00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,000
The Humble secure digital or SD card

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:11,000
it's found its way into most of the digital cameras on the planet with their

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,960
small size High capacities and relatively low cost it's pretty easy to

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:20,080
see why virtually all point and shoot cameras any phones that have expandable

5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:24,880
storage and even many video cameras use

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,760
SD for storage but SD is not always the

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:32,680
right tool for the job and shooting super highres photos on a DSLR or

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,360
recording 4K video that takes up tons of

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:40,840
space requires flash memory with not just High capacities but also very high

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:45,440
speeds and while premium models exist low-end SD cards leave a lot to be

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,360
desired for high-end photo and video creative professionals but to understand

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:55,559
the new developments we need to derail this whole video for a moment and go

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,640
back to one of the earliest standards for camera memory compact flash if you

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:06,479
owned a dig cam as we used to call them in the uh late 1990s or early 2000s

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:13,000
there's a good chance that you remember those adorable rectangular Dees that

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,680
were thicker bigger and faster but more

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,320
expensive than SD but what you might not know is that although SD won the

18
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:24,159
mainstream flash War compact flash never

19
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:28,600
entirely disappeared which isn't to say that it's aged entirely gracefully

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:33,159
either so when designing a high-end SD card butt kicker the powers that b

21
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:38,560
borrowed but didn't entirely copy compact flash and gave us cast a

22
00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:43,880
standard that has been making its way into higher-end photographic equipment

23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:48,759
as the name implies cast's main advantage over SD and older compact

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:54,920
flash cards is that it actually uses the same Serial ATA bus that your PC uses

25
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:59,240
whereas original compact flash used a parallel ATA connection like the one in

26
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:05,520
your grandpa's computer that means that c cards can perform data transfers at up

27
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,280
to 600 megabytes per second just like a

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:12,760
high-end SSD making them ideal for 4K video and other bandwidth heavy

29
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:17,440
applications especially when you compare them to SD cards which currently top out

30
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,200
at less than half of that speed the cfast interface itself has also become

31
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:28,040
useful even if you don't want the cards because cfast uses the SATA bus it's

32
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:33,760
compatible with SATA ssds which one enterprising Kickstarter used as the

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,760
basic idea behind the c box an adapter that attaches to the cameras and

34
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,959
camcorder slots and then holds two ssds

35
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:45,440
connecting directly to seast so you can record 4K video directly to your SSD

36
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:52,000
drives without having to worry about space constraints and the horrendous

37
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,720
cost of the more compact flash memory

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,280
cards but hold on a second lonus should I really be buying all of these seafast

39
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:05,319
cards it sounds useful but what if it goes the way of betamax or the HD DVD

40
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:10,599
good question there's currently a small but intense format war going on in the

41
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,440
highend video scene between cfast and a

42
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:18,799
competing standard called xqd which uses the even faster PCI Express Bus and

43
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:24,480
Promises capacities of up to 2 terabytes on a single card and as if that weren't

44
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,440
enough SD and micro SD cards refus to go

45
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,760
gently into that good night with speed and capacity revisions showing up every

46
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:38,760
few years oh and I guess there's SATA ssds themselves as well that even some

47
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,640
cameras do use so no it isn't clear

48
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,760
which of these rival formats are going to end up dominating high-end

49
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,480
photography and video recording but at least whichever one wins we can sleep

50
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,799
comfortably knowing that the camera on the end of our next Generation selfie

51
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:59,400
stick is capturing every detail of our nose pores in glorious 4K glob Gro Gob

52
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,120
and glob bless technology and bless Mass

53
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:06,959
drop to mass drop is the site where you guys the community say hey we'd sure

54
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:11,799
like to get like a great deal on whatever it happens to be uh what if we

55
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,400
all pitched in to buy one could we get a discount and they go yeah they work

56
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:20,239
directly with manufacturers and Distributors to arrange for what is

57
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,560
essentially group buys and we've got a pretty interesting one here today it's

58
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,240
the ultimate ears 18 Pro custom inar monitors these are different from your

59
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,919
typical inar earphones basically you visit an

60
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,400
audiologist for ear Impressions you ship those Impressions to mass drop then

61
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,720
Ultimate Ears will manufacture what is essentially a tailormade pair of IMS

62
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,440
just for you sure they're still expensive even with a bunch of people

63
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,080
committing to buy them but you're going to get six balanced armature drivers two

64
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:58,759
high two mid to low and thanks to the molded fit a whopping minus 26 DB of

65
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:02,520
noise isolation and you can customize the covers on on them too so check out

66
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,520
the link in the video description if you want to learn more about this particular

67
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,720
drop and just to check out Mass drop in general because they've got a whack ton

68
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:17,400
of cool stuff everything from like knives to keyboards to well high-end

69
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,680
audio equipment just like this so I

70
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,919
guess that's pretty much it guys like the video if you liked it dislike it if you thought it suck leave a comment if

71
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,720
you have suggestions for future fast as possible just like this one and check

72
00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:34,600
out our Channel Super Fun Channel where we've actually got a pretty slick video

73
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:37,080
that just went up I forget what it was

74
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:41,360
right yeah rubber band machine gun check that out with the little ey in the top

75
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:46,680
right corner I'm going to have a card there for you see you later
