Pretec has FC 24GB and I know 32GB is on the way.
The only problem for now is the price. The 24GB runs around $1000. However it will go down in the future.

On another thread, I read that all currently available CF cards above 8 GB use a type of high density but slower chip, which cannot sustain the write speed required for Red use (much faster than what is needed for DSLR cameras, the more common use for CF cards). There is a faster technology on the horizon but it's two years out. Of course, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

If the 24GB card is $1000, you're still better off buying five 8GB cards, both financially and from a DATA protection standpoint. Having said that, if the price comes down, I would love to have 16GB or better yet 32GB cards as it's more viable for certain styles of shooting.

i could live forever with 16GB cards....

Yes these cards need to be tested. Once I will have the chance (Red + a card) I will do that. I have already spoke with Pretec representative and asked for a card for test

I would love a 24gig card. It is your 1000' mag equivalent.
