September 15, 2009: SanDisk has introduced a new line of Extreme Pro CompactFlash memory cards with significantly faster read/write speeds and capacities up to 64GB.
Developed to meet the needs of professional photographers, the new Extreme Pro CF cards feature a new SanDisk Power Core Controller, an advanced memory controller that improves data transfer efficiency. Dual-lane architecture and software algorithms double card performance, enabling the new Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards to offer read/write speeds of up to 90MB/s over a UDMA-6 bus. Improved firmware algorithms and 42-bit ECC engine maintain data integrity and extended card endurance through optimised wear levelling. In addition, an integrated design requires fewer individual components on the card’s printed circuit board.
