...and hopefully ssd price will get smaller. Doubtfully.

 

[icepick314]

article title is misleading...

USB drives and SD cards with 64GB or more capacity have been available for years...

it should say new NAND cells will be available on next gen USB and SD cards...

I Second that, Although SDXC has been a bit of barrier considering all the Non XC devices i have...

i was hoping to break the 32Gb barrier on micro SD. I expected bigger capacities by now.

That is GBs per chip not per device.

So... the 64GB SDXC card that I've been using in my camera for months doesn't exist yet? I'm confused.

Actually, it's 8GB per chip.

I was kinda hoping this would provide useful information like data rates, prices, & USB 3.0 availability. Samsung really needs to pay more for better Toms Hardware Ads disguised as articles.

 

[dEAne]

I would not consider having that big on an SD card.

Pedantic, he was rightly pointing out to the people who state they already have 64Gb SDXC cards, that if they crack it open it isn't a single chip but several.

We can't be far away from 1Tb USB3.0 flash drives, can we?

 

[eddieroolz]

If this lowers SSD prices by a bit more, then it is welcome news.

C'mon, guys, it's not that hard:

Gb = Gigabit= 1,024 bits of data.
GB = Gigabyte= 1,024 bytes = 8,192 bits of data

Please correct the article title; Word auto-correct probably capitalized it for Mr. Parrish automatically. If you read the article itself it makes sense.

That said, more storage per single chip with double data rate sounds good to me, especially if it leads to price drops.

When they make 1TB USB3.0 flash drives and they sell them under $100, I'll buy 20

I think you meant Kb and KB for those numbers, or you meant 1 Gb = 1,024 Mbits and 1 GB = 1,024 MBytes.
