512 GB World’s First Memory Card launched (SanDisk Corporation)


A flash storage solutions company launched a world's highest capacity SD memory card called SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I. It is capable of storing information up to 512 GB. The transfer speed of this card is up to 95 MB per second.

 Amsterdam Vice President of Product Marketing Dinesh Bahal said that the company is going to the limit to give customers high performance storage solutions. To solve storage problems that can handle large files the 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I card was developed.

The SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I is also available in 128 GB and 256 GB storage capacity. The 512 GB card is priced at $800 which is very expensive costing more than the new smartphones that have released in the market recently. However, it is a small price to pay considering the capacity and the functionality of the SD card. Nothing has been said about the price of the 128 and 256 GB memory cards.
