SD Express (SD 7.0) PCIe NVMe Memory Card Socket Delivers 985 MB/s Storage for Edge AI and Industrial Imaging
ATTEND, a leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, introduces its SD 7.0 Express Memory Card Socket, designed to support next-generation SD Express cards with high-speed removable storage performance. By integrating PCIe Gen3 x1 and NVMe interfaces within the standard SD form factor, the socket delivers data transfer speeds of up to 985 MB/s while maintaining backward compatibility with SD, SDHC, SDXC, and UHS-I cards.
Designed for high-performance embedded systems, the connector features high-speed differential contacts, controlled impedance structures, and pin detection functionality to ensure reliable card recognition and signal integrity. The solution supports data-intensive applications such as 8K video capture, industrial imaging, edge AI devices, and high-speed data logging.
“Next-generation embedded systems are generating increasing volumes of data that require faster removable storage,” said Leon Hung, Product Manager at ATTEND. “Our SD 7.0 Express socket integrates PCIe and NVMe capabilities within the familiar SD card architecture while maintaining compatibility with existing SD ecosystems.”
