Adata has made history by launching the world’s first SD 8.0 Express memory card, aimed at mobile professionals and content creators who demand unmatched portable performance.

The Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express card was introduced alongside a high-speed USB flash drive and a tool-free M.2 SSD enclosure, further broadening Adata’s high-performance product range.

Unparalleled Speed and Cutting-Edge Technology

The Adata Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card boasts a PCIe Gen3 x2 interface and leverages the NVMe protocol.

It offers a massive 512GB storage capacity, ensuring enough space for large media files.

Performance-wise, it delivers read speeds of up to 1,600MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,200MB/s.

These figures are not just impressive for an SD card — they rival many of the best portable SSDs available today.

In fact, it outpaces even the highest-performing microSD cards, positioning itself as a leader in portable storage technology.

Built for 4K Video, RAW Photography, and Heavy Multitasking

Adata designed the Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express card specifically for demanding creative workflows.

The card doubles the speed compared to the earlier SD Express 7.0 standard and leaves traditional UHS-I and UHS-II cards far behind.

Thanks to its U3 and V30 video speed class support, it is ideal for 4K video recording, RAW photography, and multitasking without performance hiccups.

This makes it a perfect companion for creators who need speed, capacity, and reliability in a small form factor.

Superior Durability and Data Protection

Durability is a key feature of the Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card.

It offers resistance against shocks, water, static electricity, and extreme temperature conditions.

Additionally, the card incorporates LDPC ECC (Low-Density Parity-Check Error Correction Code) technology to maintain data integrity even under harsh usage.

These features ensure that users can depend on the card in unpredictable environments.

Requires Special Reader for Full Performance

One important detail users must be aware of is that the SD 8.0 Express format needs a compatible reader to reach its maximum performance.

Standard SD card readers cannot handle the card’s 1,600MB/s speed.

Therefore, investing in an SD 8.0 Express-compliant reader is necessary to fully benefit from this groundbreaking technology.

Additional High-Performance Devices from Adata

Alongside the Premier Extreme SD card, Adata also introduced two other innovative products.

The first is the UE720, a USB 3.2 Gen2 flash drive that offers read and write speeds of 550MB/s and 450MB/s, respectively.

It is available in capacities up to 256GB and features a compact design suitable for mobile use.

The second is the EC680 M.2 SSD enclosure, which supports tool-free installation and transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s via a USB Type-C interface.

It is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android devices, and modern gaming consoles, making it a versatile storage solution for a wide range of users.

Conclusion

Adata’s Premier Extreme SD 8.0 Express memory card redefines what users can expect from an SD card.

With unmatched speed, outstanding durability, and cutting-edge technology, it is an essential tool for professionals who need fast and reliable portable storage.

However, to unlock its full capabilities, users must ensure they have an SD 8.0 Express-compatible reader.

Along with its new USB flash drive and SSD enclosure, Adata continues to push the boundaries of portable storage innovation.
