SanDisk announces “world’s fastest” 1TB microSD card

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 $449.99 USD (about $593.08 CAD). For comparison, SanDisk’s 400GB microSD will run you $149.99 CAD 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 $199.99 USD (approximately $263.58 (CAD).

Both sizes are available for pre-order through SanDisk’s website now and will release in the coming months.

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.
