SanDisk has <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/sandisk-reveals-largest-capacity.html" target="_blank">announced</a>
 the world’s largest capacity microSD memory card. Smaller than a 
typical human fingernail, this new card is packed with 128GB of storage 
which is enough to hold 16 hours of full HD video, 7,500 songs, 3,200 
pictures and more than 125 apps, all on a single card.<br />

<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/sandisk-reveals-largest-capacity.html" target="_blank">MicroSD</a> cards first hit the scene in 2004 out of a necessity to deliver
 mobile storage to various digital gadgets like digital cameras. Early 
cards boasted an incredible (at the time) 128MB of storage but since 
then, microSD card storage capacity has <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/sandisk-reveals-largest-capacity.html" target="_blank">increased</a> 1,000 times over.<br />
<br />

To get to today’s 128GB milestone, SanDisk developed a proprietary 
technique that allows for 16 memory die to be stacked vertically – each 
thinner than a strand of hair. Christopher Chute, research director, 
Worldwide Digital Imaging, IDC, said the technology is well in line with
 what mobile users expect and demonstrates <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/sandisk-reveals-largest-capacity.html" target="_blank">SanDisk</a>’s commitment to 
mobility.<br />

One could argue that portable memory cards like this are on the way 
out, what with the rise in popularity of cloud storage as well as the 
fact that fewer and fewer mobile devices are shipping with microSD card 
slots. But that time is still likely years away if I had to venture a 
guess.<br />

The 128GB <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/sandisk-reveals-largest-capacity.html" target="_blank">SanDisk</a> Ultra microSDXC card is available exclusively in the 
US through BestBuy.com and Amazon priced at $199.99. The card is also on
 display at SanDisk’s booth this week during Mobile World Congress.<span id="goog_790209420"></span><span id="goog_790209421"></span><br />
