Biggest cf or microdrive?

I was just curious what is the biggest cf card or microdrive out on the market today? I searched and saw that thread for the 6 gig microdrive that dell is offering. Anything bigger?
Thanks,
ralleyclimber :)

LOL, i think he means commercially available, But really, the sky is the limit for sd/cf cards, there is unlimited possibility for solid state memory. in around 10 years we will be beyond hard drives i believe, becuase there is a limit for disk memory, but not for solid state memory, and thats really off topic!
sorry, but the 6gb microdrive is pretty much the biggest your gunna get for a little while, but there will be 8 and 10 gb microdrives coming along in a few months, or maybe next year.

I have the Hitachi 6GB microdrive and have so far been extremely pleased with it. it is not as big a battery hog as others would have you believe and is also more durable than you'd think.

I like it.:approve:

The 8 and 12GB cards are geared towards professional photographers.

even if they are geared towards photographers, why wouldnt you just buy three or four 4gb CF cards... I mean, switching them out every *400* 8Megapixel pictures is worth the thousands of dollars saved to me.
