"Barely a decade after releasing its first 512MB SD card, SanDisk has
unveiled a card capable of storing 512GB of digital material.

The Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I memory card can write at 90MB/s and read at
95MB/s; not the speediest if you need to shift half a terabyte in a hurry,
but enough it seems for recording 4K video straight to the card."

Pricy at the moment:

"The new card does, however, come at a heavy price. If you want one of
these in your camera – assuming it or anything else you have to hand can
support 512GB SD cards – it'll set you back almost $800 plus tax, and you
can get a couple of equivalent-sized SSDs for that kind of cash, albeit
with a substantial physical size difference."

And IIRC I get to pay a Big Content Tax of 30 cents per gig on this
type of media, so no thanks.
