Mobile devices are essential for our daily life, but for most of us, the internal memory storage on these devices is inadequate. Unfortunately, this problem is only getting worse, as activities like photo taking, video recording, and downloading, demand increasingly more memory. As a result, many users expand available memory on their mobile devices by inserting SD cards. According to Strategy Analytics, 75% of smart phones include a microSD slot, which points to the fact that SD cards are now an essential feature for many mobile devices. The SD industry trade group, SD Association (SDA), continuously improves SD card specifications and protocols in order to satisfy the ever increasing demand for memory.
SDXC
Does SDXC really live up its Claims? – Detailed Memory Module Test Report
SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) standard was first introduced in spring 2009 at CES by SDA (SD Association). Already the dominating memory card standard, SDXC is an upgrade revision of its successful predecessor SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) to accommodate rising demand of a faster and higher capacity memory module. While SDXC may have seen promising to become the next mainstream memory card standard, is it really as good and as fast as they say it is?
