Team announces 64GB SDXC card

Posted on 24 May 2010 at 10:44

The Team Group Inc. has released the largest SD-format memory card to date: the extreme-speed SDXC.

Spotted over on TweakTown's site and being one of the first high-capacity SDXC cards available, and representing an update to the SDHC format which was itself an upgrade of the SD card format, the Team Extreme Speed SDXC card is to be officially launched at Computex 2010 - but details have been released ahead of time which reveal it to be a seriously powerful contender in the portable storage market.

Designed to store a whopping 64GB in a card the same size as your average SD card, Team's creation promises read speeds of 30MB/s - and write speeds at a still impressive 20MB/s - enough to store a high-definition video stream with ease.

The high-speed SDXC cards are designed for use in digital cameras, but it's in high-definition digital camcorders such as Sony's up-coming interchangeable lens camcorder that they will really come into their own. With the ability to store vast quantities of data quickly, SDXC cards will likely become the de-facto standard for such devices - and Team is hoping to be one of the first to hit the market running with its latest range.

Thus far Team hasn't released pricing or availability information for its latest SDXC card, but more information is expected following the company's official launch at Computex 2010 at the start of next month.

Hi, Regarding SDXC; In a few years there will be billions of SDXC cards all over the world; all using the exFAT file system. No option. This is the standard. Most embedded devices use Linux (Google’s Android, Intel’s and Nokia’s MeeGo, Samsung's Bada, etc.). Linux adoption is growing, taking market share from most of the proprietary operating systems. Basically, Tuxera has assumed a leadership role, through work with Microsoft and the SD Association, in handling billions of consumer electronics devices that will be using SDXC cards in the coming years. Tuxera exFAT for Android and other Linux systems was a major first. – Best Lauren
