SanDisk Corp. has launched yet another line of high performance CompactFlash memory cards.

The SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash memory cards are designed with several things in mind; high-performance, reliability and a simplified designed.

This enables both amateur and professional photographers to capture enormous volumes of JPG and Raw images or high-definition video without worrying about running out of card space.

The card performed well with the first use. While using a Canon 1D Mark III, the card kept up with me on every burst of photos.

For downloading, SanDisk rates the new memory at read and write speeds up to 90MB per second. I used a Firewire 800 reader that showed me those speeds, which are rated at double the previous cards from the company.

Users can get the new memory in sizes ranging from 16 up to 64GB. SanDisk cards are known for durability and the new ones carry on the tradition of working in temperatures ranging from minus 13 F up to 185 F. They also have a lifetime limited warranty and can withstand accidental drops of up to nine feet.

Since the new cards have the faster download speeds, in order to achieve those speeds users much uses a reader, which supports UDMA Mode 6. This is the fastest available in the CompactFlash current specifications.

Included with the card is a coupon for a free download of SanDisk Extreme RescuePRO recovery software. This is a must have for anyone since it can recover images, video or just about any file on the card, which might have been deleted by accident.

Prices range from $300 to $800 for the cards, depending on the capacity.
