thewayneStorage cards are insane, and I am very appreciative at how the prices have come down. My new camera I have two 256 gig cards, I have my camera write the same image to both cards simultaneously for backup in case one card fails, and since I'm recording in JPEG-only, most of the time it's showing that I have room for over 10,000 images.
I don't think I'll be buying a 4 TB card any time soon.
Not to mention, how many batteries would you need to fill a card with that many images?!
There's a curious thing mentioned in the article that is roundly ridiculed in the article, and one thing that is very troubling. The curious thing is the transfer speed. Could be better. Looks like these cards may not be ideal for high-speed shooters, but we'll know more closer to when they come out and start getting tested. The other problem is that Western Digital bought SanDisk, and people have been very unhappy with their memory cards of late, experiencing phantom failures where the card just dies for no apparent reason.
Hence my deciding that since my camera has two memory card slots, why not give myself some redundancy.
And no, my cards are not SanDisk, they're PNY.
Still, an interesting development in memory cards. Could be very beneficial to people who produce video.
