Silicon Power Launches the Superior Pro SDXC UHS-II Card

[btarunr]

Silicon Power releases the new Superior Pro SDXC UHS-II card for professional content creators in every niche. It's compatible with all of the latest devices including DSLR cameras, drones, and cinema-quality video recorders.Complement high-end devices and capture superior content with the advanced UHS-II interface and V60 Video Speed Class. Use it for 3D or 360° photography. Record uninterrupted, cinema-grade videos in 4K Ultra HD resolution. Or, shoot continuous high-quality JPEG and RAW images with no lag.

With a Video Speed Class 60 (V60) rating, you'll get minimum sustained write speeds of 60 MB/s. This eliminates the risk of sudden decreases in performance that would otherwise cause dropped frames, bits of compromised video quality, and other issues.



Capture Everything With Incredible Speeds
UHS-II technology empowers this card to reach incredibly fast speeds. Accelerate your workflow from start to finish in a snap with read speeds up to 280 MB/s. Tackle burst-mode photography with ease or record smooth and uninterrupted videos with write speeds up to 170 MB/s.

One makes a PR photo...

Slaps a vintage Sony PDW-700 camera that doesn't even use SDCARD, but XDCAM CD's

Even manages to make it in non existing lefty edition for aesthetic reasons.

Just asking why no Camera/Laptop/Drone/Mobile Phone/etc. producers want to utilize SD Express technology, which SD7.0 spec was ready in June 2018: SD Express card with PCIe 3.1 • Then SD7.1: microSD Express card with PCIe 3.1 interface (Feb 2019) • Then SD8.0: SD Express with dual lane and PCIe 4.0 (March 2020) (3.9GB/s read speed on 2 lane PCIe4.0 config). None of them were implemented by SD cards producers in real product probably as an outcome of above. Who is slowing progress? Why?

(Also SD9.0 was finished in 2022 and SD10 including PCIe5.0 spec probably in 2023)

Want? Because no serious video person does use INTERNAL recording. If you call vlogger folks swinging iPhone professionals, then do not read further.

Even pro solution from Panasonic have external recorders. That provides redundancy, speed and better image quality as the video data output often does higher bitrates and modes than the internal camera CPU is capable of encoding on the fly. Just because of various reasons, power and thermals and thermals are the reason why nobody will bother with faster SDexpress iterations in near future, higher thermals for the camera means more sensor noise, thus makers are steering aways from stupid things just because of some shiny numbers that are actually not needed, currently you can shoot on existing storages unlimited as the sensor read out speed does not require more. Faster drives simply overheat without active cooling, and you cannot do real active cooling while doing video. You have to put the storage further away and with larger surface area devices. You cannot mitigate leaks at higher operating frequency currently with materials we currently use for mass production.

Mobiles, same reason, it is too bloody hot and takes way too much space, it is not needed, instead put a larger battery there that matters more.

Drones? Even why?

Next thing ARM devices with pcie4 interfaces are a rarity, thus no SDexpress as such for 5-10 years imho, as they are just unreasonable. Nobody is slowing. Because it is no progress, implementing this tech for mobile and content creation devices is unreasonable. Where power does not matter ie industrial and consumer, the tradeoff can be taken. The heck, we do not even have mainstream pcie4 NICs, what SDexpress. Thank you for beta testing folks.

Actually, there are SD7.0 products already on the market. → https://www.adata.com/us/consumer/memory-cards-Premier-Extreme-SDXC-SD7-Express

Moreover, SD Assoication has been trying their best to establish SD Express' eco-system. The latest SD Express Card/Reader solutions passed SVP(SDA verification platform) can be checked here. → https://penang.graniteriverlabs.com/svplist

The thing is, most HOSTs that support SD Express are PC instead of video recorders, still a long way to go.
