CES 2019: Lexar introduces 1TB SD card

SanDisk showed off a 1TB SD prototype a couple of years back, but the company isn’t the first one to bring this storage capacity to the market. American company Lexar is. The company’s Professional 633x line of SDHC and SDXC UHS-I cards now have cards that start from 16GB up to 1TB. The card claims read speeds of up to 95MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s. These are rated as V30/U3, which guarantees a sustained write performance of 30MB/s. With storage that big, expect to pay a lot for it. The 1TB model goes for US$499.99. It’s possible to get two 512GB cards for less, but the premium price might come from getting this tech breakthrough off the ground.
