They’re Selling 512GB SD Cards Now

You can now get an SD card with more storage space than your average PC, which is quite depressing, but also pretty amazing.

What happened to the good ole days when we needed massive floppy disks that could barely store a song!? They were much easier to spot in a messy desk drawer and you could also slap people with them. Bonus!

Anyway, gone are those days, and storage tech company Sandisk has revealed a 512GB SD card, which really shows how far we’ve come.

The Extreme Pro SDXC card (UHS-1) is the world’s first SD card with room for 512 gigabytes of data — more than a half a terabyte of storage. To put that into perspective, 128GB is starting capacity for most Ultrabooks and the MacBook Air, and 256GB is common for most PC solid-state disk (SSD) drives today.

The Extreme Pro SDXC card is recommended for 4K video capture and costs $800 (around R8,854)
