This week during the International Broadcasting Convention, SanDisk revealed its largest SD card to date, the 512 GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I memory card. Built for professionals, this card promises not only a huge capacity for raw movies and photos, but write speeds up to 90 MB/s and transfer speeds up to 95 MB/s.
"Since SanDisk unveiled its first 512 MB SD card in 2003, capacity demands have increased exponentially and the new 512 GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I card represents a 1,000-fold capacity increase in just over a decade, yet maintains the same size footprint," the press release said.
The SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-I SDHC/SDXC family includes 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB capacities. The new 512 GB card costs $799.99 and is available now.

This SD card has more storage space than a lot of older computers, and most game consoles. The $800 price is very expensive. The write and read speeds of 90-95 MB/s is very fast.
Crazy that 512GB of space can be packed into a small SD card. Hopefully, in the future, most smartphones, and tablets come with 512GB of storage space, so people can install more games, and apps on them, and also store their music, and video collection.
