Samsung has recently introduced 1TB variants of its Pro Plus and Evo Plus microSD cards, designed to cater to the increasing need for high-capacity and high-performance storage solutions. These new offerings leverage Samsung’s eighth-generation V-NAND (V8) technology, enhancing their performance and reliability.
Specifications:
In terms of performance, the Pro Plus microSD card offers impressive read speeds of up to 180MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s. It also supports UHS Speed Class 3 and Video Speed Class 30, which are essential for high-quality content creation, particularly for 4K UHD video recording. Additionally, the Pro Plus card features A2 Application Performance, enhancing its efficiency.
The Evo Plus card, while slightly less powerful, still delivers strong performance with read speeds of up to 160MB/s. It also supports U3 Speed Grade and V30 video speed class, making it suitable for everyday data storage and multitasking. The Evo Plus card is also equipped with A2 Application Performance.
The new Pro Plus and Evo Plus microSD cards come in a range of capacities, from 128GB to a staggering 1TB. The Evo Plus even offers an additional 64GB option. This translates to storing a massive amount of data on the go. For example, users can store up to 400,000 4K UHD images or over 45 console games on a single 1TB card.
Both the Pro Plus and Evo Plus microSD cards are designed for durability, with the ability to withstand water exposure, high temperatures, X-rays, magnetic fields, drops, and general wear and tear.
Pricing and Availability:
The cards are now available for purchase on Samsung’s website and select global retailers, and they come with a 10-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
The Pro Plus microSD cards are priced starting at $24.99 for the 128GB model, and up to $153.99 for the 1TB model. The Evo Plus microSD cards start at $12.99 for the 64GB model, with the 1TB variant priced at $131.99.
Last week, Samsung also introduced their 512GB Type-C USB 3.2 flash drive in the Chinese market, offering read speeds of up to 400MB/s.
