It seems that barely a week goes past without someone inventing a new flash memory format.. MicroSD.. Memory Stick Duo Pro… Super Magic Swan Stick #27

But this new one from the Sony/Sandisk team might actually be worthwhile. Aimed at Camcorder users the SxS format offers high speed and large sizes. Starting at 16GB the card uses PCI-Express for high data transfer speeds. And Memory sizes are expected to get bigger and bigger and bigger

High-speed data transfer of large video files. SxS™ memory cards are the first native PCI Express™ solid-state storage media1. PCI Express™ has a maximum data transfer speed of 2.5 gigabits per second, twice as fast as PC Card™-based storage media. In addition, SanDisk and Sony have optimized the technology protocol for controlling communication between hardware and SxS™ memory cards to enable high-speed transfer of large files, such as high-definition video, to PCs for non-linear video-editing. The target transfer speed of SxS™ memory cards is 800 megabits per second.
