More sensible scientists balked at such a perversion of modern physics, partly because their Vaio P would never recognize it, but mainly because they were never invited to Sony's mixers.
People, there are no 2TB Memory Sticks coming out any time soon. Sony is releasing the spec that allows for a theoretical max of 2TB, just like the spec for SDXC with a theoretical max of 2TB was released months ago. It will be years before that max is reached.
Update: There seems to be some confusion amongst the Internet about this story. A 2 TB maximum capacity doesn’t mean that you will see a 2 TB Memory Stick XC next year. That is probably years away – however, it does open the door for 64GB, 128GB, etc; a natural progression to the 2 TB limit is to be expected.
Having 2TB in that insanely small package would be insanely nice for expanding the space on my laptop, too bad it would probably quintuple the price of my entire laptop...
Can this even be real? 2TB is pretty much the current upper limit on even the largest hard drives. Hell, the biggest flash ssd drive I've seen thus far is only 1TB and it's ungodly expensive.
@MikeSWelch: It does strain believability to think they could, in one fell swoop, jump by a factor of more than 30 times the next largest "state-of-the-art" 64GB flash device. I mean, what's incredible isn't so much that it could be done, but that it was done by Sony...
So what does it mean that it has hit a capacity (64GB) which is above the highest end of the SDHC spec (32GB). Does this mean that adapters capable of reading SDHC may or may not be able to read the 64GB card?
@Purple Monkey Dishwasher: I can't verify for sure (site's down!) but if I remember correctly, SDXC is electrically backwards compatible with SDHC and SD controllers. Firmware upgrades should be able to talk to SDXC on devices like cell phones and cameras, but things like card readers that typically have read-only firmware can't.
