Toshiba unveils 16GB microSDHC card of its own

SanDisk was first out of the gate with a 16GB microSDHC card, but Toshiba's just two months behind with the announcement of its iteration. Slated for mass production in January of 2009, the capacious SD-C16G should provide plenty of room for your EMF albums and that Rage Against the Machine discography. In related news, Tosh also introduced the soon-to-come SD-F16G and SD-F08G, 16GB / 8GB Class 6 SDHC cards that should handle even the quickest of cameras when they launch over the next few months. No prices to chew on just yet, but we'd wager they'll be competitive.

Imagine all the porn you can fit on these!

[pickleman77 @ Nov 26th 2008 1:51AM]

I would imagine 16 gb worth.

[Corey @ Nov 26th 2008 1:53AM]

I would imagine 15.259 GB worth.

[AlDeezy @ Nov 26th 2008 2:31AM]

I would imagine the unimaginable.

[care @ Nov 26th 2008 1:51AM]

[Evangelion @ Nov 26th 2008 1:55AM]

I can any personal data like movies and music so more? Sweet!

[Metkis @ Nov 26th 2008 1:59AM]

What is this, 1984?

[Zelatio @ Nov 26th 2008 2:20AM]

Since when did they talk like this is '84?

[Metkis @ Nov 26th 2008 2:24AM]

I was talking about the George Orwell novel. I hope someone here can share the reference with me... :(

[Patriks7 @ Nov 26th 2008 2:47AM]

Yah, I can also games and porn and more!

[omegamale @ Nov 26th 2008 6:03AM]

++good

[Loonie @ Nov 26th 2008 12:09PM]

Hell, I would have been delighted to just be able to any music.

[Messymeese @ Nov 26th 2008 1:56AM]

Now if only the iPhone had a microSD slot!

And yes, I did mention the iPhone, but at least I didn't say, "These r a ripoff of an Apple product!", like iEye would have.

[erwin @ Nov 26th 2008 2:06AM]

c'mon iEye...say something :))

[Cross Fire @ Nov 26th 2008 2:09AM]

Uh... is it just me, but does that say speed class 2 for the 16GB microSDHC card? kinda slow, n'est pas?

[Ricardo @ Nov 26th 2008 4:51AM]

Err... did you miss this part? "Tosh also introduced the soon-to-come SD-F16G and SD-F08G, 16GB / 8GB Class 6 SDHC cards"

Yes, it is class 2, and soon there will be class 6.

I would prefer class 4 though, I have 2 Sandisk, one class 4 and one Ultra class 6, and although the Ultra costs 30% more it's only around 10-15% faster, while class 4 is 80% faster than class 2.

[gazerbeam @ Nov 26th 2008 2:25AM]

I love the "corrected" EMF album quantity. well played.

[Maybe I Should Finaly Register @ Nov 26th 2008 2:41AM]

Those companies most likely already have 32gb or 64gb memory cards but they won't release it to the market because of that stupid political economy. They want to sell memory gradually and get as much money as they can :(

It makes me a saaaaaad panda :(

[absinthe party @ Nov 26th 2008 7:34AM]

I've always been afraid that I would swallow a microSDHC card one day, due to the size and... my desire to eat data storage.

[Brian Richardson @ Nov 26th 2008 8:11AM]

"Err... did you miss this part? "Tosh also introduced the soon-to-come SD-F16G and SD-F08G, 16GB / 8GB Class 6 SDHC cards"

What you didnt realize is that these class 6 cards are standard SD size, not micro.

@Harry

before YOU go RTFA, read the next damn line!

---->SDHC

[Adam H. @ Nov 26th 2008 9:31AM]

there was more to my comment, but the comment system ate it.

Basically, those second two are SDHC, however not microSDHC.

[J.T. Mill @ Nov 26th 2008 9:28AM]

Makes you wonder why Netbooks even need a hard drive / SSD. Just give 'em a internal SD slot or two and some of those class 6 SD cards :D

[tekdroid @ Nov 26th 2008 9:59PM]

So I can finally store all my... ahem 'homebrew' on my DS flashcart...

[tekdroid @ Nov 26th 2008 10:09PM]

They is tasty.

They only lack the write-protect switch from their parents, the SD card. Those write-protect switches are a delicacy around these parts. If it weren't for the fact that they are missing that delicious switch and the fact that SD is cheaper on my grocery bill (and more filling), I'd be eating microSD all week (instead of just every second friday).

That's good eatin'!

[tekdroid @ Nov 26th 2008 10:11PM]

Meant to respond to "absinthe party"...
Happy eating.
