Samsung today announced a range of new SD and microSD cards that are waterproof, shockproof, and magnet proof. All the cards in the range can withstand up to 24 hours in water, the pressure of 1.6 tons, and the powerful magnets used in medical equipment. There are two sets of cards available, the High Speed Series and the Plus Extreme Speed Series. They range in capacity from 2GB to 32GB and from Class 4 to Class 10 with respect to read/write speeds. Prices vary from $9.99 to $89.99. Samsung designed the cards for today's mobile devices and they will be able to protect user data in the event of harsh treatment of the host device.
