Simply put, it means you are getting the fastest read/write speeds available - an amazing minimum 20 MB per second** sequential read and write speed ? speed you'll definitely appreciate whenever you find yourself shooting and storing pictures in harsh environments, extreme temperatures or at high altitudes.

Every SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card comes with RescuePRO so you can recover images, documents, mail, video, music - just about any digital file, with ease. Built with leading-edge media recovery algorithms, RescuePro lets you preview recoverable data before you try to retrieve it.

Fits criteria of counterfeit.

"I noticed that as soon as the card was shipped and opened, it looked real and I had not heard or read of any issues with counterfeits.

"I picked up several of these cards for use in my Canon EOS 5d. They are a big performance increase from the Sandisc Ultra II's I had been using. And with clearance prices, you can't loose. I prefer the 4 gig size as this meshes nicely for back-up to DVD-ROM. "
