WTH would you do with a 2TB memory card?

[mike_jmg]

Well, dream no more because the SD Assocation has just announced a new standard that will allow mobile phones, cameras and camcorders to store 2 TERABYTES of data on a flash card the size of your current MicroSD card. And speaking of which, they’ll be compatible with current SD 2.0 drives to ensure a smooth transition

The new specification is called SDXC and products with the new flash memory won’t likely reach the market until 2010. The organization’s press release explains that you could store 100 HD movies, 60 Hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-mode photos on such a card. Read/write speeds you ask? Currently 104 megabytes per second and hopefully, by launch, will reach 300 megabytes per second.

This thing could hold all of my media and data combined even leaving some room to spare:eek:.

If they manage to acomplish this, can you imagine the consequences. The netbook I was just planing to buy will be already obsolete, as with this they could make another one, lighter, more powerful, less power consuming, etc.

This is HUGE!, both literaly and figuratively

Any ideas on the pricing ???

To reply to the name of the topic, I would store 999,999,999 pictures of cam girls on the internet, and show it to eveyone possible

[newb_fo_life]

I would put all my pics of mudkipz on it.

That would make an awesome hard drive for my laptop (since it has a front loading SD slot), though the chances are the SD would over heat and malfunction within a matter of days with my usage.

Though to buy one and see if I can burn it out within a day or so would then put the company to the test, hopefully it is durable because I would think that this SD would possibly be in the region of $200-300.

[blackrave]

If I had it now, I'd sell it for GBP 25,000.

[Malksta]

I would fill it with pictures of me

[dejkirkby]

I'd use it to back up the shit I have now and store it in case something went wrong with my rig!!!

[Blue Protoman]

Could this become the video game media of the future?

[fg-54]

i would put all my porn in it...... i might need to buy two or three of those to back it ALL up tho :P

For me, one will do just fine to achieve that purpose, with about 1950 GB of free space.

But seriously, imagine if they manage to pull this off, I think almost all storage devices will go down the drain if not all of them, you could easily replace it for a Harddrive on a lighter more powerful laptop or netbook

[Eviltaco64]

I would sell it! :p

[rikseaside]

If I worked for the government, I would copy a database of everyone in the country's bank details, medical history and criminal records onto it then accidentally leave it on a train.:rolleyes:

Seriously though, data usage always expands to fill the storage available - e.g. improvements in audio and video quality have gone hand in hand with increases in storage space. I remember when hard drives were physically huge but the capacity was measured in tens of megabytes, and some people wondered why we would ever need anything bigger. Now I'm sure that in a few years we will wonder how we ever coped with only 2TB on such an enormous card.

[pibs]

Fill it with all the internet spam ever created. I would be called the savior of the internet and be crowned by Chuck Norris himself!

[LilSwish722]

I'd use that bad boy as an external HDD too.

[Blue Protoman]

You could probably host a large site on that thing alone.

[souLLy]

Probably lose it, those MicroSD cards are tiny

[acn010]

i has a terabyte of shit and a half... this would be useful for meh... but ill assume losing it couple of days later

[BlueCrab]

2TB is the maximum theoretical capacity of one of them, not something that will be easily done for a while, I'd think though.

[Buddy4point0]

This will become the modern day family's photo album.
Just one could hold every picture and video of you and your children growing up.

I also think that banks will start allowing you to diposite data, not just money.
Everyone would have thier own 'safe deposite drive' and people would copy thier photo album cards into it for safety.

[Blue Protoman]

Both are nice ideas.

If a PSP equivalent came out I would fill it with Music, Videos, Games and a ton of Homebrew :)

As for the card you quoted, I would use it instead of an external Hard Drive :thumbup:

[quicksilver02]

wow! :p if i have this im going to bring my whole files everyday :)

[Triv1um]

All my porn and my /b/ folder. :P
