SDXC Card Supports 2TB of Storage!

I've been very happy using 32 GB SDHC cards this year, but I'm looking forward to this new SDXC (eXtended Capacity) memory card which supports up to 2TB (2 Terabytes) of storage. The next-generation SDXC card was announced at the 2009 International CES, but don't expect to see it in stores any time soon.  When it becomes available (?) it will be perfect for capturing high-definition video on compatible camcorders, with read/write speeds at 104 megabytes per second now, and 300 megabytes per second in the future. In fact, according to the SD Association, a 2TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade photos!

"SDXC combines a higher capacity roadmap with faster transfer speeds as a means to exploit NAND flash memory technology as a compelling choice for portable memory storage and interoperability," said Joseph Unsworth, research director, NAND Flash Semiconductors, at Gartner. "With industry support, SDXC presents manufacturers with the opportunity to kindle consumer demand for more advanced handset features and functionality in consumer electronics behind the ubiquitous SD interface."
