SanDisk introduced world’s largest capacity microSD card at IFA. The novelty, added to the line of SanDisk Ultra, is capable of storing 400 GB. The 400GB card can store 40 hours of Full HD video content, and The file transfer speed of reading on the map of the 10th class can reach 100 MB/s.
SanDisk, owned by Western Digital, hasn’t revealed details beyond stating that the capacity breakthrough was the result of WD “leveraging its proprietary memory technology and design and production processes that allow for more bits per die.” Western Digital set the previous record two years ago, when it launched a 200GB microSD card. The company was able to double the capacity of the 200GB card which made its debut two years ago by turning to a new production process.
The speed of reading on the map of the 10th class can reach 100 MB / s. This makes the novelty ideal for launching applications directly from it: SanDisk Ultra at 400 GB is rated A1. Note that before memory cards format microSD limited to 256 GB, that is, SanDisk broke the record in 1,56 times. Such an advantage can not but lead to a high price – for SanDisk Ultra at 400 GB.
