2TB SDXC Memory Card Announced
SD Association makes another step forward to a higher storage capacity of its removable memory with the announcement the next generation SD Memory Card, the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity), a new standard for storing data more than 32 GB and up to 2 terabytes (TB). This is a next-generation memory card format read/write speeds of 300 megabytes per second. SDXC will provide maximum speeds even when it achieves its maximum storage capacity.
“SDXC is a large-capacity card that can store more than 4,000 RAW images, which is the uncompressed mode professionals use, and 17,000 of the fine-mode most consumers use.” said Shigeto Kanda, general manager at Canon.
This innovation dramatically improves consumers’ digital lifestyles by providing the portable storage and speed needed to store weeks of high-definition video, years of photo collections and months of music to mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, and other consumer electronic devices.
SDXC allows users to enjoy more from their mobile phones. Larger capacity and faster transfer speeds allow for expanded entertainment and data storage. A 2TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording. “With SDXC, consumers can quickly download higher quality content to their phones, including games, video and music – giving consumers a richer media and content experience,” said James Taylor, president of the SD Association.
SDXC is also the first memory card specification to provide 2TB storage without hindering the high-speed performance necessary for high-end photography. Improvements in interface speed allow further increases in continuous shooting speed and higher resolution movie recordings.
The SD Association is a global ecosystem of more than 1,100 technology companies charged with setting interoperable SD standards. Today, mobile phones, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, audio players, automotive multimedia systems, handheld PCs, cameras and camcorders feature SD interoperability.

Specifications for the new SDXC standard will be released in the first quarter of 2009.
