It has finally happened: an SD card has now broken the 1 terabyte threshold. SanDisk and its parent company Western Digital today unveiled a new 1 terabyte SDXC card, ushering in a new era of tiny memory cards with massive storage capacities.
The prototype memory card was unveiled by the brands at Photokina 2016 over in Cologne, Germany. This announcement comes 16 years after SanDisk unveiled the world’s first 64 megabyte SD card — a breakthrough in capacity at the time. Less than two decades later, we can now cram nearly 16,000 times the data onto a memory card of the same size.
Holy crap.
I've never even come close to filling the 64GB card I keep in my Nikon D90. It holds 3600 or so pix.
“I’ve never even come close to filling the 64GB card I keep in my Nikon D90.”
That’s ’cause you aren’t shooting hours and hours of video.
oh like there’s hours of stuff out there worth recording. bah!
I have a 128GB microSD card in my phone. Enough for all my music. And the card itself is tiny. It was just £25. Crazy.
Not hours, maybe, but certainly minutes: Geezer making morning coffee using Starbucks Instant and Coffeemate.
With enough minutes, you could have hours.
nice :)
looks like a fantastic place, too.
