Ducati SanDisk

What do a Ducati MotoGP bike and a flash memory card have in common? - They’re both red, they’re both the fastest in their class and they both say Sandisk on the side.

Press release: “SanDisk teamed with world-renowned motorcycle designer, Ducati, to launch their most ambitious set of digital flash memory products to date. Echoing the speed, performance, and styling of Ducati’s legendary, racing-inspired motorcycles, SanDisk proudly presents the Extreme® Ducati Edition. This label is reserved for some of the fastest memory products SanDisk, or the industry, has ever produced. This exclusive, collectible product line will only be available for a limited time, and only from specialized retail establishments.”

Ducati’s MotoGP stars Casey Stoner and Loris Capirossi looked on while Sandisk also released their fastest ever SD and CompactFlash cards on the eve of the MotoGP championship round at Laguna Seca, California.

The grid consists of 4- and 8-gigabyte capacities for the SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition CompactFlash card and 4GB for the SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition SD Plus card. The latter features a snap-open connector that enables the card to be plugged in directly to the USB port of a personal computer without requiring a cable or reader.

Maybe not quite 200 mph, but these things are pretty quick. I wonder if the girls’ tattoos are permanent? Looks like the perfect Christmas gift for the computer buff in your life. My Christmas list gets bigger. I would even like one of the cards.
