After unveiling the first 16 GB microSDHC memory card back in October 2008, Toshiba today announced the world’s first 64GB SDXC memory card, which also boasts the fastest data transfer rate out there. The card has a top write speed of 35Mbps and a read speed of 60Mbps, enough for handling a 2.4GB video file in 70 seconds.
Toshiba plans to ship the first samples of the new card to OEM partners in November, followed by general sales starting sometime in spring 2010. In theory, an SDXC memory card (a next-generation SD card) is even able to store 2TB (SDHC maxes out at 32GB).
Around that time, the company also aims at launching a new SDHC cards, a 16GB and a 32GB model. Both versions feature a write speed of 35Mbps and a read speed of 60Mbps. They are expected to go on sale in spring 2010.
Should I hold off buying SDHC devices until Spring 2010? I fancy a Full HD Digital camera, so 2TB would come in useful
i just buying this device.. could some one tell is this available on ebay…
i love technology.
I always wondered one thing about the 32GB limit of SDHC cards.
Just WHAT filesystem will the next format use?
FAT32 can theoretically hit 2TB partitions, but while Windows 2000 and above will read FAT32 partitions of any size, it will refuse to format in over 32GB with it’s built in formatter.
Plus the increased chances of people having files over 4GB on such large flash memory.
Lets face it, most people that would get one of these will be running a Windows system, and not being able to format will be a big problem, as will the 4GB FAT32 filelimit.
Just how long are we going to be using FAT32 on these damn things until we can finally get a FS that all operating systems support that is better?
You mean MBps, not Mbps. Big difference…a factor of 8.
