Lexar 512mb, 80x PLatinum II High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card

• Lexar's Platinum II memory cards provide photographers with performance levels capable of sustained rapid-fire shooting and full motion video, two of the most popular and sought after features in digital cameras. The Platinum II CompactFlash memory card is speed-rated at 80X, capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 12mb per second. • With Platinum II, consumers can confidently choose from a practical line of memory cards that will allow them to take advantage of the advanced features in their digital camera. • A minimum sustained speed-rating is a measurement of how quickly content can be written to the card. By speed-rating Lexars Platinum II line of cards - and performance testing each before they ship - Lexar is providing a higher level of confidence to the consumer during the flash memory buying process. • Rapid-fire shooting and video capture are two features that continue to move up the consumer photography priority list. High-speed cards, including those within Lexar's Platinum II line, are ideal for in-camera applications that require the user to write captured information to his or her card without interruption. • Lexar CompactFlash cards are individually speed-rated so you know the minimum sustained write speed capability of the card. We use the same rating system used by the CD-Rom industry, where data transfers at a rate of 1X equals 150 kilobytes (KB) per second. And the higher the speed rating, the faster your camera can write images to the memory card.
