SanDisk's 30MB/s Extreme III line of flash cards keeps growing -- the company just announced the 32GB Extreme III CompactFlash card for $299. Pretty steep, but if you're shooting high-speed RAW images or filming an HD masterpiece, we bet your ears just perked up. Out in October, we're told.
32MB? how about 32GB like the card says...
Nah, 32MB looks cooler.
Awesome Engadget editing strikes yet again...sheesh.
It's engadget retro, 1999 edition.
$300 is a tad steep for 32MB
NASA just ordered 5000 of them thinking they were 32MB for $300.
$300 is the price you pay to put all your eggs in one basket.
Give me 16 2GB cards any day.
32GB not 32MB
they mean 30mb/s as in the speed, although a 32mb flash card is still impressive, for 1998!
haha, lol. 32MB :P
/they mean 30mb/s as in the speed/
30 milli-bits per second? That's rubbish.
This story seems like it is from 2000 or something
haha yeah, 30mB/s for the entire 32mb flash card. Sweet!
That's a whopping 22 floppies you know!
WOOHOO! FINALLY A 32 Meg!!!!
32MB will barely hold one or two raw images. Lucky for us the picture has it right.
32MB?? wow!!!!!
and twice in the text!
Wow!!! The whole content of the card is transferred in a second!! hehehe
32MB?!?!?!??! WTH ENGADGET!!!! GET YOU SH** STRAIGHT! ARHG HGHERHGHRQWEE"EDASDFOODAOSDOASOADAPSDP
FAIL! QJUQWUEDAJSDNHASJDAJSDJASJDA FAIL FAIL FAIL!!! muhahahahahah muahahahha muahahahahha
please stop, you have made your point
Oh COME ON people. 9 comments about a giant typo and not a single one is funny? You suck, people.
Here are some pointers for next time:
- ASCII porn
- Something with time machines, probably referencing Back to the Future 2
- iPhones suck for not having[...]

thank Gecko layout engine for Firefox 3 bring mo' speedy, I managed to vacate the rickroll before the music started, yay!
How come you know so much? Maybe you've done them all in the past? Hmmmm ;)) hahahaha! loser!
The mistake was said twice, one in the email notification, one in the content of the article itself.
If they laughed at it, let them be. I suggest you go get a life. Not just the things you mentioned. ;) Just my two cents though.

32GB SILLY!
LMAO 32MB dont think youve had your coffee (or amphetamines which ever you prefer lol) yet
Nice, my ipod nano just go an 32gb upgrade.
who needs the new nano?!
i mean my ipod mini... damn
Its a 32MB card with transfer rates of 30GB/s!!!
That's awesomely fast!... now work on the capacity
I kid... silly engadget!
It took me a second... you guys almost got me.
Ha! Any advance on 32MB? 32KB perhaps? Nice one guys, you made everyone pay attention!
At least the got the picture right.
...right?
It wouldn't work on the Red, write speed is too slow, and inconsistent
Very true if this card is as pokey as their 16 GB version. Just for kicks we tried to use one as a hard drive running XP (this was before SSD's were readily available). It was painful and pretty much unusable.
Oh how I wish I was.
You fixed the title but not the preceding text or the tags for the article. In the future someone will find this, miss read it and the stock price will drop 80% because of this lack of effort in correcting the MB appendage to GB.
Yo, you forgot to fix the text in the paragraph and the tags......
me = engadget editor = half current salary.
32MB?
Extreme III is not UDMA! So speed is not its forté. The Red camera, the Nikon D3 or Canon 1D Mark III cameras will not benefit from any speed benefits that the Extreme IV cards would give.
They should be doing Extreme V cards now, instead of going backwards with four-year-old technology.
30MBps probably ends up being more like 20MBps write in practice (their 15MBps SD card gives me 11MBps write sustained).
RED needs pretty much the fastest CF cards around to sustain its full record capabilities, and I be this can't handle it. More like a 300x card for RED...
This is a photographer's dream. I will definitely be picking on up. Convenience is worth the $300.
Note: it is 32 GB, not 32 MB -- the article is off by a factor of 1000! (30 MB/s is the data rate, not the capacity). Oops! Look at the picture.
