Recently released in Taiwan, the first memory cards self-branded by Samsung are meant to be used in electronic devices such as smartphones, digital cameras and other portable devices. The reason for doing this is, according to the Korean company, the exponential growth of the mobile storage market in the next future, as revealed by recent researches. Samsung has been selling memory cards to third parties by now but now wants to brand its own products.

The new cards branded by Samsung comply with the Secure Digital class 6 ratings for performance and will appear in SD, microSD and CF (Compact Flash) formats. The SD card will be available in 4GB and 8GB versions, running at 6MBps speed. A 16GB SD plus card will have a read access speed of 17MBps. The Compact Flash cards have speeds of 45MBps.

Designed to prevent valuable data to be lost, Samsung memory cards are resistant to shocks and water and protected from damages caused by magnetic interference.

The cards will be available in Taiwan in October and will follow soon in other markets but prices were not announced yet.
