Lexar today introduced two new professional-grade flash memory card readers designed to deliver increased download speeds from the card to a computer. One reader features a new industrial design and is fully compatible with two new flash card interface standards: Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) CompactFlash, a high-performance flash memory protocol based on the CompactFlash form factor, and Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), a memory standard that supports capacities of 4GB and higher in the Secure Digital (SD) form factor. The second reader is an upgrade to Lexar’s already-existing stackable model that allows for concurrent download of information from multiple flash memory cards. Lexar’s two latest card readers offer superior download speeds when working in conjunction with new Lexar Professional UDMA 300x CompactFlash and 133x SDHC flash memory cards.
