As the type progresses, the portable storage segment has undergone a remarkable evolution with improvements in both capacity and transfer times. Good proof of this is the recent announcement made by the company specialized in portable storage SanDisk.
Within the framework of the IFA 2017 fair, the firm has announced the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I, a card with 400 GB capacity That will allow us store up to 40 hours of Full HD video with transfer speeds of up to 100MB / s.
A "beast" in storage and speed for mobile devices
It's only been three years since SanDisk unveiled its 128GB microSD card. A year later it introduced a 200 GB microSD card and now, in an environment of increasingly intense competition against companies like Samsung and its UFS memory cards, SanDisk has managed to set another world record with the 400 GB microSD card of the SanDisk Ultra series which is officially the world's highest capacity for use on mobile devices.
Sandisk's new 400GB microSD card allows you to store up to 40 hours of Full HD resolution videos that in addition, you can be transferred to the card to a 100MB / s maximum speed. Thanks to this speed, in theory, it would allow moving up to 1.200 photos per minute. Thus, and with native support for the Android mobile operating system, the new 400 GB microSD card from SanDisk could be the perfect solution for large consumers of multimedia content.
As for its price, this "huge" microSD card is on sale at a price of $ 249,99 in the United States And considering that the 256GB did it at a price of $ 199,99, it is not bad to pay an additional $ 50 for almost 150 GB more storage. Still, its price is most likely to fall over the next few months.
Sven Rathjen, vice president of product marketing at Western Digital, the parent company of SanDisk, said: “We continue to push technological boundaries and transform the way consumers use their mobile devices. By focusing on reaching new technological milestones, we enable consumers to keep up with their mobile-centric lifestyles with storage solutions they trust. And indeed, the new SanDisk Ultra is a real beast when it comes to storage.
