512GB, 1TB MicroSD cards en route this April

If your computer workload devours MicroSD cards, you’re going to like this.

Western Digital, Samsung, and Micro have announced that 1TB SD cards will be available at the Mobile World Congress event.

The units can record with 90MB/S write speeds with up to 160MB/s read speeds. Western Digital has stated that the card can transfer data at twice the speed of standard UHS-1 MicroSD units. This, combined with a meaty terabyte of storage, make it perfect as an expansion unit to any device.

The cards will also launch in a 512GB capacity.

The 1TB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card will launch in April. Pre-orders are available now for about $450, or $200 for the 512GB version.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
