Kingston introduces two, four Gigabyte CompactFlash cards

CompactFlash product line expands to provide faster, higher capacity media storage for advanced amateur and professional photographers
Johannesburg, 28 Sep 2004

Local IT infrastructure distributor Axiz today announced the immediate availability of 2GB and 4GB Compact Flash Elite Pro cards featuring the latest in high density Flash components to optimise performance and storage capabilities from Kingston Technology.

As technological advancements produce more sophisticated digital devices, demand for higher-performing CompactFlash is continuing to grow. "Expanding the Elite Pro line to include the 2GB and 4GB CompactFlash Elite Pro cards is essential to support imaging professionals with the best digital storage for their high-end cameras and devices," said Craig Brunsden, marketing director, Axiz.

The new 2GB and 4GB CompactFlash Elite Pro cards provide a low price per megabyte solution of reliable, high-speed media. With ultra-fast transfer rates, users will enjoy more efficient workflow than ever before. The 2GB cards work in virtually any digital device. However, the new 2GB CF cards work in most digital device but advancements in technology may prevent some cameras, MP3 players, PDAs or other digital devices from fully utilising the 4GB cards.

When used in conjunction with matching high-performance digital devices, Kingston`s CF Elite Pro cards provide ultra-fast transfer times with read speeds up to 10MBps and write speeds up to 8MBps.
