 "SanDisk Introduces 4 GB Ultra II SDHC")
SanDisk Corporation has introduced a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II SD High Capacity card to meet the growing demand for higher capacity storage. The new cards can store more than 2,000 high-resolution pictures or up to 8 hours of MPEG 4 video. The announcement was made at the Photokina trade show where SanDisk is demonstrating products in Hall 6, Stand D78/E79.
The SanDisk Ultra II SDHC card features write speeds of 9 megabytes (MB) per second and read speeds of 10MB/sec. The cards are targeted at digital photography enthusiasts with 5 megapixel or higher resolution digital cameras or videographers with camcorders that require significantly faster flash storage cards.
The SanDisk MicroMate USB 2.0 reader, which normally retails for $19.99, will be bundled with the 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II SDHC card at no extra charge. SDHC cards require an SDHC-compatible reader to transfer images from card to computer, and the MicroMate readers work with both SDHC and SD cards.
Anna Enerio, retail product marketing manager at SanDisk said, “The 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II SD card and MicroMate reader bundle offers high capacity, proven performance and versatility at an exceptional value. We are confident that consumers will find this to be an ideal combination for storage-intensive applications such as digital cameras and video recording.”
The SanDisk 4GB Ultra II SDHC with MicroMate will be available in October at an MSRP of $219.99.
