2TB memory cards by SDXC

There were days where we use to have huge machines to store a bit of data. And as the technologies coming up the memory storage devices are getting smaller and smaller and infact we cay say like they are such portable devices that u need to take care where you are having those devices in your own pocket. Well these days we can store Gb's of memory in a small chip and carry with you.

But CES 2009 brings an amazing surprise and a dramatic improvement in the field of portable storage. The new specification of memory cards known as SDXC( SD eXtended Capacity) can store hundreds of gigs of data on a single card.

The SDXC cards are capable of holding a massive 2TB (2048GB) of Data on a single card and currently these cards can transfer data at 104 MB per second but the team has a roadmap to raise it to 300MB per second. This is a major step in the development of storage devices and it is irresistible to see such huge amount of data in such a tiny space.

“SDXC is a large-capacity card that can store more than 4,000 RAW images, which is the uncompressed mode professionals use, and 17,000 of the fine-mode most consumers use.” said Shigeto Kanda, general manager at Canon. Developed by the SD Association, specifications for the new SDXC standard will be released in the first quarter of 2009.

By this revolution in the storage of memory in a chip , users can transmit their mobile phones into media centers.Imagine more than 100 HD movies in a single chip which is in your hand . gossh this is damn good thing i have ever imagined.
