Well actually the Xetended Capacity will hold up to 2 or 4 TB AFAIK.I think that once micro SD cards either get to 512 or 1024 GB (1TB), then it should be a Micro SD EC. A Micro SD Extreme Capacity.
Even a 200 GB card isn't too expensive, I think I saw them for 60 dollars or so?
Black Friday B&H had them for $50.
I'm going to swallow one. Then I'll have 512GB of internal storage.
I honestly don't get the weird jump in size:
64
128
200
400
512
Really?
I think it's only sandisk, every other card I've seen is 256.
Sandisk always want to be special, I remember using a 100MB CF card a long time ago.Ah okay, but still weird.

Size constraints I suppose. fitting 256gb is far more difficult then fitting 200GB, and the prices show it. I wouldn't be surprised if 256GB/512GB modules have low yields and so they disable the defective bits and round it down to the nearest hundred.I honestly don't get the weird jump in size:

As opposed to selling SD cards at 242.57GB or 487.13GB?Right, but it's a weird transition.

Come to think of it... I think I do remember seeing some Intergral flash sticks. They were pretty shitty. Still, it's better than Microdia, which claimed to make a 512GB MicroSD card two years ago then dropped off the map.I find it strange how many here have never heard of Integral before and treat it as a no-name fake. Integral is well known for making cheap flash drives, albeit usually in small capacities. Schools these days just give out 2GB Integral flash drives by the bucket load.
This “unveiling” is real, although they mention that the read speeds will be lower... and for good reason. Integral drives are universally slow as hell.
