By Lisa Johnston -- TWICE, 6/24/2009

Sydney, Australia — SanDisk announced what it’s calling the “world’s fastest” 32GB SDHC card, with read and write speeds said to be 30MBps.

The company said the 32GB Extreme SDHC card adheres to the SD Association’s new Class 10 specification, which reportedly exceeds requirement for today’s high-definition (AVCHD) video recording. The card offers a sustained write speed fast enough to ensure high-definition video recording and capacity capable of storing 160 minutes of full HD 1,920 by 1,080 pixels at 24Mbps data transfer rate.

The card can store up to 2,500 RAW3 images. It will ship in August; pricing could not be confirmed at press time.
