SanDisk UltraII Line Picks Up Speed and Boosts Capacity with New 32- AND 16-Gigabyte SDHC and 8GB SDHC Plus Cards

Designed for Camcorders and Digital Cameras That Capture Still Images and Video, New SanDisk Cards Offer 50 Percent Faster Read and Write Speeds; 32GB Is Industry-Leading Capacity

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, January 31, 2008 � Giving photo enthusiasts the freedom to take more pictures and shoot more video, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today increased both capacities and speeds in its SanDisk Ultra� II line with the introduction of 32- and 16-gigabyte (GB)1 SDHC� cards and an 8GB SDHC Plus card. The announcement was made at the photo industry�s PMA 08 International Convention here.

Ideal for today�s camcorders and point-and-shoot digital cameras that can record both video and still images, the cards offer faster read and write speeds of 15 megabytes per second2 (15MB/sec), up from previous speeds of 10MB/sec read and 9MB/sec write in the SanDisk Ultra II line.

�As cameras offer more megapixels and as new high-definition �record-to-memory-card� camcorders are being introduced, the image sizes and files get bigger, requiring higher card capacity,� said Susan Park, senior product marketing manager for SanDisk Ultra II cards. �Cameras also are increasingly used for recording video clips, which demand even more memory and capacity. These mega-capacities in our SanDisk Ultra II line give users the worry-free ability to capture thousands of their memories and hours of HiDef video on a single card, while the faster write speed can reduce the time between shots and the faster read speed reduces time spent waiting to copy those images to a computer,� she added.

The 32GB Ultra II SDHC card, which is the industry-leading capacity and will be the highest capacity consumer flash memory card that SanDisk produces, will be able to store more than 8,000 high-resolution pictures or up to 40 hours of video3. A SanDisk MicroMate� USB 2.0 Reader � a $20 value � is packaged with the 32GB and 16GB cards, giving users a one-stop solution for capturing, storing and transferring their images.

Beyond speed and capacity, the 8GB SanDisk Ultra II SDHC Plus offers both SD� and USB functionality in one card. Designed with SanDisk�s unique, patented Hinge Lock technology, the card may be inserted into a USB port on any computer. This two-in-one SD-plus-USB feature eliminates the need to carry cables or card readers to transfer photos and videos from cameras. Despite its small size, the hinge is sturdy � having survived more than 10,000 open-close cycles in SanDisk�s durability testing.
