SanDisk, Nikon and Sony Develop 500MB/sec 2TB Flash Card
Lucas123 writes "SanDisk, Nikon and Sony are jointly developing a new Compact Flash card specification for the professional photography and video markets that boosts data transfer rates from 167MB/sec with today's 6.0 specification to 500MB/sec. The newly proposed specification would also offer up cards with a theoretical maximum capacity of 2TB, which would be conducive to recording high-definition video."
Says up there that the "proposed specification would also offer up cards with a theoretical maximum capacity of 2TM". That's one gonzo-whopper of a specification being able to offer up physical cards. I wonder how that's done. Maybe they have a machine that accepts specifications and spits out cards. That must be it.
I think the problem is the wording in the article.
I pee'd a bit when I read the title... oh... I did again when I read it for the second time... look, there I go again!
I thought maybe, just maybe Sony and Nikon have developed some amazing new technology that they kept secret up until now and are blowing the doors off the solid state storage market.
But no... bit of a let down... they're just writing a spec, not developing an actual card... booooo
I'm developing a "specification" that can go up to 500 Petabytes/second, with 2 Zettabytes of storage. Not that we have the materials to build it, but can I get in the news now??
