Compact Flash 5.0 will be able to meet the need some time to come. 
Compact Flash Association announced this week that the CF5.0 specification has been approved. This builds on work that CF5.0 working group has carried out since it was established in November 2008.
The current version of the Compact Flash standard, CF4.1, does not support more than 137 gigabytes of storage. There is already short with 128 gigabytes of storage, so the limitation is no longer merely theoretical.
CF5.0 specification using 48 bit addressing, which will move the limit up to 144 petabytes (1015 bytes). At the same time transmission of data be made more effective by the unit size of the transfer is increased from the current 128 kg bytes to 32 megabytes.
The new version will also be able to clean up unused storage space more efficiently, and exploit the improvements that have come in ATA-6 and ATA-8/ACS-2-specifications.
It will however not be required to provide support for a separate framework for performance control, or a guarantee of video performance, which means that it ensured that the video recording is done without loss of frames. But both are supported by the new specification.
