The SD Association will lead a public technical discussion at CEATAC on October 7. Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) cards come in the same size card as regular SD cards, but have the potential to offer up to 2TB storage on a card the size of a stamp. SDXC accelerates SD interface read/write speeds up to 104 megabytes per second.
The SD Association will have a road map for data transfer bus interface speed up to 300 megabytes per second in the coming months. "The SDXC memory card specification creates innovative content and media opportunities for manufacturers and service providers and transcends removable memory’s traditional role in consumer electronics strategies," said James Taylor, president of the Alliance.
"At CEATEC, we'll reveal the SDXC memory card specification from the perspectives of memory card and device manufacturers and users. We'll also look at the many benefits and opportunities manufacturers and service providers win by implementing this new technology."
The SDXC memory card specification provides the portable storage and speed needed to store weeks of high-definition video, years of photo collections and months of music. It can be used in mobile phones, cameras, camcorders and other consumer electronic devices.
