| SDXC Cards Announced: 2 Freakin' TB SD Cards!
http://www.liliputing.com/2009/01/sd...f-storage.html 
SDHCs are officially obsolete hahahaha Quote: |
That 16GB SDHC card that provides extra storage for your netbook not doing it for you? Not to worry. The SD Association has announced a new specification for SDXC cards, with the XC standing for extended capacity. The new cards will support up to 2TB of storage, and will have higher bus speeds which means faster transfers. As the press release puts it,t hat means you can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording, or 17,000 fine-mode photos on a single card. Of course, those numbers are kind of arbitrary and could differ depending on your video or photo settings.

The standard provides SUPPORT for up to 2TB, but not like they're going to be able to MAKE 2TB SD cards anytime in the near future...

So? Same thing as SDHC. 4GB cards come out first, and now we have 32GB ones.
Now I also feel silly for buying a 128GB SSD hahaha  | |

buying SSD now is silly
especially when you can tell the price will come down to a point thats cheaper then current HDD by looking at the the history of flash drives.

Yeah, bought that new RunCore one for my HP Mini. Price is...OK. It's quick, so decent value. 
Now I wonder if SDXC support can be added to regular SD slots like SDHC support has been added? My DSLR went from vanilla SD to SDHC with a firmware upgrade.

Hmm, maybe. But who knows? And what were SD cards at when SDHC was announced? 1GB? Then again 32GB cards now aren't really viable; way too expensive.

32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 -> 512 -> 1024
I'd say about 3 years.

I'd say about 3 years. | How do you get three years from that? I would say it doubles roughly every year, so next year, we might see 32GB, in two years 64GB... etc... and then in six years, 1TB... but even then it might not happen.
I mean, the rate of hard drive capacity increases has slowed down dramatically in the last few years, nowhere near double.
My guess would be that the increase of capacities of SD cards will slow down way before it ever reaches 1TB.

I mean, 1TB hard drives only came out late 2007.
How long was that after 16GB hard drives came out? That was back around 1997, so it took about ten years to go from 16GB to 1TB.
There's no reason to think that SD cards wouldn't take just as long or longer...

is this 2TB supposed to fit in the same form factor as normal SD? because that would take some crazy gypsy magic to make happen. the standard may SUPPORT 2TB, but they probably won't come close to that anytime soon. Anyone can announce a format with support of 100000000TB, that doesnt mean they're anywhere near making cards that can do it yet tho.

That's what they said about 1GB cards back in the day.
Now, if they cram 2TB on to an microSDXC card, then that'll really take some black voodoo.  | |
