That’s interesting, but it will be bottlenecked in 95% of the cases right now by the connecting hardware, right?
Well, I mean, hopefully the next generation of HW will get on the Express wagon now that there may be incentive.
Sounds good, but other metrics are also important, not just sequential reads. There could be some cool applications if price stays low and reliability is good enough for non-critical use. I’m always on the look for less pricy, high speed media storage. But readers would also have to be inexpensive in order to have multiple terabytes available of the stuff
They already make SD cards that can go 800MB/s but for the larger form factor and mostly used on DSLR cameras. The manufacturers will need to start implementing this new cards to our newest gadgets.
The cards that full frame cameras use to hit 800mbps are CF not SD. Functionally very similar, but you can’t just pop it in your laptop. You need an external reader. The nice thing about SD catching up to the CF spec is backwards compatibility. You can take your 800mbps SD Express and throw it in your laptop’s SD card slot and use it, even if it’s only at 100mbps because the laptop still uses an old SD version. No such luck with CF Express unless they can convince people to build CF ports into laptops and phones (though SD is just about dead in phones).
Yes pls.
