TEAMGROUP, the world’s leading brand in memory technology, launches two memory cards T-CREATE EXPERT S.M.A.R.T. MicroSDXC and TEAMGROUP PRO+ SDXC today. The two products offer consumers smooth read and write speed and diverse memory storage options, covering both storage needs for daily and professional use. A solution to satisfy all the different storage needs, the two memory cards are the perfect choice for adding more storage on mobile devices, taking high-quality photos on an action camera and a drone in extreme environments, or shooting 4K videos on a camera.

Designed especially for creative users, T-CREATE EXPERT S.M.A.R.T. MicroSDXC uses the S.M.A.R.T. software, which can be downloaded on TEAMGROUP’s official website. TEAMGROUP’s extensive research and understanding of creative users’ usage scenarios tell us that such users tend to edit and produce photos and videos on their computers only when the memory card storage on their device has been ultimately used up. Based on this finding, TEAMGROUP particularly designed the S.M.A.R.T software to begin instant memory card condition monitoring with just one click. Through NAND Flash wear-out detection technology, the condition of the memory is monitored to secure videos filmed and avoid the need to conduct data recovery. T-CREATE EXPERT S.M.A.R.T. MicroSDXC is a U3 and V30 memory card that also fulfills requirements of the Application Performance Class 2 (A2), capable of reaching a read and write speed of 160MB/s and 150MB/s with storage space up to 1TB when used with professional card readers, and supports 4K Ultra HD and 1080p Full HD video shooting and bursts photo on action camera and drones. Its superb performance, capturing people, inanimate objects, or scenic details, allows creative users to create in all sorts of outdoor environments.

Waterproof, dustproof, shock and vibration resistant to Military Standards, crush-resistant and epoxy-filled, D500S’ rugged zinc casing protects internal components from penetration attacks.

Following the success of the UD90 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, Silicon Power is excited to introduce the first M.2 2230 form factor to its lineup of high-performance NVMe SSDs. The UD90 in this new and compact size, which is 62.5% smaller than the M.2 2280, has been specifically designed for the increasing popularity of portable game consoles, such as Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Its smaller dimensions enable seamless integration into these space-constrained consoles for lightning-fast speeds and ultra-high capacities without compromise. This move underscores Silicon Power’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and providing solutions that empower gamers to make the most of their experiences, no matter how they choose to play games.

Performance That Defies Its Size
The UD90 redefines speed and performance for on-the-go gamers. With blazing read and write speeds up to 5,000MB/s and 3,200MB/s, respectively, this SSD harnesses the power of its PCIe Gen4x4 interface and NVMe technology to deliver unparalleled performance in a tiny form factor. Gamers can now experience quicker load times, seamless world rendering, and smoother gameplay transitions on portable game consoles that rival the performance of traditional gaming setups. In fact, the M.2 2230 delivers better power density performance, which is approximately 12% higher than the M.2 2280.
