Apps work with ease – Conforms to the new A1 standard

Application Performance Class 1 (A1)

Application Performance Class 1 (A1)

This product conforms to Application Performance Class 1 (A1), the speed standards for smartphone apps specified in SD Specifications 5.1 by the SD Association, an organization that sets the standards for memory cards, which serve as the industry's guidelines.
The A1 standards state that an SD card must provide a random read speed over 1500 IOPS, a random write speed over 500 IOPS, and a sustained sequential write speed of at least 10 MB/s.
As a result, the speed of starting up smartphone apps and reading data with a photo app is stabilized, making the use of smartphones more comfortable.

Transfer at a speed of up to 104 MB/s! Supports UHS Speed Class

Compatible with UHS-I, an interface that achieves high-speed, stable transfer. It can read and write at a speed of up to 104 MB/s (standard rate) and meet the need for handling large volumes at high speed. It is also UHS Speed Class 1-ready, guaranteeing a transfer speed of 10MB/s for UHS compatible devices.

What’s a UHS-I?

UHS-I

25 MB/s is the maximum transfer speed supported by SD speed classes such as Class 10. Ultra High Speed = UHS-I is a standard that supports transfers at a higher speed. As a standard rate, UHS-I achieves a high-speed transfer of up to 104 MB/s.
Although a UHS-I interface memory card can work with non-compatible devices, it performs best when used with UHS-I interface compatible devices.

Supports UHS Speed Class 1

Among the UHS-I standards, it supports Speed Class 1. It also supports Class 10, with both guaranteeing a transfer speed of 10 MB/s.
