Elgato reveals its 4K60 S+, an external 4K HDR capture card that doesn't need a PC -

Pretty cool but the SD card would fill up extremely quick no? If you were recording for hours you'd need a very large SD card.

I think you can get 512GB SD cards for under £75 now, and that should last for a while. The same problem applies to SSDs on proper PCs.
 
True but you'd have to take it out, put it in a PC, take the data off to render it for YT content, put it back in Elgato, repeat. Mine as well just use a PC with a cheap massive hard drive

Yeah, but you can take this with you to places where your PC can't go. That's the main reason to go external. It also removes a lot of the setup process, as it is all there and should "just work".

It's an expensive device and will have a niche audience. Some people will find the lack of PC requirements handy.
