SanDisk Shows Off World's First 400 GB MicroSD Card


SanDisk has broken all records by announcing a new microSD that can store almost 400GB of data and it is tiny as f**k. The new 400GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card is the world's highest capacity storage card and will be used as a peripheral for Android Devices.ย

Android's Oreo version allows users to use a microSD card as native internal storage which will allow users to install apps, store photos and audio. The new version will enable the microSD to be used as if you were using a built-in flash memory drive. Now you might be wondering this might not be impressive, but let us point out that this is three times the amount of storage that comes with an entry-level MacBook Pro. You can store more content on this fingernail-sized card than most entry-level laptops.

Previously, the world's largest microSD card could only store 256GB of data which is roughly half the size of this powerhouse. It has taken SanDisk only two years to develop a card that is almost double the size and can store up to 2 lakh HDR photos.ย

ย The speed appears to come with a tradeoff. SanDisk trumpets its A1 speed rating, saying: โ€œRated A1, the SanDisk Ultraยฎ microSD card is optimised for apps, delivering faster app launch and performance that provides a better smartphone experience.โ€Being a brand new product, you can store up to 40 hours worth of 1080p video content and the card doesn't cost an astronomical amount either. The mircoSD costs $250 (INR 16,000) and comes with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty. If you are planning to buy the Galaxy Note 8, this card will be its best friend.ย
