Offering higher capacity and fast data transfer speed, the new 8GB SanDisk Extreme III SDHC card will be packaged with a SanDisk MicroMate USB 2.0 Reader. The card has a read/write speed of 20 megabytes per second, providing rapid downloads to a personal computer. The SDHC format is designed to allow for capacities greater than 2GB, but devices must be SDHC compatible in order to work with SDHC memory cards. For video applications, SanDisk Extreme III SDHC cards have a speed rating of Class 6, the highest available SDA speed class, meaning that they have a minimum continuous data transfer rate of 6MB/second.
All SanDisk Extreme III cards offer ESP Technology to streamline data transfer, RescuePRO ® software to recover accidentally deleted files and images, a dedicated technical support telephone hotline and a limited lifetime warranty. The cards are designed for shooting in extreme temperatures (-25 to 85 degrees Celsius), high altitudes and other demanding situations.
The bundled card and reader will begin shipping in the USA and Europe next month. For details, visit www.sandisk.com.
