Angelbird has announced that its SDXC UHS-II V60 and V90 rated cards are now available in larger capacities. The AV PRO SD MK2 V60 cards are available in 512GB and 1TB, while the AV PRO SD MK2 V90 is available in 512GB.
Not only do the newly released larger capacity AV PRO SD MK2 cards have a minimum V60 and V90 speed rating, but they also feature Angelbird’s Stable Stream technology that is said to optimize recording performance throughout the entire capacity of the card (and for the duration of the recording session). Angelbird claims that the minimum sustained write speed of the V60 cards is 140 MB/s (V60) and for the V90 cards, it is 260 MB/s.
The AV PRO SD MK2 V60 memory card was built to perform at extreme temperatures ranging from -25° C to 85° C / -13°F to 185°F. The cards are available in the following capacities:
- 64 GB
- 128 GB
- 256 GB
- 512 GB
- 1 TB
The AV PRO SD MK2 V90 also works in temperatures of -25° C to 85° C / -13°F to 185°F and they are available in the following capacities:
- 64 GB
- 128 GB
- 256 GB
- 512 GB
Both cards also feature an integrated write-protect switch that prevents accidental file deletion and card formatting, as well as adaptive power management. Adaptive power management essentially is a way in which low power draw and bus-powered components have been designed to place a minimal drain on battery life. The cards are also protected against moisture, x-ray/magnets, shock, and dust.
Angelbird also offers a 3-year limited warranty and free data recovery service.
