SanDisk and Sony Release A Ridiclous 2TB Memory Stick
We’re hearing from the grapevine that the data geeks at the super-secret underground research laboratory have discovered how to cram two full terabytes of memory onto a single Memory Stick. This is fantastic news. Sony and SanDisk together will develop the first prototype of the new, ultra-dense Stick.
Whatever they cook up, the initial release will come in as a new release for the Memory Stick PRO. Larger formats for the Memory Stick Series are included in the mix.
Current technology oversees PRO memory sticks that hold only 32 or 64 GB of data. That’s a paltry bunch of nooks and crannies compared to the cavernous, gaping caves of storage found in the singularity -sized terabyte sticks that are glimpsed, spectrally, on the horizon.
Besides that, the hardware itself should be essentially unchanged; pin-count is the same, transfer speeds won’t change, etc. Also, the fresh stuff will still support MagicGate and Access Control Function.
Word from the street is that there’s a Sony and SanDisk drop looming that involves a brand-new format, calling itself the Memory Stick HG Micro. We hear of transfer speeds of up to 60 megabytes per second. That’s a ton of information in the blink of an eye. We’ve got an ear to the ground as more of this fascinating stuff drops. Stay tuned.
