Quote:Could the MemoryStick become relevant again? While Toshiba readies its 64GB SDXC cards, Sony is prepping its very likely backwards-compatible 2TB Memory Stick XC. The implications for devices like netbooks and SSDs could be huge.
Toshiba's SDXC and Sony's MSXC both have claimed maximum transfer speeds of up to 60 megabytes per second, but the latter's 2TB capacityâdeveloped with the help of SanDiskâis just crazy. The biggest Memory Stick PRO is 32GB. And while the PRO series uses the FAT12/16/32 file system, we now know the XC range will use the more efficient exFAT

Solid state memory is the race right now i'm eagerly waiting the capcity to go up and price to go down.
Dieing to buy a good SSD.
Those look like a huge step forward in capacity, wonder what kind of write and read speads can be acheived though, without that it's useless tech.
And wtf at sony coming out the gate first with 2tb.
Mental.

If they can make a 2TB memory stick imagine what they could use for a hard drive.
Re: 2TB Memory Stick (HOLY SHIT) - sTr - 08-05-2009
stack like 20 of those bitches in a pci express chip, and fuck yeah...
Re: 2TB Memory Stick (HOLY SHIT) - Paullehh - 08-05-2009
Yep 16tb hdd's with deadly fast speeds would be nice.
still 1tb mechanical HDD's for storage for me till they sort this whole SSD shit out.
Sata II will be much more than fast enough, and for some reason sata 3 is about to drop.
you can't boot from pci-e btw, and me needs room there for huge graphics cards :P
Re: 2TB Memory Stick (HOLY SHIT) - sTr - 08-05-2009
word @ not booting from pci-e(yet), but the point would be have a small safe drive to store OS, then the pci-e for mad storage....
Re: 2TB Memory Stick (HOLY SHIT) - Paullehh - 08-05-2009
I just want to boot and have my games/aps installed into a mad fast SSD.
More for storage would be sick too though.
