SUNNYVALE, CA, January 27, 2004 –
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) this week is shipping the world’s first production one-gigabyte (GB) Secure Digital (SD) flash card, which contains a unique “stackable” packaging technology jointly implemented with Sharp Corporation of Japan. This new package employs a low-cost, high-yielding die-stacking process that is designed to enable SanDisk to double the memory capacity without increasing the size of the card, thus launching a new generation of competitively-priced, higher-density flash devices that can store unprecedented amounts of pictures, music and video.
