This is somewhat interesting... but begs the question: It almost makes sense at this point to just integrate an SSD into the camera in some way. The read/write speeds of SSD's has gone around 5 times faster than this new card, and SSD's are going to be dropping in price (though, in comparison to that CF card, they are identical or in fact cheaper as is). This is also a more ideal application for a SSD than as a main HD for a computer, since you don't have to worry so much about read/write cycles, being that the disk isn't constantly being written to. Plus then you could directly interface the drive with your computer and transfer via a SATAII interface and bypass that huge bottleneck, so that you don't have to wait so long for the transfer.
Interesting nonetheless, thanks for the link. |
