SD 2.0 standard introduced
Posted on Jun 12, 06 10:51 PM PDT
Looks like the most popular flash memory standard, the SD Card format, will undergo an evolution in Q3 2006. SD 2.0 offers FAT32 formatting as well as a maximum capacity of 32GB - all this sounds fine and dandy until we found out that sizes of 4GB and above are not compatible with existing SD 1.0/1.1 standards. Any SD card that are 4GB and above in capacity will be dubbed SD High Capacity (SDHC), although the transfer rates of the new format maxes out at a paltry 6MB/s. This means SDHC card prices should begin to drop soon, with the 4GB version available for less than £150 currently. Looks like consumers are being led by the nose again when it comes to compatibility issues and new formats.
