[...] SDXC got a 2009 CES unveiling and we are finally seeing the first batch thanks to Pretec. The companies first offering will come sporting 32GB capacity and a mighty respectable transfer speed of 50MB/s. While the card sounds great and even if it was available, there isn’t a device on the market that’s compatible yet. Sorry to get your hopes up. [...]

Melvis has it right. The 2TB figure is a “theoretical” limit. You will NOT see a 2TB SD card coming out for your digital phone, camera, etc. The SD cards will indeed get a lot more capacity and more speed as well, but 2TB . . . don’t hold your breath waiting to buy one anytime soon at your local Radio Shack.

I’m with Dark Cobra on this one. The anouncement is a new upcoming standard, not a product.

Just for the gullible naive . . . if those of us actually “IN” this industry had a dollar for every announced wonder product claiming to be on the horizon (but never actually materializing) we’d be very rich. Again, just watch . . . this will NEVER make it to market. CES has in the past been loaded with all kinds of wonder products that wow’d many but just never arrived. Just watch . . .

Add me to the “NO WAY” category. There is just no way to have a tiny SD card hold 2T of memory. This has to be an error.

No, no, no. I’m calling “bullshit” on this one. These are SD cards? 2 TBs? Terabytes? The biggest I can find for sale right now are 16 GB. Something’s wrong here.

That’s just insane, I could replace all 4 of my hard drives with one of these puppies. How long until we have SD-RAID?
