Latest SD Card Spec Targets App Performance
Nov 23, 2016, 8:17 AM by Eric M. Zeman
The SD Association this week unveiled the SD Specification 5.1, which will allow memory cards to better run applications. SD Specification 5.1 creates the new Application Performance Class so cards can store and run apps, as well as manage large stores of media, such as music, movies, and photos, quicker. Along with the new spec, the SD Association is debuting a new symbol for Application Performance Class cards so consumers can easily identify them. The SD Association plans to introduce App Performance Class 1, or A1, cards first. These will cover the most basic performance needs with sustained sequential read/write speeds of 10Mbps. Higher performance cards will be made available over time to meet demand. The SD Association did not say when SD Specification 5.1 and App Performance Class 1 cards will reach the market.
