The cards will offer double the data transfer speed of its current fastest cards, the company says. The cards, which have capacities of 512MB and 1GB, are the first two members of its new Pro High Speed Series and are able to transfer data at a maximum rate of 20 MB per second. The previous-fastest SD memory cards made by Panasonic, the Super High Speed Series, transfer data at speeds up to 10 MBps, according to Karl Takahashi, a Panasonic spokesperson."</i><br /><br />More speed? Delicious - especially as the card capacities increase and it takes longer and longer to fill them up with content.
