Western Digital sub-brand SanDisk announced the “world’s fastest” 1TB microSD card at MWC in Barcelona, Spain.
SanDisk’s new ‘Extreme’ series 1TB microSD card will have a transfer speed of up to 160MB/s. That’s quite fast and coupled with that level of storage, would make for a great addition to any Nintendo Switch, GoPro or Android device.
However, there’s one caveat: it’ll cost $609.99 in Canada. For comparison, SanDisk’s 400GB microSD will run you $149.99 on Amazon right now.
For those who need a lot of storage but aren’t ready to pay quite that much, SanDisk also announced a 512GB model for $269.99.
Both sizes are available for pre-order through SanDisk’s website now and are expected to release in May.
Micron also announced a 1TB microSD card which will clock in at 100MB/s read speeds and 95MB/s write speed. However, that slower speed will likely come with a lower price tag as well.
Micron’s microSD card will be available worldwide in Q2 2019.
Update 03/01/2019: Added Canadian pricing and expected availability.
