Sony Electronics has unveiled that features on the new PRO-HG Duo HX Line-up memory cards are to be enhanced primarily for greater transfer speeds. These memory cards have a transfer speed rate of a staggering 30 Megabytes per second making it the fastest memory cards from this technology leader.

These memory sticks will be available commercially this summer, capacities ranging from 8 to 32 GB. The difference in performance it has to offer for an Alpha DSLR Camera user with the HX series memory is, it can now take about 260 images in 1 minute about 160% more when compared to PRO Duo Memory Stick. Likewise, a 30 GB HD camcorder file can be transferred surprisingly just in about 17 minutes.

Prices start at $59.99 for the 8 GB PRO-HG Duo HX.
