SanDisk has launched a new line of Extreme Pro CompactFlash memory cards, that features a new Power Core Controller, a memory controller that enables read and write speeds of up to 90MB/s.
According to SanDisk, the new Power Core Controller’s dual-lane architecture and software algorithms double card performance, enabling the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards’ read/write speeds of up to 90MB/s over a UDMA-6 bus. The firmware algorithms and 42-bit ECC engine maintain data integrity and extended card endurance through optimised wear leveling.
In addition, the new controller features an integrated design that requires individual components on the card’s printed cirtuit board. The speed and capacity makes the new line of cards suitable for professional usage models involving large amounts of data, the company claims.
Eric Bone, vice president of retail product marketing at SanDisk, said: The new SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash line is the direct result of SanDisk’s passion, commitment, and break-through engineering innovation to provide best-in-class flash memory cards for professional photography.
The SanDisk Power Core Controller delivers unmatched write speed and reliability, providing photographers with a spectacular combination of performance, capacity and peace of mind that images are safely stored.
