Toshiba unveils fastest 8GB SHDC

Toshiba has announced what may be the world’s second 8GB SDHC memory card. Alas, Pretec announced just such a product back in September, but Toshiba’s card is faster. It’s a Class 4 device – Pretec’s was a Class 2.

I love large SD cards, but you’d have to be a hardcore shooter in order to want to pay 4x as much just to have double storage over a 4GB card. Not to mention that 4GB 150x cards are far faster than SDHC to begin with, even at Class 4. What I am curious about is when SD cards will actually “max out”. It’s not like these cards are getting physically larger, or are even able to.
