Just recently Kevin Schader, the SD Association’s Director of Communications, announced that SDXC cards packing up to 64GB of storage would be arriving early next year.

The cards, which will start at 64GB and have transfer speeds of 52MB/s will pave the way for the theoretical limit of 2TB cards with 300MB/s transfer speeds, according to Schader, but he wasn’t able to say exactly when.

The 64GB specification was sent out to member companies of the SD Association in April, so there should be plenty of ways to use them once they’re out.

Will the read write speeds on these be as fast or faster than the SSD hard drive they have been trying to sell us lately ?

And will they be cheaper. Seems like the hard drive may be gone in two years. There may not even be a place to plug in a hard drive on the Motherboard. Just have 2 or 4 slots on the motherboard to hold these.

I dont think so...

i read that :

SDXC in SDHC device: Dosent work

But!  SD and SDHC will work in SDXC device

but since it will be optimised for far more gigs of storage... will 4,8,16GB become the 64MB and 512MB cards of tomorow?
