Best New Products from SANDISK

 

Carry More Pictures, Music, Data, and Voice Recordings with SanDisk Flash Memory Cards!

 

4 Gigabyte Highest Capacity compactflash card Used In Any CompactFlash Digital Camera

The new card can store more than 2,000 high-resolution pictures, or more than 1,000 digital songs or 8 hours of MPEG 4 video.

The 4GB SanDisk CompactFlash card features an advanced design from SanDisk that allows it to operate in cameras that use either the FAT16 or FAT32 file formats. It is the only CompactFlash card of its capacity and compatibility level that is available in the popular Type I format and fits into any CompactFlash slot.

Technological Breakthrough for the Highest Compatibility
The 4GB SanDisk CompactFlash card highlights a significant technological breakthrough in compatibility. The File allocation table (FAT) is an area on storage media that contains certain information such as the location of data files, their names, sizes and so on. FAT16, the initial file allocation table that is used by a number of current and most older digital cameras, cannot use CompactFlash cards that are greater than 2GB. FAT32 uses a 32-bit number to point to where the pieces of a file are stored and circumvents the 2GB capacity limit to allow access to storage media up to several Terabytes.  Today, only a few manufacturers and camera models utilize the newer FAT32 File format. 

The new 4GB SanDisk CompactFlash card features a three-position switch located in the left-hand area of the card so consumers can switch between either a single 4GB (FAT32) volume or two separate 2GB (FAT16) volumes. The switchable 4GB card ensures that users of cameras with either file format will be able to use the new card.  For maximum customer satisfaction, SanDisk will initially ship the card in a FAT16 configuration - two FAT 16 partitions - eliminating the need for most users to reposition the switch and reformat.

The 4GB CompactFlash card has a suggested retail price of $999.99 and is expected to start shipping in April.

SANDISK SHIPS WORLD'S FIRST PRODUCTION 1GB SD CARD, WITH NEW  SHARP TECHNOLOGY

30 hours of digitally compressed music*, 1,000 high-resolution digital images** and over five hours of MPEG-4 compressed video

World's first production one-gigabyte (GB) Secure Digital (SD) flash card, which contains a unique "stackable" packaging technology jointly implemented with Sharp Corporation of Japan. This new package employs a low-cost, high-yielding die-stacking process that is designed to enable SanDisk to double the memory capacity without increasing the size of the card, thus launching a new generation of competitively-priced, higher-density flash devices that can store unprecedented amounts of pictures, music and video.

Suggested retail price of $499.99 1GB SD CARD

Shoot & Store Product Line

A new line of inexpensive flash memory cards designed to allow users to save their pictures indefinitely without using a computer for downloading, thus giving millions of consumers a major incentive to switch from film to digital photography and providing them with a durable, permanent way to store a lifetime of images.

Shoot & Store cards are expected to allow people to order prints on a “cost-of-use” basis that is equal to or less than that of traditional analog film. And they won’t have to worry about leaving expensive flash memory cards with retail photo finishers.

 Shoot & Store Product Line marketed  in food and drug channels as Kroger supermarkets and Rite Aid drugstores.

Suggested retail price of $14.99
