Ready For 167 MBPS, 2TB Memory Card?

The CompactFlash association has published CF6.0 specifications, three companies are gearing up for the future. Sony, Nikon & Sandisk have proposed a new memory card format that switches from PATA to the PCI Express serial interface to achieve data transfer rates of up to 500 MBps! These cards will have storage capacity of 2TB. According to the new proposed specifications, the digital SLRs will be able to capture very high quality, raw images and even higher definition videos. The CF has already formed a group to work on the new specifications.

Canon's Shigeto Kanda, CFA chairman of the board, had this to say about the proposal:
<blockquote>
<div>Future professional photography and video applications will require memory cards with faster read/write speeds. The development of a new high-performance card standard with a serial interface will meet the needs of the professional imaging industry for years to come and open the door for exciting new applications.</div></blockquote>
I see that in future, we'll eliminate the need of hard-disks. We are stepping faster towards it.
