ping 2 terabytes of data. Designed to dramatically improve life for users of high-definition camcorders, portable music devices, mobile phones and digital cameras, the SDXC standard also accelerates read\/write speeds to 104MB per second this year, eventually expected to be as high as 300MB per second. According to an SD Association spokesperson, a 2TB card could hold 100 HD movies, or 17,000 high-resolution still images.

\nSDXC SIGNALS NEW GENERATION OF REMOVABLE MEMORY
\nWITH UP TO 2 TERABYTES OF STORAGE <\/b><\/p>\n
SDXC Memory Cards Provide Consumers with Massive Storage,
\nIncredible Speed in Familiar, De Facto Standard <\/i>
\n
\nLAS VEGAS \u2013 The next-generation SDXC
\n(eXtended Capacity) memory card specification, announced today at the 2009
\nInternational CES, dramatically improves consumers\u2019 digital lifestyles by providing the
\nportable storage and speed needed to store weeks of high-definition video, years of
\nphoto collections and months of music to mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, and
\nother consumer electronic devices. The new SDXC specification provides up to 2
\nterabytes storage capacity and accelerates SD interface read\/write speeds to 104
\nmegabytes per second this year, with a road map to 300 megabytes per second.
\n
\nThe SDXC specification, developed by the SD Association, leapfrogs memory card
\ninterface speeds while retaining the world-leading SD interface. Specifications for the
\nopen standard will be released in the first quarter of 2009. SDHC, Embedded SD and
\nSDIO specifications will also benefit from the new SD interface speeds.
\n
\n\u201cSDXC combines a higher capacity roadmap with faster transfer speeds as a means to
\nexploit NAND flash memory technology as a compelling choice for portable memory
\nstorage and interoperability,\u201d said Joseph Unsworth, research director, NAND Flash
\nSemiconductors, at Gartner. \u201cWith industry support, SDXC presents manufacturers with
\nthe opportunity to kindle consumer demand for more advanced handset features and
\nfunctionality in consumer electronics behind the ubiquitous SD interface.\u201d
\n
\nTurning mobile phones into media centers
\nSDXC allows users to enjoy more from their mobile phones. Larger capacity and faster
\ntransfer speeds allow for expanded entertainment and data storage. A 2TB SDXC
\nmemory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade
\nphotos.
\n
\n\u201cWith SDXC, consumers can quickly download higher quality content to their phones,
\nincluding games, video and music \u2013 giving consumers a richer media and content
\nexperience,\u201d said James Taylor, president of the SD Association. \u201cThe SD interface
\nalready has proven itself valuable in mobile phones. Now, SDXC memory card
\ncapabilities will spur further handset sophistication and boost consumer content
\ndemand.\u201d
\n
\nShooting pictures at the speed of life
\nSDXC is also the first memory card specification to provide 2TB storage without
\nhindering the high-speed performance necessary for high-end photography. It will
\nprovide maximum speeds even when the SDXC specification achieves its maximum 2TB
\nstorage capacity.
\n
<\/p>\n
“SDXC is a large-capacity card that can store more than 4,000 RAW images, which is the
\nuncompressed mode professionals use, and 17,000 of the fine-mode most consumers
\nuse. That capacity, combined with the exFAT file system, increases movie recording time
\nand reduces starting time to improve photo-capturing opportunities,\u201d said Shigeto
\nKanda, general manager at Canon. \u201cImprovements in interface speed allow further
\nincreases in continuous shooting speed and higher resolution movie recordings. As a
\nmemory card well suited to small-sized user-friendly digital cameras, the SDXC
\nspecification will help consumers realize the full potential of our cameras.”
\n
\nSDXC will enable camcorders to provide longer, professional level HD video recording
\nwith a small form factor.
\n
\nThe SDXC specification uses Microsoft\u2019s exFAT file system to support its large capacity
\nand interoperability in a broad range of PCs, consumer electronics and mobile phones.
\nThe exFAT system was designed for increased compatibility with flash media, from
\nportability of data to interoperability with multiple platforms and devices on removable
\nmedia.
\n
\n\u201cThe SD Association is committed to answering and anticipating consumer demand for
\neasy-to-use memory card storage that is interoperable in any device with a matching SD
\nslot,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThe SDXC card gives consumers a new, yet familiar, high-
\nperformance card that will be used in hundreds of manufacturers\u2019 device offerings.\u201d

\nSD Association
\nThe SD Association is a global ecosystem of more than 1,100 technology companies
\ncharged with setting interoperable SD standards. The association encourages the
\ndevelopment of consumer electronic, wireless communication, digital imaging and
\nnetworking products that utilize market-leading SD technology. The SD standard is the
\nnumber one choice for consumers and has earned nearly 80 percent of the memory card
\nmarket with its reliable interoperability and its easy-to-use format. Today, mobile
\nphones, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, audio players, automotive multimedia systems,
\nhandheld PCs, cameras and camcorders feature SD interoperability.
