SanDisk unveils world's first 1TB SD card

SanDisk (owned by Western Digital) has unveiled a new SDXC card with a massive 1TB storage, the biggest SD card in the world. The new SD card is just a prototype at this point and will take some time before the final product is available for purchase in the market.

The 1TB microSD card, first of its kind, will be part of SanDisk's Extreme Pro series and is targeted at professional videographers and photographers, handling high resolution content. SanDisk says that 1TB card is necessary to match the increasing demand for high resolution content, such as 4K and 8K footage, 360-degree video, video surveillance and VR.

Back in 2014, SanDisk released its massive 512GB SDXC card, also the world's biggest at that time and was launched at a price tag of $800. "Sixteen years ago we introduced the first SanDisk 64MB SD card and today we are enabling capacities of 1TB" said the company.

Currently, the pricing and availability details are not known, but expect it to be very expensive.
