Lexar announced their new “gaming” memory cards today. I”m curious what exactly makes these cards specifically for gamers? Do they drink Mountain Dew? Do they call other memory cards ‘Bro’ while giving them dead leg?
Okay… Other then labeling, I’m not sure what else makes these gamer level memory cards special. They come in 4GB and 8GB capacities, but don’t have special transfer rates or anything else that stands out.
Available as an M2 or SDHC format, the cards start at $25 and go up from there, depending on the size and format. (more…)
