Wow bigger than my netbook hdd
aaand, that's a good thing. :D
speaking of good things, I want one of these as my backup drive.
Hmmmm.....this will go nicely with my Creative Zii (hopefully they support 64gb cards).
nah, it don't support XC.
:(
i'm interested in that. you have a problem?
Does that left image hurt anyone else's eyes?
No not mine but it might hurt my wallet when I go to snag one.
i might seem weird, but in all my life i have owned less than 15GB of files and the biggest file i ever downloaded on the net was 750MB :\
Yeah, you are weird.
Yeah you wimp change your user name:)
Still insist on shooting with CF.
Still insist on shooting on 3.5" floppies with my Sony Mavica.
Lol, classic, makes you wonder though, how come they could put a silly floppy drive on a digital cam but can't put something simple that all users want on the PSP for instance, weird company.
While having a 64GB card for your D300 would be sweet, imagine taking just 30GB of pictures (which would probably take you a week to sort through) and then having a read/write error and have to format. Thats why I just have a bunch of 15-20MB/s cards, 2-4GB each. In case one conchs out you can just put another in. And not put all your eggs in one basket with one monster card. Having said that though the 35MB/s write is pretty nice. I think my camera will slow down before the card do
Maybe Apple made a good move with the SD slot.
How is that? Expresscard slot is better because you can just slide an SD reader in. You still have the option of putting something else in where that is removed in the macbooks where the expresscard slot was replaced with the SD. Why not just ADD an SD? They are really small. Apple is about 4 years late to SD card slots in laptops, and they STILL didn't do it right.
"Apple is about 4 years late to SD card slots in laptops, and they STILL didn't do it right."
When has that ever stopped Apple? Just look at the iPhone 3GS commercials: They're advertising features that are brand new to the iphone, but that other smartphones and even regular dumb phones (I had video recording and voice activated dialing on my free-with-contract Audiovox flip phone in 2005) have had for years.
Mmmmm. Organized Crime.
yes i've been waiting for this!
GOD DAMN I love that word.
Capacious? Me too. :-)
god i love the memory wars
All I'm interested in is a 32 or 64g microSD. cmonnnn
Kudos for putting the read/write speed clearly on the thing, Sometimes they sell SD cards and claim things about it but it says nothing about any speed on the thing itself and sometimes it's even a small peeloff sticker that has the brand, makes you really wonder what you get if you purchase it.
I think I'll pass up an SSD and wait for these to get bigger (and much cheaper).
64GB? You could almost fit 2 RAWs on there at once!
I find sdhc and sdxc really annoying, the original sd had limitations for a reason with sdhc they should of known people would use more than 16gb. They should of had a more open standard like usb with mass storage that is probably infinite in the future. I'm willing to bet that the original sdio system could do this, too bad sdhc cards were not built on this.
Yet another ploy like hdmi to get us to buy new stuff?
WOW, looks like 2 more years for the 1 TB card .. lol !
Yeah its too bad these things arent backwards compatible. I enjoy moving forward but why must weinsist on leaving the old behind, especially if its still serves a purpose? Oh well guess its time to buy a new card and camera! Wait... do i have that kind of money?
Thought you'd like to know that the New York Times released this news story just yesterday ... nine days after Engadget.
The only new information I got was that Toshiba said that this new SDXC can eventually go to 2 TB. That's crazy.
That's twice what my current PC has right now.
I wish they had faster transfer speeds though.
