That's interesting, but it will be bottlenecked in 95% of the cases right now by the connecting hardware, right?

Yeah, it can't even use the higher speeds offered by uhs2/3 since the additional contacts are pcie, instead of the uhs2/3 design. They'll fall back to uhs1/v90 speeds which are like 10% of the max rated output for the card.
Sounds very much like it.
How is the write endurance? IOPS? It seems like no articles are talking about that.
They're like £30 for 256GB. Endurance will be shit, but when it fucks up you just get another.
not a huge issue on a dual slot camera, but cheap or not a single slot camera endurance does matter more than just the cost
They already make SD cards that can go 800MB/s but for the larger form factor and mostly used on DSLR cameras. The manufacturers will need to start implementing this new cards to our newest gadgets.
The cards that full frame cameras use to hit 800mbps are CF not SD. Functionally very similar, but you can't just pop it in your laptop. You need an external reader. The nice thing about SD catching up to the CF spec is backwards compatibility. You can take your 800mbps SD Express and throw it in your laptop's SD card slot and use it, even if it's only at 100mbps because the laptop still uses an old SD version. No such luck with CF Express unless they can convince people to build CF ports into laptops and phones (though SD is just about dead in phones).
Ya, you're right. It's a CFexpress card.
I still have some old CF cards; 8MB and 16MB. Lol, 2 photos max, these days
So does that mean they'll start putting SD slots on their phones again?
Digital cameras need this kind of speed to dump larger and larger RAW images, especially with things like burst mode. No one cares about your Steam Deck lol.
RAW video fills up a card pretty fast.
Sounds good, but other metrics are also important, not just sequential reads. There could be some cool applications if price stays low and reliability is good enough for non-critical use. I'm always on the look for less pricy, high speed media storage. But readers would also have to be inexpensive in order to have multiple terabytes available of the stuff
Well, I mean, hopefully the next generation of HW will get on the Express wagon now that there may be incentive.
Great! Now I can add more fast storage to my Samsung Phone that I bought during the past 4 years...oh wait
Yes pls.
