SAN RAMON, CALIF— May 19, 2020 — The SD Association announced today the SD 8.0 Specification for SD Express memory cards receives even faster transfer speeds by using the popular PCI Express® (PCIe®) 4.0 specification delivering a maximum of nearly 4 gigabytes per second (GB/s) data transfer rate. These full sized cards continue to use the NVMe Express™ (NVMe™) upper layer protocol enabling advanced memory access mechanism. As always SD Express memory cards using SD 8.0 specification maintain backward compatibility

This is going to be interesting how they fit this into mSD card.

This is a massive improvement, now we wait for electronics device manufacturers to not implement it.

That seems amazingly fast for SD cards, unless all the SD cards I have been using are cheap pieces of crap? This must be a huge generational leap, no?
