SanDisk 128 GB microSDXC Card
Tom's Hardware Best Of Mobile World Congress 2014 AwardsAt this year’s MWC, SanDisk revealed an entirely new 128 GB microSDXC card – that’s 64 gigabytes bigger than any other microSDXC card currently on the market. Granted, flash storage capacity always doubles at each new tier, but 128 GB of storage that's no bigger than your fingernail is nonetheless a significant achievement. To put it into perspective, the microSD format launched with a 128 megabyte card less than ten years ago, and now nearly a decade later, we have a thousand times greater storage capacity inside the same form factor.
To enable 128 GB of storage on a removable microSD card, SanDisk developed an innovative proprietary technique where 16 memory dies, each shaved to be thinner than a single strand of hair, are stacked on top of each other.
Thanks to smartphone manufacturers who support microSD expansion cards in their devices, some consumers will no longer have to make the tough decision on which storage size to buy. With the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, they can simply drop more in – now up to 128 GB more.
