Toshiba microSD cards The SDHC cards correspond to the new SD Memory Card version 2 specification, which allows a faster data transfer rate, and extends the maximum possible capacity of a card from 2GB to 32GB. Toshiba’s first SDHC card will be available in September at a 4GB capacity. It can be used only with devices that support the version 2 format, so users should confirm the compatibility of their products before purchasing.Pricing for the new cards was not announced. -Martyn Williams, IDG News Service (Tokyo Bureau)Related Links: Toshiba to Build Chip Plant in Thailand Toshiba’s HD DVD Recorder to Launch in JulyCheck out our CIO News Alerts and Tech Informer pages for more updated news coverage.
