Samsung's newest PRO Plus memory cards are faster than their predecessors
Today, Samsung has released refreshed memory cards designed for professionals. The faster PRO Plus microSD and SD cards now offer read speeds up to 180MB/s and write speeds up to 130MB/s. These cards offer the ability to capture 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) and Full HD (FHD) videos and photos, making them an ideal choice for content creators and other professionals, such as photographers and videographers.
The new microSD cards are currently available in capacities up to 512GB, while the full-size SD cards are being offered at a maximum capacity of 256GB. The Samsung PRO Plus memory cards also support a video speed class rating of V30, enabling professionals to quickly move large video files while editing.
Samsung PRO Endurance microSD card puts longevity and durability over speed
Speed is great, but it isn't always the most important thing. For instance, a very fast car is surely fun, but if the vehicle is unreliable and dangerous, who really cares about speed? I'd rather arrive to my location alive and without breaking down -- even if it takes a bit longer.
That is sort of the philosophy behind Samsung's newest "PRO Endurance" microSD card. Rather than focus on raw performance, this card is instead designed for longevity and durability. It is an ideal storage solution for surveillance cameras, police body-cameras, automobile dash-cams, and more. With all of that said, while the card isn't the fastest on the market, it isn't really slow either -- it offers up to 100MB/s read and up to 40MB/s write.
