Do you think that SD cards could replace a DVD or CD in the future?

All you would have 2 so would insert ur sd movie or song library card in a portable media player n there u go . BUt still there might be no sd cards because it might me no removeable n it just saves it on a mini , portable hard drive.

It's possible, but much like the cd replacing the floppy, it'll take a while for the market to be saturated enough that you can get rid of the former technology. If I send you an SD card in the mail, you may not have a reader built in and may have to get an external one (with USB technology, of course, this isn't very expensive as compared to external dvd/cd drives).





Another issue will be the fact that the media itself is more expensive. You can buy a spindle of 100 CDs and give copies of pictures to all your friends (I've done this a few times), but buying them each an SD card is cost prohibitive. So perhaps the cards will be good for personal back ups, but not for distribution.





One final note, we're not quite sure yet what the lifespan is on solid-state media. That's why in large companies where backups matter, they're still using tape drives. SD cards and other media cards will not see corporate exposure for a long time. (Unless maybe there's a problem discovered with USB drives where they corrupt your data after 5 years or something, then perhaps it'll shift for day to day business stuff.)
Reply:no way, DVD's are going into BlueRay and HD formats these day's and in the future CD's are going to be useless as flash drives and DVD's take over.
