ProGrade Digital Has a Brand New Lineup of Memory Cards for Photographers
ProGrade Digital is looking to create memory cards for professional photographers.
Yes, they’re indeed a brand new company. ProGrade Digital was founded by executives from Lexar and SanDisk and now they’ve got a set of new products on the market. ProGrade Digital is announcing a new lineup of memory cards for photographers. These include both CFast 2.0 and SDXC UHS II memory cards that are on the market. The cards include a three year warranty and there is also a card reader, which has a two year warranty. In fact, the card reader is claiming speeds of 10GB/second. Crazy, right?
The cards do indeed seem a tad pricey, especially for a new company. But at the same time, I have to appreciate the fact that another player is trying to come into the market to create more competition. This will mean that when deals go live at retailers, we’re all going to benefit in some way or another.
