CES 2009: New SD card standard paves the way for 2TB capacities

Comments (0)

sd-xc-card.jpgThe SD association has announced a new top-end to the capacities of its eponymous flash memory cards. The new spec is called "SDXC" - short for "eXtended Capacity", and it'll hold up to 2TB of data, with transfer speeds rocketing up to 104MB/s. In contrast, the previous maximums were 32GB and 10MB/s.

This is just a specification - there's no products yet - and support for the format will have to make its way into devices before it'll be much use selling the cards. However, I think it's fairly safe to say that we'll be seeing these on shelves in a year or so.
