    A single SD card might someday be enough to hold your entire media collection, no matter how huge it is; and it'll obviously be even faster than today's offerings. The SD Association (the group that sets memory card standards) just announced a new specification called SD Express, which adds PCI Express and NVMe interfaces to the cards, thus ramping up data transfer speeds to as much as 985MB per second -- almost doubling that of last year's SSDs. This spec can be applied to future SDXC and SDHC memory cards, but it'll require the same additional pins as UHS-II and UHS-III specs to support the extra bandwidth.
