SD cards are not a substitute for HDD. Currently. Data transfer rates for standard Class 10 SD cards are about 10MB/s compared to the current average 2.5" HDD of 100-200 MB/s. Faster SD formats (UHS-1/UHS-2 compliant) are of limited availability (UHS-2 under development) and quite expensive. Current UHS-1 cards top out at about 45 MB/s at a cost of about $150 (low) for a 32GB card. This is not to say that Project Cafe will even support UHS-1/2 compliant SD format cards. |
What are you talking about? You can get a 64GB SDXC card with a transfer speed of 15MB/s for $113 or a 64MB SDXC card @ 25MB/s for $144 right now? UHS-1 will run you more yeah (about $220-ish) but that's for 64GB @ 60MB/s. A year from now or whenever Cafe hits, they'll have larger size capacities and faster transfer speeds for less money... SD a year from will make more sense for a 360-plus level system.
