The largest microSD memory card on the market is already here: 512 GB. The company Integral has launched the first microSD card with a storage capacity of no less than 512 GB, although of course it will not be a cheap card: it is said that its price will be above 250 euros (still to be confirmed), which is SanDisk currently costs 400 GB which by the way can already be purchased in Spain.

If until now the record of the card with greater capacity boasted that of 400 GB of SanDik, now the English company Integral has decided to go a step further and offer an even higher capacity, thus achieving to break records in the market of credit cards. storage. These increasingly superior capabilities in external memory cards respond to a change in habits that leads to a change in our needs in terms of devices.

There are so many and so many files that we keep on our mobile phone that every time we need to have more space. 512 GB may be excessive for a user of a conventional phone (although many phones are already compatible with capacities of up to 2 TB), but professional users such as photographers may require at some point a card that offers these benefits.

 

Among the features of the new 512GB microSD card is that it has a SDXC UHS-I U1 speed standard, and is capable of transferring files at a speed of up to 80 MB / s, which, while not the highest on the market, less yes it should be enough to record videos in 4K format. It also has the V10 standard for video transfer speeds, so it is designed to capture video in the highest quality.

Regarding the price of the 512GB microSD card, it has not yet been made public. An approximation we can have it taking as reference the cost of SanDisk 400 GB, which is around 250 euros. It is expected that the launch will be in the next month of February.
