Might be a nice thing to take along on the mission to Mars, where you won't be able to make prints or empty the card for a while.
I'd guess it's probably made for movie cameras ... |

If an 8GB card costs $12000, how much is 2TB gonna cost??? Probably Bill Gates is the only one that's gonna be able to afford it!

Yes it is for the new 1 gigapixel camera coming out hehehe. But really, they just came out with a 12gig CF card and I think the price is around $14,000. Can't wait to see what the new card will sell for (-:

I hope so, otherwise we will ALL need some serious computer upgrading! They don't even have a hard drive that big! Don't you think that should have come out first?????

The new 2TB memory card is going to use a completely new interface, so don't plan on plugging it into your CF slot:)

"2 TB seems like an awful lot, but remember Bill Gates famous statement ... "640K Really Ought To Be Enough.""
The statement was made by IBM, not Bill Gates. Microsoft was never involved in the design of the IBM PC. The actual qoute was "640k is more than anyone will ever need." Up to that point most computers had 64k RAM or less. IBM engineers multiplied by 10 figuring that would carry the technology forward for the forseeable future. For the record no one challenged that statement at the time.

I remember buying a Mac with a 10MB HD and thinking "This thing is HUGE!" and my 300 baud modem was screaming fast on GEnie. LOL

Wow that brings back some memories. I remember back in 87 I started a BBS with a 2400 baud and a 50 meg HD and at the time had one of the largest BBS's in central Florida. I kind a miss those days I guess. No internet just BBS's and fidonet for mail (-:

Finally someone ahead of the curve!
When HDTV is being traded like MP3's today, everyone will "NEED" not want one of these.
Good luck with your copyright laws.

had this comment,
Why the 2TB µcard Size Doesn't Matter
(via Gizmodo)
So the Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute is rolling out a new type of flash memory card called "µcard" ("microcard," one would assume), to be unveiled formally at the Taipei International Electronics Show in October. And while everyone is getting their panties in a bunch about the 2-terabyte capacity, it should be noted that other existing flash memory formats, specifically Sony's Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Duo already support cards in sizes up to 2-terabyte. It all has to do with the addressing and just because someone can support that doesn't mean they will.
What is interesting about the new format, though, is its bandwidth. With a projected speed of 120MB per second (compared to Memory Stick Pro's 20MB per second, for instance) the new card format may not be any bigger than other standards, but it should be able to be written to a lot faster. Only time will tell if anybody will start incorporating the new µcard format into their gadgetry, however.

so if you have a 2 TB card, at usb 2.0.... that'd take a little while to transfer to your new 10TB drive on the pc :) i would imagine instead you'd just work directly with the files on the card :)

Yeah! And if I remeber correct, head of the IBM stated sometimes in the 70's that "there will be global markets for about 2 or 3 personal computers" ;D. Hehehe!

"capacity of the card has the potential to reach 2 Terabytes"
That's a little different than 2TB card being available next year. :-) |

Yup - it is just the addressable space. There isn't a technology node in existance that would let you pack that density in to an SD card. But the new controller specifications have room for potential growth. HD quality video is a clear area where large capacity drives have obvious usage.
There is actually a 1 terabyte harddrive available now - though internally it is four 250GB drives, interleaved through a shared controller. Form factor is in the 5 1/4 drive bay size though (or larger - never actually seen it, other than in pictures). Current cost is about $1 per Gb.
Certainly with 22Mp, 16 bit cameras already available (generating a 132Mb file per shot) 1 Gb cards suddenly don't look very big and sizes will ramp as technology is further minimised. The 1Gb cards are already a whole lot cheaper than they started out at.
