A 128 GB SD Memory Card For Enthusiasts
The card is rated at 133x speed, which translates to a data transfer bandwidth of about 20 MB/s.
What makes this card special is not just its price tag of about $700, but the fact that 128 GB capacity can be squeezed into a SD form factor. If you were to use the card to store 12 MP JPEG images, you would have enough room for 32,000 images - or about 17,000 21MP photos. Even if you store the data in uncompressed RAW format, there is space for 5200 uncompressed 21 MP RAW pictures.
The card can also be used for up to 36 hours of 1080p HD video or about 190 90 minute standard definition movies. Or you could install Windows 7 eight times.
The capacity and the price is well beyond of the needs of the average consumer, but it is no secret that these capacities (the card will also be available as a 64 GB version for about $500) will trickle down into the consumer space. Conceivably, they could serve as the only portable mass storage device you really need - storage that can be shared between your digital camera, video camera and a PC such as a netbook.

My old HP IPAQ 112 classic can only accept up to 64GB, and none of my card readers can accept above 64GB, nor can my netbook but my laptop probably can.
Wait that's a good point, Movies should be available on solid state storage in the future because for smaller sizes, it's cheaper than a DVD disc, faster and less likely to wear out as you use it (Or damage from scratches etc)
First of all since when do SD cards have batteries in them? Second, in 10 years 128GB of space will be negligible, not that it already isn't.
Would you really want to boot from it at those transfer speeds?
It costs less than a dollar to mass produce a 50Gb blu-ray, flash will never be cheaper to make than optical media. Besides 10x blu-ray drives have a much higher data transfer rate than your run of the mill SD card.
Flash will never be cheaper per Byte than optical? Wow, not only is that a bold statement, but I don't buy it for a minute. Optical has already reached it physical limits. While blu-ray is impressive, its the end of the road for the technology.
10x faster transfer rate? Did you pull that number out of your butt? 1x Blu-ray is 4.5MB/s. A bottom of the barrel x13 SD card is 2MB/s. The fastest bluray drive is 12x at 54MB/s while the fastest SD card is x760 at 95MB/s.
Flash has a long list of advantages over optical. The only thing optical has over flash right now is price per Byte. When that changes, optical will finally be dead. For many of us, it already is. BD-R's suck.
Just don't try applying any updates!
And thats why the SD card specs was revised to include SDHC and later SDXC and in fact SDXC, which this card is, will happily go into the TB zone. You'll probably need a card reader that can read SDHC (SDXC too i guess), your laptop is probably a lot newer so is compatible with the SDHC/SDXC your other stuff probably not so, sony pull off the same stuff with their myriad of iterations to the memory stick format......
another nice feature everybody loves vs. bluray is size when's the last time you threw 25-50 bluray discs in your pocket? how big is your bluray disc collection? is it in one of those shelves or rack holders that are huge and unsightly?
have you ever tried to erase a bluray disc and or change/add-in more media to it? was it as easy as copy and paste? can you put entire series of shows onto just one despite it being 10+ seasons long. can you change the format of your 720p to 1080p to 1440p or larger?
if size didn't matter and quality never got better i'd bet we'd still be stuck with the phonographs.
it wasn't all that long ago a 1gb hdd cost $500 and a blank cd-r was $10 a pop.
