It wasn’t that long ago when we were impressed by a 400GB microSD card, but now, Western Digital is showing off a full-size SD card with 10 times the storage capacity. The new SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB SD card is designed for cameras and laptops, and it’s the first time we’ve seen this storage size on an SD card.
While Western Digital is previewing its four-terabyte SD card at the NAB Show this week, it won’t actually be available until 2025. AnandTech notes that the card uses the Ultra High Speed-I (UHS-I) interface, which supports up to 104MB/s data transfers in the UHS104 (SDR104) mode. It also has minimal sequential write speeds of 30MB/s, enough for 8K video recording.
Well, it's tempting to say "This is far more than I'll ever need". But our needs do have a habit of expanding to fill the available storage space!
Nevertheless, it's unlikely that I'll get one any time soon... my laptop doesn't even have an SD card slot, so I really have no use for them
