SD Memory Cards with Data-Saving SICS Acquire TUV Rheinland Certification

SD Memory Cards handle a wide range of applications, from saving photos and video images to various business uses. Card-based media is easy to handle, but its data can sometimes be lost due to unexpected problems. Panasonic Gold Cards are certified by TüV Rheinland, an international third-party institution, to ensure that they offer proper power failure protection. The TüV Rheinland Group is an international third-party institution that provides product safety tests and certification, as well as management system certification services.

The number of errors occurring with flash memory increases for reasons such as repeated reading and writing, and if the number of errors passes a certain level, the errors cannot be corrected and data becomes corrupted. Panasonic Gold cards have an automatic refresh function, which extends card life by using the Super Intelligent Controller to automatically refresh data before the errors increase too much to be corrected.

Even if you mistakenly remove the SD card or turn off the power while data is being written to it, all of the saved data will be retrieved to ensure that you don't lose it.

When power is interrupted, the Super Intelligent Controller automatically retrieves data that was damaged. Besides data that is currently being saved, other data may be damaged when power is interrupted. Panasonic SD cards are equipped with an automatic data retrieve function to preserve your important data.

Panasonic SD cards are extremely reliable even under severe temperature conditions. Because they incorporate an industrial-grade flash memory, they work in temperatures ranging from -13°F to +185°F (-25°C to +85°C), thus assuring consistent performance while skiing or snowboarding or if the SD card is left in a car on a hot day.

*Panasonic recommends that you never leave any electronic product sitting in direct sunlight or under other severe heat conditions.

Panasonic SD and SDHC Memory Cards are designed to be highly resistant to bending and twisting, protecting important data stored on the card.
