Sandisk has announced it is to expand its Ultra II range of memory cards, with the release of two new products.

The SDHC line gets a new member in the form of a 4GB Plus card, while an 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card is also to be introduced. Both cards offer read and write speeds of 10MB per second.

The 4GB SDHC Plus card utilises Sandisk?s patented Hinge Lock Technology, plugging directly into a USB port without the need of a separate card reader. Up until now, the maximum capacity of the card has been 2GB.

Both cards have been designed to meet the needs of today?s consumer, as high-quality video and photo capture demand greater-capacity cards on which they can be stored.

Both cards are set for worldwide release in October. For more information visit www.sandisk.com.
