 SanDisk Extreme memory cards
In 2004 SanDisk also won the award for the SanDisk Ultra 2 line of memory cards. In a statement issued today, EISA said, "SanDisk Extreme 3 memory cards are fast, reliable and sturdy enough to meet the high demands of professional photography. For example, Enhanced Super Parallel Processing Technology (ESP) lets SD and CompactFlash variants sustain a write speed of 20 megabytes per second (MB/Sec) (Based on SanDisk internal testing). And all models are proofed against shock, vibration and extreme temperatures (operating range is -25 to 85 Celsius). Professional digital photographers must be able to rely on their memory cards - the SanDisk Extreme 3 range has proved itself more than equal to the task."
