Many Smartphone fans are in love with devices that provide microSD card slots that allow them to expand internal storage. If you are one of them, you may be happy to know that Microdia, a company based in San Jose, California, USA had cramped unbelievably huge 512GB into a microSD card. Yes, exactly enormous 512GB capacity!
As Microdia revealed at Computex 2015, their newest product has a capacity of 512GB, making it the world’s biggest microSD up to now.
Obviously Microdia Xtra Elite isn’t targeted to everyday smartphone users, even if the card will work well in any device that supports the SDXC format. Instead, the Microdia Xtra Elite microSD card is aimed at professional photographers who need massive storage for photos and video.
The card features SDXC 4.0 UHS-II standard that promises data transfer rates of up to 300MBps, about three times faster than the previous SDXC 3.0 UHS-I version.
Microdia is setting up to bring the Xtra Elite on sale this July. Predictably, such a huge amount of space doesn’t come cheaply.
Priced at $1,000, the Microdia Xtra Elite is more expensive than a Galaxy S6 Edge, which is one of 2015’s beasts. This means the Microdia Xtra Elite price in Philippines at launch date will be no less than PHP 45,300. Oh WOW, it’s worth a fortune, isn’t it?
Fans around the world are looking for a smaller and more affordable version. We may also find a 64GB model that comes at around $15.
A microSD card that is even more expensive than a high-end smartphone may sound crazy to many people. However, Microdia Xtra Elite would be helpful for many others who seek extra storage for their devices.
