Pretec, the leader of the highest capacity (128GB) CF card, fastest CF card (667X), and first SDXC card in the world, announces P240 USB 3.0 High-Speed Multi-Card Reader, the 1st USB 3.0 card reader in the world supporting high-performance SDXC, CF and other major memory cards. A provider of “Cool Memories, the Ultimate in Style & Speed,” Pretec offers a full series of high-performance card readers in the world to be shown at Pretec booth at Computex Taipei 2010.
With interface speed of 5Gb/s (or 625MB/s, 10X faster than USB 2.0), USB 3.0 has solved the speed bottleneck for high speed memory card data transfer. Today’s high speed memory card can reach to >50MB/s for SDXC (Pretec SDXC card, also introduced today), >100MB/s for CF card (Pretec 567X/667X 128GB CF card, announced last week), >300MB/s for SSD (Pretec P4000 SATA II SSD, announced last week), all above have far exceeded the transfer speed of USB 2.0 (theoretical data is 60MB/s, and practical maximum is around 40MB/s) and hence much need the 10X speed enhancement of USB 3.0.
