This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The mockup image is kinda misleading (article admits its crappy lol).
afaik there aren't any current microSD cards 1TB+ that have a u3 or even u1 speed because the increase in storage size comes at the cost of speed.
The development is definitely cool, but the physical size of a microSD is probably very challenging to design around without sacrificing something.
Huh. I can see drones, action cameras and spy cameras being able to store lots of super high quality footage with this. Like, so much footage it lasts longer than the battery.
It's niche, but I can see the use case.
What would anybody even use 4 TB SD card for? Storing a shit-ton of pirated movies that you can watch on your phone? Aside from that I have no idea. 256 gigs is probably more than enough for anything a normal user would do on a phone.
I have a convertible laptop with a MicroSD slot. A 4TB card would be great for backups.
Portable gaming Pcs. I would love to have my entire library of games accessible offline. My emulation folder alone is like 500gb. I also wouldnt call myself a normal user though. These definitely have a niche market and probably a price tag just as niche.
The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.
Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.
