Amazing... I remember, my first memory card only has 8Mb.

I could`ve photoshopped that better

Sure you could've, queer.

2 TB OMG. if this is true, im so buying those cheap mp3 players with the expansion slots

2tb MY GOD, thats astronomical for it to be a micro if it becomes real, hell ill make it my new harddrive O.o

but i bet its gonan be like 600$

I'll lol when everyone looses it because it's so small

Finaly if this shit is real then i could replace my mp3 with a smart phone, and carry my movie library and books and pics and.... ...wow
good call legolas the fact that the superficial casing looks fake is a good sighn that this is a hoax, not the fact that the claims are insaino.

i remember when 1 gb were the craze, and that was only a few years ago!

That doesn't mean the card will have 2 TB of memory, just that it can *address* 2 TB. The actual card will probably be comparable to normal SD cards in capacity, but the standard will have room to expand. Just like how SD cards can address up to 4 GB, but not all of them have that much (which is why they came out with SDHC to address more than 4 GB). Sorry to burst your bubble.

And the FAT file system is hardly "venerable". It gets massively fragmented and the only reason it is used is because all platforms support it.

That is definately photoshopped. You should have changed the GB to TB and not the G to T because you can easily spot the T is smaller than the B.

Yes, I Photoshopped it badly on purpose. So it looks silly. For humor. You know? The silly?

The rendering is a joke. The announcement is real.

Also, Nick, the FAT file system was created in 1976. It's almost as old as I am. In computer years, that's venerable.

This is misleading. The new standard just means that their using a new file system, a new way of organizing data, that has a higher cap on how much it could theoretically organize. Windows Vista can theoretically support hard drives over 16,000TB, but we are a long way away from that, just like we are several years away putting 2TB onto something the size of an SD card. I imagine that when we do have the tech to put that much memory on something that size, we will have moved onto a new memory card format. The real news here is the increased transfer speed, 8x faster than current SD cards and the possibility of making it 24x faster.

Also, sure the original FAT may have been created 30 years ago, but thats quite different from the exFAT and FAT32 file systems we use today. FAT hasn't been implemented since Windows ME.

And I believe that Nick wasn't saying that it was old, only that it wasn't deserving of respect, being as flawed as it was.

*wasn't old

Yes, the card may have been photoshopped, but go on the SD website under AP press releases and it's all there, so don't call shenanigans until you've done your research...

Memory cards this big are not very usefull. MC's are capable of reading very fast, but writing is slower + it reduces the lifespan of a MC if you tend to write a lot of data over and over again. (MP3's, video, etc.)

look here : http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc .. it say's that the card would be from 32 GB (we have this on the market) to 2 TB...so it doesn't matter that the image is photoshoped or not (it may be a prototye as i know..or used to make the article more interesting...wouldn't you read the article if you saw that picture?). The more space more cheaper the other ones :D ...

The PhotoShop discussion is ridiculous. The card pictured never has, and never will exist. The card pictured is a MicroSD card, but the format being discussed is the new SDXC format, which will be he size of the standard SD card. They will likely come out with MiniSDXC and MicroSDX, but the MicroSD pictured still has the 32GB limit.

The SD Association rep told me that the MicroSDXC format will have the same 2 TB maximum size as the bigger SDXC cards, just like today's MicroSDHC and SDHC.

Of course, any such cards are several years away, but I think everyone's clear on that.

Frickin' liar! That is NOT photoshopped!!!

I wonder if the pricing is really going to be incredibly high by the time this hits the market, flash memory is already cheap as it is and it keeps dropping down in price. Theres absolutely no need at all for this on a phone though, but for something like an HD camcorder, definately

Would you look at that maybe leglas is right,,, the T in tb is smaller and dis colored so they mightve blanked out the g and photoshopped a t in there but i dont doubt theyre coming up with that.. technology is crazy nowadays.. so you never know

has anyone thought of the heat transfer issues? moviong 2 TB of information at a time would melt a card like that. i think they really need to rethink their speeds at that capacity in a solid state piece of electronics.

Why stop at 2TB when 4TB is so much better!

The funny thing is.. not many people are actually reading it all and realizing that this is fake.

the thing is, I read not too long ago in a Popular Science Mag, that most piled silicon drives are being replaced with weaved carbon nano fibers. This type of storage medium could possibly expand the filing capabilities. Maybe not to 2TeraBytes, but maybe into the double digit Gigs.

I need this thing installed into my head so I can actualy remember more things at the time. When s that gonna happen?

yeah i remember that one! awesome post!

Actually, PohTayToez the card pictured has a 4 GB limit. Only SDHC can go above 4GB and this one showed is only SD. This is all old news. They have had this technology for a long time (Years not decades). The reason that 32GB was the biggest you could get was because that is what the company had agreed upon and compatibility issues with current hardware/software. Anyone who has bought an SDHC card and tried to use it in a SDHC non-compatible device (i.e. phone, camera, etc.) knows what I am talking about. The way the memory is stored gives it the 2TB limit also. This is why it is 2TB and not 4TB (or infinity for that case). I am not saying that there will never be a card bigger than 2TB, but I am saying that for this specific technology the limit is 2TB. Just like 4GB was the limit for SD series cards. From what I have read in the previous years, there is a difference from SD to SDHC and SDHC has the 2TB max. From what I have seen and heard, this SDXC looks just like marketing fluff and SDHC series is the same technology under a different name. The thing they need to work on is read/write speeds; the memory technology is already there.

Well if its comin out its already been made so why don't ya'll just shut your mouths and wait and see!

haha that T is so obvious. Clearly a joke, but close enough to look like someone trying...which adds to the joke! Brilliant if it was intentional. From a marketing stand-point. It's great.

To the regular wanna-be geek or poser-nerd, (those e-thugs sitting in your community college desktop support class), they'd be forwarding this URL to every friend they have. (All 5 of them.) Excited as shit with the major jump in the technology they've just witnessed.

Truth is:
There are projects in the works WAY beyond this. Just invest in a major silicon valley company (preferably one of which you use their products), and actually READ those monster, heavily-worded, reports. Most are out on a quarterly basis and they have some good insight on up and coming technology. They have to keep those uber-geeks, (the ones who are not tech-savvy, but also smart enough to invest as well), interested and buying those precious shares, driving prices...

I have a dual-sim cell phone equipped with a full sized media projector and integrated hd digital camera/camcorder on my way to me in the mail. I cant wait to try it. This is stuff the average joe can buy. Imagine the toys those execs are rockin in their homes.

Innovation never stops. Get your ideas in motion!

any better?

made with paint. no special §hitz

Its over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mb

Its pretty cool wonder if it will work on a psp...

Just imagine how many hacked games you can put on then muahahaha
