Half a terabyte in 32x24mm. SanDisk’s new SD card is the king of storage

Shooting in 4k video is becoming more and more commonplace as video pros look to make videos that are not only more detailed, but also have the option of re-framing down to 1080p in post production without losing any of the detail that you would normally have. The biggest problem with 4k video however, is the sheer size of the files that come from recording in the format. Well at least that used to be the problem until SanDisk released its latest Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I memory card with the mind-boggling ability to store up to 512GB of data.

In just 11 years SanDisk has managed to go from offering a maximum of 512MB of storage in an SD card to offering 512GB without increasing the physical size of the card at all. The new Extreme Pro SD card is capable of claimed write speeds of up to 90 megabytes per second (MB/s) and data transfer speeds up to 95 MB/s which make it perfect for the rigours of 4k recording.

At a $729 (R8 001) it certainly is not the SD card for everyone but if you’re willing to hold out until the 15th of October when they become available and you haven’t already broken a sweat at a price like that then the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I 512GB memory card may just be the card of your photographic dreams.
