200GB microSD card announced by SanDisk

[CHL]

SanDisk has announced the first 200GB capacity microSD card, a 56% increase on its previous record of 128GB just a year earlier.

SanDisk Corporation has introduced the 200GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card, Premium Edition – the world's highest capacity microSD card for use in mobile devices. Just one year after its record-breaking 128GB microSD card, the company has increased storage capacity by 56% within the same fingernail-sized form factor. Blazingly fast transfer speeds of 90MB/s enable consumers to move up to 1,200 photos per minute.

“Mobile devices are completely changing the game,” said Christopher Chute, Vice President, Worldwide Digital Imaging Practice, IDC. “Seven out of 10 images captured by consumers are now from smartphones and tablets. Consumers view mobile-first devices as their primary means for image capture and sharing – and by 2019, smartphones and tablets will account for nine out of 10 images captured. As the needs of mobile users continue to change, SanDisk is on the forefront of delivering solutions for these demands as is clearly illustrated through their growing portfolio of innovative products, including the new 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card.”

SanDisk achieved this capacity breakthrough by leveraging the proprietary technology developed last year for the 128GB version and creating a new design and production process that allows for more bits per die. Digital storage is a very good example of an exponential technology. On current trends, microSD cards with terabyte (1000GB) capacities are likely to be achieved within the next several years.

The 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card, Premium Edition, features a ten-year limited warranty and will be available worldwide in Q2 2015 at a suggested retail price of $399.99.

i have 3 of the 128gb but none are compatible with the device i wanted to use them for---dslr camera. probably because they have to use the sd adapter.
they work with samsung phones. android platform.
i thought they'd work with the adapter. i think a standard sd 128gb card would work for my camera.

these won't work on a comp that doesn't take microSD card so don't think of getting them to use on comps/cameras that don't take microSD cards. the adapter will cause the/a 128gb+ microSD to be read as 200MB....

When I started my computer science degree, I got a new PC. It had a Pentium CPU, Windows 95 with an awesome 1+ GB hard drive.

Well, I haven't had issues with sandisk SD cards....

But even Samsung would charge you with a similar price if they had a 200 GB SD card.

sandisk is over the top with their pricing. samsung dominates in other areas but they're pricing is never out there compared to competitors.

in real world situations there's no real difference btwn sandisk and cheap adata. but adata moves way more unites than sandisk so of course there's gonna be quality issues like with anything that moves major numbers. they'll replace and keep it moving.
all my shyt is sandisk though cause i get em cheap

whatver patent sandisk hold i bet its finna run out and samsung gonna drive them out of business. cameras aren't exactly selling like that... and samsung's ssd will move into phones...

Well, that's how Sandisk recovers costs for R&D. And all the people who really need that much disk space probably have the money to fork over.
They got to get their money now because when everyone can sell it, they have to lower their prices. I don't blame their business model. Pretty much most hardware companies operate in this way too.
