World's first 32 GB SDHC Memory Card

Toshiba reinforced today its line up of SD High Capacity (SDHC) cards with three new cards:
- The worlds first 32-gigabyte (GB) memory card in this high density.
- A 16GB SDHC card 
- An 8GB microSDHC card. 

The 16GB SDHC card will be available worldwide from October.
The 32GB SDHC card and 8GB microSDHC card will be launched worldwide in January next year.

The market for high density memory cards is growing fast, driven by increasing demand for personal digital equipment able to handle motion pictures and high resolution images. Demand for high density microSDHC cards is expected to emerge in the mobile phone market, as on-board cameras advance multi-megapixel capacities, and demand for music and motion pictures are expanding as well.

Toshiba will continue to expand and upgrade its SDHC and SD Memory Card series to meet the growing demand for high speed, high density products.

The expanded new card series will be featured at the IFA 2007, in Berlin, Germany from August 31 to September 5.

Technical details:
The new cards will be capable of a write speed in excess of 6MB/Second and useable with all devices compatible with the SDHC specification. 
With some compact cameras now topping 10 Megapixels and entry-level DSLRs increasingly using SD format, the arrival of higher capacity cards is sure to be welcomed by many. 
The new Toshiba 32GB SDHC Memory Card meets Class 4 in the "SD Speed Class", requiring high speed writing of at least 4MB/second, up to 6MB/second.
