SanDisk Breaks Out The Speed With New 90/MBps Extreme Pro CompactFlash Cards

Are you a professional-level photographer in need of a swift and highly durable memory card? This morning’s SanDisk announcement may be just the item for you. The storage giant has released a new line of SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards designed to deliver breakthrough performance and worry-free reliability.

Featuring a new SanDisk Power Core Controller, the new Extreme Pro cards (in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities) are rated to deliver killer read and write speeds of up to 90 MBps, doubling the performance of previous SanDisk CompactFlash cards.  Although the cards are designed to work with any camera or reader that supports CompactFlash, SanDisk has launched the $49.99 Extreme Pro Expresscard Adapter to take advantage of the new speed.
