What a Surprise 400GB Memory Card Lookout At MWC 2018

Western Digital Unveils 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I MicroSDXC Card, Showcases PCIe SD Card 

Western Digital at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona uncovered the new 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card that is touted to be the world's fastest UHS-I flash memory card. The company also showcased an experimental PCIe SD card with walloping 880MBps paces. Cost and availability of the new UHS-I microSD card are yet to reveal, while the cutting edge PCIe SD card is at present at an advanced stage and isn't probably going to be commercially available in the coming months. 

The new 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSD card is claimed to present to 160MBps read and 90MBps compose speeds, making it in excess of 50 percent faster than the past SanDisk Extreme UHS-1 microSD cards. Western Digital has utilized its proprietary 3D NAND innovation to convey faster speeds. Also, the microSD card is based on the Application Performance Class 2 (A2) specification that is acclaimed to help launch and load apps rapidly - targeting smartphone clients. The new microSD card additionally features a strong form that is stun verification, temperature-evidence, waterproof, and X-ray confirmation, according to the company's internal tests. 

It merits calling attention to here that the new 400GB Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card isn't the fastest choice in the market of microSD cards, yet it is something that Western Digital is planning specifically to enhance the client encounter on cell phones. The card is also a prominent choice for shooting 4K HDR recordings that are bolstered by a portion of the latest Android flagships. 

"Purchasers expect an increasingly better versatile experience, and with our 3D NAND innovation, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation to enable them to create and appreciate more rich substance on their gadgets. Our skill in flash memory and microSD card hardware enables us to achieve unmatched performance. The breakthrough SanDisk microSD card is confirmation of Western Digital's sense of duty regarding conveying further developed arrangements that enable data to flourish," said Jim Welsh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Solutions, Western Digital, in a statement. 

In addition to the new microSDXC card, Western Digital demonstrated its PCIe SD card that is claimed to convey the ability to read data records faster than today's platform. It conveys read and compose rates of up to 880MBps and 430MBps, separately - more than what a traditional SATA-based SSD offers. These velocities are vital to use features, for example, super-moderate movement video, RAW nonstop burst mode, and 8K video recording and playback. 

Notably, the SD Card Association has already adopted PCIe as a standard. This means a range of PCIe SD cards could arrive as the up and coming generation of storage arrangements. Be that as it may, meanwhile, the new 400GB microSDXC card is one of the great alternatives to get a faster affair on portable gadgets, including smartphones and other cell phones.
