SD Express - Revolutionary Innovation for SD Memory Cards

The SD Association introduces the revolutionary capabilities of SD Express. SD Express adds the popular PCI Express® and NVMe™ interfaces The PCIe interface delivers a 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) maximum data transfer rate and the NVMe upper layer protocol enables advanced memory access mechanism. SD Express memory cards can soon serve as removable Solid State Drives(SSD). SD Express ​maintains the long-standing advantage of SD’s backward compatibility and interoperability. The PCIe interface was added, in addition to the existing SD (UHS-I) interface, allowing a card with SD Express to operate interchangeably in new SD Express capable hosts as well as with billions of existing SD host products in the market today. The speeds delivered by SD Express are essential for high-resolution content applications such as: super-slow motion video, RAW continuous burst mode photography, 8K video capture and playback, 360-degree photo, 360-degree video, virtual reality (VR).
