$5,000 SanDisk cards: Solid Gold but still can't dance

by Thomas Ricker posted Jun 1st 2007 at 8:39AM

What could be better than sweet, NANDy flash? Precious metal versions of course. We're not talking faux, Thanko gold here folks, these cards are Marilyn McCoo baby, solid gold. The 150g CompactFlash card and 35g SDHC card are up for grabs in a SanDisk Hong Kong contest ending June 22nd. Winners of the CF card will be pocketing about $5,000 which we'd promptly flip for the biggest 2.5-inch, SATA SSD we could find.

"Marilyn McCoo baby, solid gold"??? Oh ... my ... God. That is one of the most disturbing things one can read this early in the morning. I'm almost afraid to ask how many who read Engadget have no clue what you're talking about.

Yeah, but some things are better left unknown. :) Besides, if it has to be explained, then the joke is completely lost.

Why does encasing FLASH MEMORY in a very conductive metal seem very....oh, I don't know....UNSTABLE!

I am pretty sure that they must have some layer of isolation coating inside.
