The CompactFlash Association (CFA) has released the specifications for a new high-performance memory card format called XQA. Smaller than CompactFlash, XQA memory cards promise durability, robustness and actual write speeds of at least 125 megabytes per second. XQD cards will be shown at the CompactFlash Association booth at CP+ 2012, February 9-12 in Yokohama, Japan.
