SanDisk Rapid GX 1 GBSanDiskintroduced RapidGX, a high-performance Memory Stick PRO Duo Game card intended for the PSP. The company was no longer content sitting around waiting for Sony to bump-up their transfer, read, and write speeds nor force people to convert their files before popping in the memory card. The SanDisk RapidGX card comes with software that allows PSP owners to convert and transfer a host of multimedia files from a personal computer to a PSP, through a drag-and-drop interface. It also comes with SanDisk’s new MicroMate high-speed Memory Stick PRO Duo card reader.

MicroMate SanDisk Memory Stick DuoWith the reader, a PSP user can transfer data at read/write speeds of up to 15 megabytes per second, about twice the read/write speeds of the PSP when the device is hooked up directly to a computer. The reader contains a slot for the card and a USB connector that allows it to be plugged into a PC’s USB port.

The RapidGX card will initially be sold in 1 gigabyte for $84.99 this summer and then larger cards to follow.
