Compact Flash 5.0 Specification Breaches 144PB Capacity
The Compact Flash Organization [site] released their new 5.0 specification earlier today. It just blew the cap off the lid of storage limits. The current specification for Compact Flash is 137GBs…now that is 144 Petabytes, or PBs. Petabyte is a big number, and most people haven’t heard of it. Well, to break it down, a petabyte is [around] 150 million Gigabytes. Look around your house for some Blu-ray discs, that would equal six million blu-ray titles on one Compact Flash card. I guess that means no more RAID boxes, right? I mean, what’s better than solid state memory and storage the size of Texas?Tags: CF Duplicator, Compact Flash
