Memory specialist SanDisk has created an SD card
with 512 gigabytes (512GB) of storage space -
the highest capacity ever released.

Cloud worries

"People just feel more in control and more able to
rely on being able to access the content when they
literally know where it is.
"Storing in the cloud means you literally don't
know where it is."
Mr Delaney added that recent high-profile security
issues around cloud storage - such as the
celebrity picture leak last week - would play on the
minds of consumers.

I don't patronize Cloud Storage systems due to security fears.

Experts
The new card is aimed at film-makers shooting in
the high-quality 4K format.
The 4K format - which is four times the resolution
of HD - requires large file storage. Depending on
compression, a single minute of 4K shooting will
typically take around 5GB of storage space.
"4K Ultra HD is an example of a technology that is
pushing us to develop new storage solutions
capable of handling massive file sizes,"

I was about asking of what benefits such SD card will be to common users like me until I saw the above. Even with the analysis given in the write up, those film makers will likely need a larger SD card lik 2TB.

Wake me up when it can work on a smartphone

This will be good for shooting season film without copying on the system at all.
