SanDisk speeds up CF cardsBy Jørgen Sundgot, Wednesday 17 October 2001
Fast storage of large files needed? SanDisk's new Ultra CompactFlash cards are capable of write speeds of up to 2.8 megabytes per second - two times faster than most CF cards.

Even though you most likely don't work with files as large as 10 MB and upwards on your PDA, storing and retreiving data as fast as possible could be an advantage - and if you're using a PDA combined with a high-performance digital camera, SanDisk's new line of Ultra CompactFlash cards might be just the thing for you.

The size is the same as it has always been, but the speed is twice as fast
Introduced recently, the new line of storage cards are specifically designed for use in the rapidly growing market segment of high-performance digital cameras. The new Ultra CompactFlash cards are targeted at advanced photographers who require high-performance cards to quickly shoot many high-resolution images, where large files, some of which approach 17 MB in size, can increase the time required for the camera to capture the image and transfer it to the CF card, forcing the photographer to wait until the camera is ready to take the next shot.

To avoid such problems, the new cards have a sustained write speed of up to 2.8 megabytes (MB) per second or more than twice the sustained write speed of SanDisk's standard CF products, and will be sold in the popular Type I CompactFlash form factor, rendering it compatible with all digital cameras and PDAs featuring a CompactFlash slot.

The new cards will be available in sizes of 128, 192, 256, 384 and 512 megabytes, and approximate street prices cards in that capacity range are $100 USD to $500 USD. SanDisk expects to commence shipments of SanDisk Ultra CF cards immediately in the U.S and world wide, with the exception of Japan, which will start shipping next month.
