Lexar Introduces Memory History Museum With Longsys 20 Year Celebrations
Without a doubt, one of the best parts of being a part of the flash industry over the past 12 years has to be the opportunities this technology has provided.

A few days back, we did a review on the first 1TB microSD card to make it outside of manufacturers test facilities and the only negative of that review was that we couldn’t tell you when it would be available, or the cost.

I have been a Lexar fan for too many years to remember so one might imagine that I became just a bit concerned when they were sold off to Longsys, a manufacturer having a great reputation abroad, but without a similar following by media professionals here in North America. We met with the new owners shortly after the purchase and …

Perhaps the single thing that really disturbs me is the fact that cameras have not kept up with the advances of storage performance. Where capabilities exist to very easily incorporate hardware into a DSLR that enables the movement of data at speed of over 500MB/s, we are still left with data transfer rates that hamper continuous shooting scenarios significantly.
