Building on its strong entry into the handheld gaming market with high-capacity flash memory cards, SanDisk(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today introduced a gaming-oriented USB smart drive -- the SanDisk Cruzer Crossfire(TM) -- to serve the needs of console and PC video gamers. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where SanDisk is demonstrating several new products at Booth 30329, Level 3 of the South Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Apart from consoles, personal computer gaming also can make use of smart drives to save game levels, previews and interactive game content, according to Christina Day, SanDisk's senior manager of product marketing for gaming cards and flash drives. In that vein, the SanDisk Cruzer Crossfire is U3-enabled, thus providing a platform to store a variety of applications, including PC games.(2) And the U3 user interface, called the U3 Launchpad, is specially designed for gamers, said Day.
