The camera will die - the files will remain. New Kingston Memory Card Gold Series for shooting extreme 4K video

Hi, Giktayms! If you rephrase the famous saying, memory cards today are taken with humor. They lowered the camera shutter - “the memory card is damaged: format?”, Swore at the manufacturer and forgot. But such frills technology is unforgivable in conditions where the opportunity to make a second double simply will not. The Kingston Gold UHS-I (U3) memory card was specially created for shooting high-quality video under “combat” conditions. For the characteristics, volume and guarantees of "survival" of the new drive, welcome to the cat.

Do not think for cynicism, but in the electronics that died due to a shock or moisture ingress, the data on the drive present the greatest value today. Because after a few months, the bright and clear display of the smartphone will look dim against the background of new products, and the processor with a camera of comparable quality will migrate from flagship models to low-end models.

But a couple of years of your life in the photo and video on the camera device will not return, it is worth suspecting this before it turns out that not all microSD are equally reliable.

However, the greatest damage to the memory card is obtained even not in smartphones that fall into the azure seashore of the sea, but in drones and action cameras: YouTube has a whole video genre with funny touchdowns of flying cameras, and action cameras today travel with the owners everywhere where only the foot of the person went.

For a start - general information about the memory card:

Capacity : 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB
Speed : 90 MB / s read and 45 MB / s write, UHS-I Speed ​​Class 3 (U3)
Format : FAT32 (microSDHC 8 GB - 32 GB); exFAT (microSDXC 64 GB)
Voltage : 3.3 V
Warranty : lifetime (10 years in Russia, the maximum possible period according to the legislation)

The speed class of UHS-I U3, by the way, operates at a speed 4.5 times higher than in Class 10 memory cards that we are used to. The speed reserve is enough even for an extremely high bitrate of 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, for example, in action GoPro cameras. Or, what happens more often, for 120 fps in mainstream Full HD.



In terms of the brutality of the memory card for action cameras, of course, they cannot compete with drives for military needs , but all the necessary levels of protection in the new SDCG card are respected. Among them:

1. Water resistance . Certificate IEC / EN 60529 IPX7 - a memory card will transfer half an hour under water to a depth of 1 meter without problems.

2. Shock resistance . Up to 30,000 g with pulses up to 1.0 millisecond according to the military test method MIL-STD-883H, METHOD 2002.5

3. X-ray resistance according to ISO 7816-1 (protection against 0.1 Gy X-ray radiation on both sides of the memory card). The information is not so much for “stalkers” as for certainty that even endless “flashes” of micro impulses at the walk-through will not damage information.

4. Guaranteed operation at temperatures from -25 ° C to 85 ° C. If everything is clear with the upper threshold (you will no longer have action cameras at this temperature outside the suit), then the negative temperature looks moderately extreme. However, for the most radical tasks, Kingston has industrial-grade memory cards - with them everyone is free to conduct a video blog even at -45 ° C.

In general, if you were looking for a trouble-free and truly fast memory card, you found it. And do not forget that the record high speed will soon arrive in tiny microSD cards with new standards designed for 8K video recording .
