SanDisk has unveiled a 400GB microSDXC card, giving mobile users a new external storage option for greatly expanding their device’s internal storage capacity. The drive is offered under the SanDisk brand, officially taking the title of the world’s fastest UHS-I microSD card. The company introduced the card at Mobile World Congress 2018 where it demonstrated the card in action.
The 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card is ideal for devices with demanding data needs, such as a drone or smartphone that records 4K video. The card is more than 50% faster than the existing Extreme UHS-I microSD cards offered by SanDisk, boasting read speeds up to 160MB/s. According to the company, these “unprecedented” speeds are possible thanks to proprietary Western Digital tech.
The card has a write speed up to 90MB/s, as well as a durable construction that makes it waterproof, dust-proof, shockproof, and x-ray proof. The 400GB card is A2/U3/V30 rated and is joined by RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software to recover any files that are accidentally deleted.
These speeds are particularly important for devices that capture high-resolution and data-heavy files, such as RAW burst image capture and 4K/8K drone video recording. Discussing the card’s capabilities is Western Digital’s Jim Welsh, who said:
Priced at $300.
