Integral Memory claims 512 GB MicroSD Card Revealed, And It's Perfect For Nintendo Switch everything you need to know , II 512 GB MicroSD Card Revealed, And It's Perfect For Nintendo Switch , II Integral Memory claims the largest MicroSDXC yet with 512 GB

As computer storage gets progressively cheaper, the capacity of microSD cards continues to go up. As a result, what would seem absolutely unbelievable only a few years ago is now possible: a 512 GB microSD card was recently revealed, becoming the biggest microSD ever created.
It comes from manufacturer Integral Memory, whose card overtakes the previous record holder by a significant margin. SanDisk's 400 GB card is now in second place, although, as The Verge points out, SanDisk still has the edge in speed: Integral Memory's microSD comes in at 80 MB/s, while SanDisk's is at 100 MB/s.

The new card also happens to be classified as the SDXC UHS-I U1 format, meaning that it can be used to capture full HD video from cameras--and it can be used in a Nintendo Switch. The Switch actually supports such microSDs up to 2 TB in capacity, although obviously such cards don't exist yet.
In the meantime, you can grab one of these Integral Memory cards to download all the games you could want. In fact, according to our best guess using this list, you likely could download the entire current Nintendo Switch library to this card--and still have about 50 GB to spare.

 

There's no word yet on the price, but it's likely that you'll have to shell out quite a bit of money for it when it's released in February. The SanDisk 400 GB card, after all, still costs $240 on Amazon. But storage continues to get cheaper every year, so microSD cards of similar capacities will probably be widespread after a few years.

 

Want to store half a terabyte of photos and video on your smartphone? The U.K.-based Integral Memory could make it happen with the largest MicroSDXC available yet, the Integral Memory 512GB MicroSDXC V10.

Designed for adding space to Android phones for everything from videos to music, the company says the large capacity is the first 512GB MicroSDXC card type to ship. The SDXC card is also compatible with action cameras and other devices with a MicroSDHC slot, but the Class 10 speed means the card is designed for shooting in Full HD. Integral Memory doesn’t list 4K among the options, which typically requires faster speed ratings. The card has a maximum transfer speed of 80MB/s.
Still, cramming so much storage inside the tiniest popular type of SD card is no small task. Microdia announced a 512GB MicroSDXC https://raajsajaniya.comin 2015, but after concern over limited availability, the high-capacity card never showed and is not included on the company’s website. The card joins SanDisk and Lexar’s 512GB options but those cards use the larger SD format. For the smaller MicroSD, Lexar launched a 256GB version last year that, unlike the new 512GB option, is designed for 4K video with transfers up to 150 MB/s and write speeds of 90 MB/s.
“Consumers have been clear in their call for increased storage, as mobile devices have become essential to many in everyday life,” James Danton, marketing manager at Integral Memory, said in a press release. “The need to provide extended memory for smartphones, tablets and a growing range of other mobile devices such as action cams and drones has been answered. As a company, we are very proud to be the first to achieve the 512GB capacity milestone in MicroSDXC, worldwide.”

A UK-based storage company, Integral Memory has unveiled a 512GB microSD card, which is the highest so far. The card is also classified as SDXC UHS-I U1 card, Business Wire reports, and it is said to work with different devices such as Android smartphones, and tablets. The Integral 512GB microSD card will officially hit the market next month. The pricing details of the card are not yet known. Along with the card, you will also get a microSD card adapter, a protective case, and a five-year warranty.

 

The new 512GB microSDXC card has been performance tested with a range of smartphones and delivers up to Video Speed Class 10 rating, allowing for transfer speeds up to 80MB per second.
Commenting on the launch,  James Danton, marketing manager, Integral Memory said, “Consumers have been clear in their call for increased storage, as mobile devices have become essential to many in everyday life”. “The need to provide extended memory for smartphones, tablets and a growing range of other mobile devices such as action cams and drones has been answered. As a company, we are very proud to be the first to achieve the 512GB capacity milestone in microSDXC, worldwide,” he further added.
The Integral 512GB microSD card will take on the 400GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card that was launched last year at IFA 2017 conference. In comparison, the SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSD supports 100MB read speed, A1 app performance, and UHS Speed Class 1 for the best performance. The 400GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card is priced at $249.99 (Rs 15,900 approximately).
