 4K UHD video recording. Storage options range from 32GB to 256GB, but the EVO Plus alone, delivers 100MB/s transfer speeds. These cards are also able to withstand water, temperature, x-rays, magnets and shocks.

Both cards are offered with a 10-year limited warranty, and are said to be drop-proof, wearout-proof and are capable of withstanding up to five-meter drop as well as up to 10,000 swipes.
