100GB CompactFlash card from Pretec

Posted by: Dennis Hissink Saturday 7th, March 2009

Pretec, known to always be around at every consumer electronics show, brought a collection of obscure memory cards along, among which is a 100GB CompactFlash type II memory card.

Formatting was not the problem; however, the Nikon D3x camera doesn't like it at all. On its display, everything that is not supposed to blink, is blinking and I decide that this card will have to go without the D3x.

Lately, the resolution of digital SLR cameras has increased considerably with 24 megapixels. This has a direct effect on the file size of the pictures. In addition, the integration of video availability in the DSLR camera generates more data to store on a memory card than just pictures. The storage capacity of a flash memory card has significantly increased with 64GB; in addition, the development of the SDXC card will provide us with sufficient storage capacity. The roadmap shows a 2TB SXDC card. Besides flash memory, the hard disk continues to play a big role in the digital workflow. The PMA 2010 show provides an overview of various hard disk solutions with several unique solutions. Flash memory continues to innovate, and will thus have an even more important role in our work environment.
