Lexar plans will release faster, higher-capacity CompactFlash
cards using what it calls a new generation of the flash memory technology.
The
outfit said that its top-end 300X cards will be outpaced by new models shipping
later this year. The current range uses a standard called Ultra Direct Memory
Access to transfer data at 45MB/second. They start to get a bit breathless at
around 16GB. But using a new generation of the standard, UDMA 6, Lexar will
release cards that have significantly faster transfer speeds and larger
capacity.
It is fairly likely that the new cards will be 32GB, and their
transfer speeds likely be 100MB/sec.
