Here's a challenge: do you reckon you can fill half-a-terabyte of memory using only a smartphone?

For some people, we're sure, the answer will be along the lines of “hold my beer while I set my camera to HDR mode and snap some selfies”. So the good news is that from February, you'll be able to lay out the readies on a 512 GB microSDXC card from Integral Memory.

At a transfer rate of 80 megabytes per second, you'd need more than an hour and a half to transfer a full card's worth of data; last year's 400 GB monster from SanDisk (no longer the world's biggest little memory card) still has the edge there, claiming a 100 MB/second transfer rate.

Integral's 512GB microSDXC V10, UHS-I U1 card is fast enough to meet V10 (Video speed class 10) for capturing full HD video.

Integral has put up a web page and a Spec sheet (pdf) for it.

Now we can set them up as media hubs for all.

    At 624 MB/s it will still take 28 hours to read a 64TB disk. 18 days for 1PB.

    I think they are going to need to do some sort of multiple serial buses in parallel thing, which is going to mean a whole new standard.
    Maybe something like a miniturised old fashioned parallel port, but with each pin acting as an individual high speed serial link.

    That said, I can still see a use for these cards, in that you could load your entire media/audio/book libraries on one and have everything available all the time.

    Again, 624 MB/s is the *current maximum* in the standard. It is likely to increase in future iterations of the standard, although the speeds will lag behind high performance SSDs.
