A 2TB SD card could hold 100 high-definition movies or 60 hours of HD recordings
The SD Association unveiled a new SD card specification this week at the 2009 International CES that it said can support data storage capacities of up to 2TB with read/write speeds up to 104MB/sec. The specification, called SDXC (eXtended Capacity), uses Microsoft's exFAT file system to support the large capacity and interoperability in a broad range of PCs, consumer electronics and mobile phones.
"SDXC is a large-capacity card that can store more than 4,000 RAW images, which is the uncompressed mode professionals use, and 17,000 of the fine-mode most consumers use," Shigeto Kanda, general manager at Canon, said in a statement. "That capacity, combined with the exFAT file system, increases movie recording time and reduces starting time to improve photo-capturing opportunities."

The SD Association, which sets standards for Secure Digital technology, was founded by Panasonic, SanDisk and Toshiba.
