sdxc_64gbTo those with HD camcorders that record to SD cards, prepare to rejoice. SanDisk has announced it is now shipping its new line of SD media cards, the Ultra SDXC, complete with 64 gigabytes of storage capacity. The new XC line of SD cards, which is said to be able to grow to 2 TB — yes, terabytes — of storage, boasts a 15 MB/sec throughput rate and can store up to 9 hours of HD video. SanDisk’s SDXC cards are based on the SD 3.0 specifications for maximum compatibility, and use the exFAT file system. Canon has already publicly said that all of its future VIXIA camcorders and PowerShot cameras will be compatible with the newer, more potent XC cards. We have SanDisk’s official press release queued up for you after the break.

    You should probably mention how much it costs somewhere in the article.

    • Scott

      $349.99

        I already knew what the price was. My point is that the price of the card is a huge part of the story that BGR neglected to mention.

    • The9MakeEmDonaldDuck

  • Mark

    Looking forward to the 32GB MicroSDs. 16GB can’t fit all my music and photos :/

    • Connor

      Me too. And i really can’t wait for a 64Gb MicroSD.

  • Tdot34

    Sweet! Just need that Micro SD so I can stick one in my BlackBerry !

  • 1700mhz_LTE

    I hope this mean a 32gb micro sd card is around the corner.. I need for when google allows apps to sd, and music..

    • Connor

      I hope it is too.

  • Kahn Fused

    I thought the speed of the card was indicated by what “class” the SD card is – this one says class 4 (the 4 in the C) which probably isn’t fast enough for HD video.

  • Mark

    Actually class 4 is plenty fast for 24mbps HD video which is great quality and on the high end for consumer camcorders now.

  • Kahn Fused

    class 6 is recommended for HD video but regardless, the 15MBs claim in the article does not match the class 4 designation (which is 4MBs)

  • mcchris

    maybe there is a new definition of class’s with this new card technology

  • AriGold

    2 TB ?

    Nice !

  • DaHarder

    Could this mean that affordable 32gb micro-SDHC cards are on the horizon?

    I sure hope so.

    That is so funny because our hard disk has only 40 GB and that SD card has 64GB. Is there any way that we can exchange the Hard disk into SD for my computer? Hopefully someone will invent that kind of computer doesn’t need for a hard disk.
