If this is cheap, I may buy some for emergencies.

If they come out with a CF that is larger than 1GB

I'm using them for clients.]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/

I'm not sure if I think this is lame or interesting....

......it sure would do a good job to consolidate evidence rooms at police stations.... but a WORM SD card seems sorta.... uh, why?]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
Neat idea. I wonder if music, movies or maybe even video games (like PC games) will come on these in the future?]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
Unless the newest game consoles had hard drives so big that you'd just pop this in and download it to the console -- would it be fast enough to run something off of these?]]>Jul 15th 2008 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
I agree with Kris in that optical is outdated, slow, etc... Solid State is where the close future is heading. In all honesty I think we should ditch blue-ray and go straight to chips and high storage media players and home theaters.]]>Jul 15th 2008 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
This sounds like a poor implementation of a good idea, to me... hackers will always have a field day with claims like this, and it will guarantee evidence rooms will continue to fill up with more crap. Digital watermarking is just as (un)safe, and doesn't require specialized hardware.]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
Also, I agree with the guy who says that courts won't use them....just like they won't use any other electronic media. Too easy to alter. The info on these cards could be altered simply by copying it off, altering it, and writing it to another card. Unless they provide unique, non-repeating, unalterable serial numbers internally and externally on these cards, they will only be a convenient non-deletable storage device.]]>Jul 15th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
We use these for customers who need to be ensured the data can not be altered (Usually legal reasons especially after Enron and such)

Before you try to be sarcastic calling it "Magical tape" try to do a little research.... WORM technology is not new.... this is just a new form it has developed into. ]]>Jul 15th 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/Jul 15th 2008 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sandisk-introduces-write-once-worm-sd-cards/
