As for the speed specification. They classify speeds of 2,4, and 6MB/sec. I must be missing something because that seems like a big step backward.

I hate it when companies don't think ahead. If they are forced to change and have to have a limitation why don't they go to something rediculous like 500GB.

The same thing happened with happened with hard drives. I remember when I got one that was one of the first that was more that 1000 megs and I had a hard time with it. Now everytime someone gets a new hard drive they ask me why it only reads 131 GB. There are simple updates for that I know but still.

All I know is Vista better support 1TB hard drives and preferrably they can build in support for drives up to 8TB+ because if not we will go through the same problem. ]]>Jun 8th 2006 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/
3. Maybe 4 is pushing it, but there's already more removable flash emmory formats than I have fingers. Yeah, one or 2 might have 5-10 MB/s fater read/write whatever, but when it's a proprietory format or no one else uses it, the cost gets deffered to us. I know I'm only buying products that are SD or Mem stick (maybe xD).

Work on 1 format, and make it awesome. Your avarage consumer doesn't care about formats and gets pissed when they have to reinvest in more cards! And we can't forget about readers!]]>Jun 8th 2006 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/Jun 8th 2006 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/Jun 8th 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/panasonics-4gb-sdhc-card-set-to-drop-july-25/
I highly doubt these new cards are anymore durable than the best of current SD cards. My ATP SD card is waterproof and uses SLC chips, which are better than the cheaper MLC chips.

The FAT32 spec can support up to at least 8TB. The only mention of a 32GB limit is that Windows 2000 and XP can only create FAT32 volumes up to 32GB, but otherwise support FAT32 volumes of any size. Solution is to use another utility to create large FAT32 volumes.]]>Jun 9th 2006 10:10AM
