Imagine losing that card.
It might be important to note that not all mobile devices with an SD card slot will support this capacity
[QUOTE=kimr120;45960365]Imagine losing that card.[/QUOTE] You'd lose the card you used to use the card.
[QUOTE=martijnp3000;45960424]It might be important to note that not all mobile devices with an SD card slot will support this capacity[/QUOTE] AFAIK most won't support more than 64 GB
Fucking $800? Fuck that, I'd rather deal with the relative bulk of an SSD. Yes I know it's going to drop in price eventually. Also the video production pros (as this seems to be targeting) don't even deal with SD cards because they're the least cost efficient storage medium for capturing digital video (and typically the slowest next to HDDs) and this isn't exactly helping. They either use CF cards, SSDs or in a few cases, HDDs. If you have $800 lying around for an SD card then your equipment is probably far beyond the need for them anyway. Also what kind of 4k camera can squeeze 30 hours of 4k video on 512GB, the bitrate would have to be pretty low.
How fast can these mem cards write/read data ? [QUOTE]The 4K format - which is four times the resolution of HD[/QUOTE] Also, I'm curious now, isn't 4k res 2 times 1080p ?

[QUOTE=ferdam;45962869]How fast can these mem cards write/read data ? Also, I'm curious now, isn't 4k res 2 times 1080p ?[/QUOTE] Any doubling of resolution is in fact a quadruple of render space.

Thanks
Man it would be nice if a smartphone supported one of these. That could completely replace your ipod or other music player. Although a good amount of android phones support a 128gb SD afaik. Also if I remember right 1440p is like 70 something % more pixels than 1080p so not quite double.
This has more memory than my laptops HDD :v:

Doable for decent 4k, but certainly not for anything pro level.
At 95MB/s that's an hour and a half to fill the whole thing. But damn that little SD card holds more than some hard drives. Impressive.
Jesus christ....I want this thing for my 3DS. God, I'll have a limitless Vault for all of my eShop purchases. I'll never have to buy a retail game for 3DS ever again. But screw that price tag.
That's more than my actual hard drive. :( Both of them combined, in fact.
