SanDisk Introduces the SanDisk Ultra II CompactFlash and Ultra II SD Card Line -- The World's Fastest Flash Memory Cards

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2003-- SanDisk Corporation (Nasdaq:SNDK) today introduced the SanDisk Ultra(TM) II line of CompactFlash(R) (CF) and SD flash memory cards. Each card features a minimum write speed of 9 megabytes per second (MB/sec.) and a minimum read speed of 10MB/sec., making them the fastest performing flash memory cards in the world. (Results based on testing with the popular HDBENCH benchmark software. Actual results in digital cameras will vary by camera model.) The new card is targeted primarily at the professional digital camera and prosumer market where 4 megapixel or higher resolution digital cameras require significantly faster digital film cards. The announcement was made at the IFA consumer electronics trade show where SanDisk is demonstrating products in Hall 3.2B, Booth 201.

The new SanDisk Ultra II CF card will initially be available in three capacities -- 256MB, 512MB and 1 gigabyte (GB). The 256 and 512MB SanDisk Ultra II CF cards started shipping this month while the 1GB cards will be sent to retail outlets in the next thirty days. SanDisk Ultra II SD cards will be available in 256MB and 512MB capacities in October and November, respectively.
