where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
OK so this info was sent to me by My Wife no less. Think she's trying to tell me something!!?? OH well, its from a dentist, but interesting enough.
Here's the link... http://dentaltechnologyblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-sd-cards-could-have-2tb-capacity.html
300MB/s? I thought that might be a typo and it's really 300Mb/s, but the wikipedia article agrees. SD cards for the win.
just wondering when it will be available, as there are some more news about SD XC cards from different vendors
Even at 30MBps it would be admirable storage at 2TB, it would make external HDDs obsolete.
Yeah, we'll still need to delete at 2TB because they'd probably be super expensive when they first come out.
I'd hate to have a card failure too!
Screw that, I'm sticking with my 8 gig SDHC card... :D
This isn't really a rumor. Sony announced a 2TB memory stick a long time ago and Nikon was said to be making future models SDXC compatible.

SDXC was announced at CES 12 months ago.
SDHC has an addressable limit of 2TB as well, but the current specification artificially caps it at 32GB. We'll see if SDXC gets to market with penetration before device makers start breaking the SD(HC) standard again (as they did to break the 2GB cap on SD. Do you recall the competing 4GB pseudostandards we had before SDHC was formalized?)
Dual slots would make these cards very interesting wouldn't it? Who said the megapixel race was over again?
Panasonic unveiled 32gb and 48gb SDXC cards at CES2010. They also showed a roadmap with 128gb, 256gb, 512gb, 1TB, and 2TB SDXC cards all coming next year!
Do you still think CF cards can compete?
2TB!?!?! What the duck!
Ooh, get me a 4TB CF!
CF cards are done the moment Camera Manufacturer decides that they are no longer needed, like it is happening to XD cards(finally). It would make more sense to use dual SDXC(SD) cards than having both CF/SD or dual CF cards.

BTW I would be even better if Sony would finally give up on their stupid card variation
Pete they kinda already did. Sony announced new Sony brand SDHC cards!
Yes but not like Oly, have they yet moved to the card in their P&S camera, but they have SD in their DSLR now.
Pete
Give them time. Why else would they come out with a Sony brand SDHC card?
