First ever 1TB microSD card goes on sale on Amazon

 

Amazon has started selling the 1 TB version of the Sandisk Extreme which was announced earlier this year, and means you can potentially load your smartphone or camera with more storage space than your laptop.

It is temporarily out of stock, having moved out of preorder earlier today, which indicates that there might be a backlog in orders.

At $450 (around £350, AU$650) on Sandisk’s online shop, it carries a significant premium over smaller capacities. The 128GB version for example retails just over $26 (around £20, AU$40), less than half the per GB price.

The card (known as the SDSQXA1-1T00-GN6MA) comes with a lifetime warranty and, Sandisk says, is waterproof, shockproof and x-ray proof. With a read speed of up to 90MBps, the Sandisk Extreme is compatible with the new V30 speed class and can record videos at 4K without hitch.
