SanDisk Touts Speed Record for SD Flash Memory Cards
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
SanDisk Corp. said that it has set a new speed record of 30 megabytes
per second for SD flash memory cards with the introduction of the
SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s Edition line of SDHC Cards.
The new cards, according to the company are expected to be available
worldwide this month in 4-gigabyte (GB), 8GB and 16GB capacities, are
designed to deliver peak performance when used with the new digital
single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, Nikon D90.
The Nikon D90 is the industry's first DSLR camera to support SanDisk
Extreme III 30MB/s Edition SDHC cards at increased performance.
Featuring a 50-percent speed boost from previous 20MB/s cards, the new
SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s Edition SDHC card makes it possible to
record 39 images in continuous shooting mode at 4.5 frames per second
with a file size of 6.0 MB JPEG L Fine per image. The Nikon D90 camera
captures high-resolution, 12.3 megapixel still images, and it is
Nikon's first DSLR to offer movie recording capability, the company
said.
SanDisk said its Extreme III 30MB/s SDHC cards make it easy for
consumers to capture and store more high-resolution images and video
content. When placed in SanDisk's new ImageMate Multi-Card USB 2.0
Reader/Writer, still images and video can be transferred from the new
SDHC card to a computer up to 30MB/s, greatly reducing the waiting time
to offload large files from the card to the computer.
"The high capacities and performance of the SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s
Edition SDHC cards give users the freedom to shoot lots of
high-resolution photos and video clips," said Susan Park, director of
consumer product marketing for SanDisk's performance cards. "The
combination of our new SanDisk Extreme III 30 MB/s Edition SDHC card
technology and the Nikon D90 camera maximizes performance."
