The Milpitas-based company claims that the card could reach up to 60-megabytes-per-second transferring 4K video files to compatible devices. It can also hit up to 90MB/s writing speed for cameras that can support this speed.

The card price is pretty nuts at this point, compared to the 512GB card with the same transfer speed specs selling for less than half the 1TB’s price tag: just $200.

Other 1TB microSD cards are still missing. Samsung’s announced 1TB microSD hasn’t arrived yet, and neither has Micron’s version, which has a maximum transfer speed of 100MB/s but boosts the video recording speed to 95MB/s.
