Marketing Manager of Integral Memory, James Danton, said:

Consumers have been clear in their call for increased storage, as mobile devices have become essential to many in everyday life. The need to provide extended memory for smartphones, tablets and a growing range of other mobile devices such as action cams and drones has been answered. As a company, we are very proud to be the first to achieve the 512GB capacity milestone in microSDXC, worldwide.

Speed

It supports the Video Speed Class 10 (V10) standard, and offers fast data transfer and makes it much easier to capture Full HD videos on smartphones, cameras and other video recording devices.

Integral’s latest card manages a peak transfer speed of 80MB/s which is good enough for apps and recording 4K videos at 30 fps.

Price and Availability

The company hasn’t yet revealed the price of the first ever 512GB card. However, we expect it to cost around $300-$350 because an average 400GB memory card costs around $250 on Amazon.

Integral Memory will start shipping the half terabyte microSD card from February (next month).


  • Three years ago, I got a 32GB card for around Rs. 5000. Late last year, got a 128GB card for the same price. Will be getting this one too when it hits the Rs.5000 mark in three years.

  • It is just U1 class. Its not the fastest card, please try to understand that. If inserted in latest model 4K/ 5K camera, it will be unsupported for 60 FPS recording.
