World's highest capacity SDXC card: SanDisk Extreme PRO 512GB

[kandinsky]

Whoah. Larger than the HDD on my MBP...haha. Yours for US$729 (approx S$920). Nice to have the space at your disposal if you really need it (especially the 4K and BMPCC raw shooters), but feels pretty damn risky to have it all on one very expensive tiny card. Imagine if it kenna corrupted

They should have a partition option for a single card. Extra backup :bsmilie:

If only there is a way to transfer the raw data directly from the BMPCC to a laptop it wouldn't be such a scary thought. I really hate always having to take the SD Card out just to transfer the data.

BTW, while on site are there any portable device that I can back up directly from the SD Card (I know we'd still have to take the card out of the BMPCC). Assuming I do not carry a laptop with me?

I would buy it for my macbook air 11" except the damn thing doesn't even have an SD slot. WTF Apple!!!

The MBA is my field recorder/vectorscope. Convenient but capacity sucks.

Recently read about a Western Digital portable HDD with built-in SD card slot, sounds interesting:

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1330

Western Digital has launched a new wireless-enabled hard drive that uniquely features a built-in SD card reader. The My Passport Wireless might be coming to the market after other wireless options like the LaCie Fuel drive, but it’s the inclusion of the SD card reader that makes this product of particular interest to photographers.

When a memory card is inserted into the drive it can be set back up your photos or automatically ingest all images, then wipe the card clean afterwards. To view your images you can either connect the drive to a computer using USB3, or you can connect to it wirelessly using the free WD My Cloud mobile app. For photographers looking to travel light, this could be an excellent way to manage your photos on the road without needing to bring a laptop.

The drive runs on an internal battery that reportedly provides 6 hours of video streaming and up to 20 hours of standby time and also features FTP functionality to allow wireless-enabled cameras to send photos directly to the drive whilst shooting. If you are working with a team of photographers and editors, up to 8 people can connect to the drive simultaneously to access the content.

The My Passport Wireless drive will be available in late September, priced at $129.99 for 500GB, $179.99 for 1 TB and $219.99 for 2 TB. The supporting WD My Cloud mobile app is available for free from the iOS App Store and the Google Play store.

@kandinsky, Thanks for the info. Just what I needed. Amazon is taking pre-orders for the 1 & 2 TB version. Will be released on 21 Sep. Everything is slowly falling into place. I just hope I will not be so lucky that the WD gets corrupted before I reach home to backup the content since one would normally set it to auto delete the SD Card once it has finished transferring the data.

Coming back to the 512GB SD Card, which will be more frustrating - Corrupted card after a shoot or losing the small SD Card after a shoot ???

I must have forgotten to bring along my optimism when I left for office this morning

Wow, $920 is too much for me for a SD card ... I cannot afford ...
