CES 2009: Kingston SSDs, HyperX Memory and Video SDHC Cards

SDHC Video Cards

Next up are Kingston’s new SDHC Video cards being marketed for use in recording HD video on digital camcorders. They are available in 60 minute (4GB), 120 minute (8GB) and 240 minute (16GB) capacities. Now these new cards can still be used in any device that supports SDHC memory cards, but with a Class 4 speed rating, the new Video SDHC cards will guarantee a minimum data transfer rate of 4MB/second! — Perfect for recording your home videos.

Kingston’s internal testing shows their marketed capacity times are based on video recorded at 9Mbps, but below you can see the estimated time capacities for video recorded at 6Mbps and 13Mbps.

Kingston has made these cards available through various online e-tailors including Adorama, Amazon.com, Buy.com and Newegg.com. The SDHC cards come with Kingstons lifetime warranty and are competatively priced with an MSRP ranging from $20 to $76.
