SanDisk’s new 64GB1 SanDisk Ultra SDXC card is ideal for capturing and storing massive 1080p HD video files and then transferring them quickly to a computer.

It has a 15MB/sec read speed and Class 4 speed rating and is based on the new SD 3.0 specification, which makes it possible to manufacture cards with storage capacity up to 2TB. The SDXC card’s exFAT file structure helps consumers record long-duration HD videos. The 64GB SanDisk Ultra SDXC card can store more than eight hours of such video.

Because the SD 3.0 specification is new, only a handful of devices currently support SDXC cards. However, the pace of new camera model introduction supporting the SDXC format is accelerating, claims SanDisk. Canon announced at CES that all of its new VIXIA camcorder models and PowerShot cameras are compatible with SDXC cards.

Adoption of SDXC is expected to occur across a range of consumer electronic products including HDTVs, Blu-ray recorders/players, camcorders, cameras, mobile phones, navigation systems and computers.

SanDisk ImageMate memory card readers are compatible with SDXC cards if the connected PC uses an operating system that supports exFAT.
