SanDisk Squeezes 200GB Into A Tiny MicroSD Card

Stop for a second and take a look at the fingernail on your baby finger. That’s roughly the size of a microSD card that can now hold a whopping 200GB of data thanks to SanDisk. Remember when USB flash drives with a full gigabyte of storage were mind-blowing? We were so foolish back then.

Available sometime in the second quarter of 2015, the new microSDXC card uses the same technology that SanDisk developed for the 128GB microSDXC card it introduced last year, but with an improved design allowing the company to increase storage capacity by 56 per cent. The new card also boasts transfer speeds of up to 90MB/sec, but once available its $US400 price tag might be a little hard to swallow — even if the card itself isn’t.

Too bad there’s no slot for it in the new Galaxy S6. [SanDisk]
