SanDisk, Nikon and Sony have come together to develop a set of specifications for next-generation storage cards that will fulfill video and photographers’ needs. The new standard will allow memory cards to store huge amount of data and also process larger files quickly, which is a must for today’s high-end cameras and camcorders.

The proposed specs, which if standardized by the CompactFlash Association (CFA), will help memory cards to achieve data transfer rates to up to 500MB/s using the PCI Express interface. The new specification will also theoretically expand the card storage to up to 2TB and allow continuous shooting of massive RAW images while consuming very low power.
