Apacer and SST Jointly Announcing the World’s Fastest CF Card
Introducing the Apacer Photo Steno Pro II up to 15MB/Sec Access Rate
Apacer today announces the world’s fastest Photo Steno PRO II CompactFlash Card. In compliance with the high-resolution photo requirements, the Apacer Photo Steno Pro II CompactFlash Card offers an outstanding access rate up to 15MB/Sec, which is ranked No. 1 in the world. The Apacer Photo Steno PRO II Memory Card will launch the market worldwide by June this year.

Apacer and SST jointly developed CompactFlash cards and provide the best storage solution for professional photography and industrial applications. The President of SST, Mr. Bing Yeh indicated, “In the present joint development with Apacer, we broke through the existing CF memory card technologies by applying the Multi-Word Transmission technology to improve data access performance to 15MB/sec, which definitely will become a focus in the high-end digital photography market.”

The Vice President of Apacer, Mr. Lawrence Lo indicated, “The strategic cooperation between Apacer and SST empowers our CompactFlash product lines to be recognized by customers and users in the world over a long period of time. The Apacer Photo Steno PRO II CompactFlash card primarily aims at professional photographers and professional image workers to work with high-pixel photographic equipments and demonstrates high-end performance and quality.”

The Apacer Photo Steno Pro II CompactFlash Card has an access rate up to 15MB/Sec. For instance, it only takes 1 second to press the shutter to take a photo for a high-level 3264*2448 pixel 10MB file, and the digital photo is saved into the memory immediately, and it takes just another second to read the same file from the Photo Steno Pro II CompactFlash card. The Apacer Photo Steno Pro II supports rapid fire shooting; it will not miss any spectacular scene when taking a shot at the cars in a car race. Further, the Apacer Photo Steno Pro II has a capacity of up to 4GB to satisfy the high-capacity storage requirement for professional photography.
 The survey conducted by the PC2000 magazine in January of 2003 shows that Apacer is the most influential digital storage brand among consumers. Setting out with the concept of “Digital Storage & Connected Lifestyle” and continuing to integrate the software and hardware core technologies and design engineering, Apacer has developed a full series of products including the IT and IA digital storage related products, such as digital photo burner, USB memory stick, and memory card. Everything needed is there for you.
