SanDisk and Sony recently announced that they were teaming up to develop the SxS memory card specification, which is based on the ExpressCard industry standard. It will used for high-end digital camcorders, and will allow users to quickly and efficiently record high-quality videos. Both companies will use their combined knowledge and technologies to develop the SxS memory card, utilizing flash memory for instant access.

With the SxS memory card, you’ll be able to use max data transfer speeds of 2.5 gigbits per second, which is twice as fast as PC cards. In other words, this is perfect for recording HD video. As the picture shows, these will be available in at least a 16GB model, but we’re hoping they’ll have other size options available as well.
