SanDisk, Inventor of CompactFlash, Announces Continued CompactFlash Support for Windows-Powered Pocket PCs

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2000--SanDisk Corporation (Nasdaq:SNDK), the world's largest
supplier of flash data storage products and inventor of CompactFlash(TM) (CF(TM)) memory cards, announced today the
continued support of the CompactFlash standard in Microsoft Windows-powered Pocket PCs. SanDisk joined Microsoft
and other Pocket PC Launch Partners today for the Pocket PC Launch to bring next-generation mobile devices to
consumers and the enterprise.

By teaming with Microsoft and its other Pocket PC Launch Partners, SanDisk is helping to expand the functionality and
usage of today's Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and putting the power of the PC in the user's pocket.

"Pocket PCs," have considerably more power than traditional PDAs according to Microsoft, with a 32-bit CPU and 16
Megabytes (MB) to 32MB of Random Access Memory (RAM). With the addition of industry standard CF expansion
slots, users can extend their storage and connectivity options. For example, users can take a CF card and insert it into the
Pocket PC to add up to 192MB of flash storage.
