Read about it here. Yep, that's 512 gigabytes :jawdrop. 90 MB/sec transfer speed, 800 $US. Meant for video, I assume--my entire photo archive is only around 250 GB. They also have some new 256 and 128 GB models.
My photo archive is in the 4+ TB range now but this is still well beyond anything I need. BUT I have a friend who shot a recent show at 4k and with the file sizes he talked about this would definitely be nice.
Somewhere I saw a link for Sandisk or Lexar marketing a 1 Tb portable USB 3 ( and/or Thunderrbolt 2 ) bus powered external SSDs, but I can't find the link right now. I am still looking. I did find Transcend external SSD up to 1 Tb portable USB 3.0 external SSDs here - http://www.photographyblog.com/news/transcend_1tb_esd400_portable_ssd/
That link was dated June 20, 2014, so where is Lexar and Sandisk?
We've got a ways to go....a TB is only ~21k 24 MP RAW images.
Capacity has increased by about three orders of magnitude in the past ten years. It would only take one to approximate current high-end shutter life, though presumably that too will improve. OK, so maybe you'll need two cards, but you'd want that in any event .
I still use 32 Gb cards more often that any other size. Big enough, but not too big, and the price is reasonable these days now. But I am shooting stills, the video folks will be all over the fast, very large cards.

I think I saw it somewhere in a link about Photokina, and Lexar's Thunderbolt card readers that I have been interested in - http://www.lexar.com/workflow?category=203
