SDXC Memory Cards Promise 2TB of Storage, 300MBps Transfer
January 8th, 2009 by Myk Crawford
The next-generation SDXC (eXtended Capacity) memory card specification, announced today at CES 2009 in Las Vegas, dramatically improves consumers’ digital lifestyles by increasing storage capacity from 32 GB up to 2 TB and increasing SD interface read/write speeds up to 104 MB per second in 2009 with a road map to 300 MB per second. SDXC will provide more portable storage and speed, which are often required to support new features in consumer electronic devices and mobile phones.
A 2 TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade photos. Faster bus speeds will enable professional-level recording in compact consumer camcorders and increase the number of frames shot in a second with SDXC cameras.
