What are transfer rates like these days, are cards fast enough?

Someone replied to me saying PS4 has like 27m and SD has a max of about 60m or something like that while SD can hold 64gb and PS4 50gb

That was just a quick random example. There are consumer level SSDs with read speeds of 500+ MBs. How far Nintendo is willing to go with these technologies depends on what they want to do and how much they want to invest. Whatever solution they use is probably going to be propietary, so they don't have to adhere to any industry standard.
