Toshiba has recently announced new UHS-II SD cards in the form of the Exceria and Exceria Pro product line-ups. They follow the new UHS-II standard for currently the world's fastest write speed of 240MB per second for the Exceria Pro and 120MB per second for the Exceria. Both Exceria Pro and Exceria cards have a maximum read speed of 260MB per second. Faster read and write speeds are important for photographers who need a nearly instantaneous response from their digital camera and don't want to be slowed down by a memory card.

As a point of perspective the UHS-II standard can go up to 312MB per second when used with compatible devices, while UHS-I cards have a maximum of 104MB per second. The Exceria Pro cards will be available in October 2013 for 16GB and 32GB storage capacities. If you can wait a little while longer, the Exceria cards will be available in November 2013 for 32GB and 64GB storage capacities. No definite news when it would be available in Malaysia or for what price, but stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.
