SDXC Memory Cards

What is an SDXC card, and what does it do? The older format was the SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity) cards or flash memory cards with a minimum capacity of 4GB (gigabytes). There are now flash memory cards up to 64GB with the promise of more. SDXC cards provide removable memory for digital devices like cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players etc. Secure Digital is a specific format within the flash card market. SDXC cards are used for products designed exclusively to support previous SD specifications.

Another type of SDXC card is the Microi SDXC card. A tiny card about the size of your pinky fingernail, with the ability of storage of 2 Terabytes (2000 GB). I use the Micro SDHC 32GB card on my netbook with a tiny little USB Micro SDHC card reader. I have a Sandisk Micro SDHC reader, however there are many shapes and sizes available, mine is pretty small, but there are smaller.

The next-generation SDXC memory card increasingly improves the digital lifestyle by increasing storage capacity from more than 32 GB up to 2 TB. It also increases the bus interface speed up to 104 MB per second currently, with a hopeful 300 MB per second. SDXC's immense capacity will provide more portable storage and speed, which are often necessary to support new features in electronic devices, notebook computers, and mobile phones.

A 2 TB SDXC memory card could store up to 100 HD movies or 480 hours of HD recording or over 100,000 fine-grade photos. Faster bus speeds will allow professional recording to smaller camcorders and increase the number of frames shot per second with SDXC cameras.

The memory card is changing the world of electronics drastically. Making electronics smaller, more capable, higher definition, and more portable.
