Sandisk Announces 8 GB CF Card
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"SanDisk® Corporation announced today that is has quadrupled the capacity of its high-speed SanDisk Ultra® II line of flash memory cards that includes the development of a new 8GB CompactFlash® Type I card. The top end SanDisk Ultra II Memory Stick PRO and SD cards now boast 4GB and 2GB of capacity respectively....Each SanDisk Ultra II card features a minimum write speed of 9 megabytes per second (MB/sec.) and a minimum read speed of 10MB/sec."
Gee, already the 4 GB card I tested looks small. :roll: The price of the 8 GB card ($959 USD) puts it in the stratosphere for most people, but this will cause a trickle-down effect whereby smaller capacity cards drop in price. Who would have guessed that a 2 GB high-speed Ultra II CF card could be had for only $199 USD? [Affiliate]
