This 200GB microSD card can transfer up to 1,200 photos per minute

By Gabe Carey Updated April 26, 2022

This spring, SanDisk revealed the world’s first 200GB microSD card which, at the same time, just so happens to be the highest-capacity microSD card on the market. Today, Liliputing reported that the Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card is available now from a number of retailers at the MSRP of $240.

While it might seem excessive to shell out over 200 clams on an SD card only to be filled with every episode of The Wire and all three Back to the Future movies, it’s actually a considerably more modest price than the $400 price tag SanDisk previously suggested.

Its Amazon listing indicates that Sandisk’s new high-capacity microSD card offers transfer speeds of up to 90MB per second, nearly double that of its 128GB counterpart. SanDisk claims that the improved read speed will allow for up to 1,200 photos to be transferred between devices in a single minute. Seeing as it’s a Class 10, which enables both video recording and playback, the card is presumably geared towards photographers and filmmakers who need more space than other SD cards can typically provide.

Reaffirming this assumption, the UHS-I comes packaged with an SD card adapter specifically intended for use with MIL cameras. Furthermore, the MicroSD card is waterproof, temperature-proof, shock-proof, X-ray-proof, and magnet-proof in case the possibility of destruction was a deal-breaker for you.

Though it is admittedly on the pricey side, the SanDisk 200GB microSD card brings opulence in speed, storage, and durability that may very well justify the cost. If not, the 128GB flavor of the same card retails at $79 — more bang for your buck if you’re concerned with sheer volume.

Next-gen GPUs are coming ‘later this year’ — but which?

RX 7900 XTX slotted into a test bench.

What's going on with next-gen graphics cards? I've been asking myself that question for months now. Reports about Nvidia's RTX 50-series and AMD's RDNA 4 first pointed to a 2024 release, but most sources now agree that we won't see any new GPUs until 2025. Except EK Water Blocks, a company that now claims that we'll see an announcement "later this year."

EK Water Blocks makes liquid cooling solutions, and it's partnered with both Nvidia and AMD, which makes it harder to determine which GPU manufacturer it's talking about here. According to the latest leaks, both GPU makers aren't launching their new products this year, although one source (admittedly uncertain) claimed that we'd have an announcement this month. This is now the second leak in as many days that implies good news in 2024.
