Microdia, a company based in San Jose, California has revealed at Computex 2015 their Xtra Elite microSD card with a capacity of 512GB.
Back in March, SanDisk introduced its 200GB microSD card which it claims, at that time, as the world’s highest capacity microSD card. The claim is short-lived though as Microdia has recently introduced the Xtra Elite microSDXC SD4.0 UHS-II 512GB card.
The Microdia Xtra Elite claims read/write speeds of up to 300MB/s. Coupled with a large memory capacity, this card is obviously aimed at devices that shoot a ton of 4K videos and high-res photos.
As for the price, CNET reports that it will cost around $1,000 (almost Php45,000) and will launch in July. To put the price into perspective, SanDisk’s 200GB microSD card costs Php18,000. You can even buy a 64GB iPhone 6 (Php42,000) for that amount.

Where to buy this?
Anonymous says:
This is too expensive. All that high cost is due to R&D on the new technology. Now, we wait for the price to go down significantly, given the cost to manufacture should be a lot cheaper than HDDs. Just needed time (several years) for these to be mass produced and used in our devices and laptops. But then the problem is the read/write speed is still slow as compared to our HDDs.

Anong device ba ang nakaka support na ng ganyan kalaking capacity?
psikick says:
most devices that support microsdxc (64Gb) can read that… di lang nakalagay sa marketing or spec list kasi wala naman available cards pa na ganun kalaki… SD is a standard.. like USB.. so you make a new device that uses USB, gagana yan sa lahat ng USB port.. ganun din SD (or any standard).. :)
