SanDisk has increased both capacities and speeds in its SanDisk Ultra II line with the introduction of 32- and 16-gigabyte SDHC cards and an 8GB SDHC Plus card. 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 15MB/sec, up from previous speeds of 10MB/sec read and 9MB/sec write in the SanDisk Ultra II line. 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 video. A SanDisk MicroMate USB 2.0 Reader 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.
