Kingston Technology announced it is increasing the write speed of its popular line of CompactFlash Ultimate memory cards to 266X - twice the minimum sustained write speed previously available in the Ultimate line. Kingston CF Ultimate cards will also have an added feature of free MediaRecover data recovery software that serves as a recovery tool to help restore lost, deleted or corrupted image files.

“Photographers using DSLR cameras are looking for faster card write speeds to capture life’s moments as they happen without interruption,” said Mark Akoubian, Flash memory product manager, Kingston. “Kingston CompactFlash Ultimate 266X memory cards maximize a digital camera’s performance”
