Breaking New Ground: Samsung Unveils Innovative High-Performance microSD Card Based on SD Express Interface

In a landmark achievement, Samsung collaborates with a key customer to introduce a groundbreaking microSD card, setting new industry standards. This custom product leverages cutting-edge firmware technology and a low-power design, equipping Samsung’s SD Express microSD card with SSD-like performance in a compact form factor.

Traditionally, microSD cards using the UHS-1 interface peaked at 104MB/s read speeds. However, Samsung’s SD Express card shatters these limitations, boasting an impressive 985MB/s read speed, previously unseen in microSD cards.

With a sequential read speed of up to 800MB/s, Samsung’s SD Express microSD card outperforms SATA SSDs by 1.4 times and traditional UHS-1 memory cards by over four times. This enhancement promises enhanced computing experiences across PCs and mobile devices. Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology ensures optimal temperature management, guaranteeing stable performance and reliability even during prolonged usage.

Cutting-Edge 1Tb V-NAND Powers Samsung’s Revolutionary 1TB UHS-1 microSD Card

Breaking Barriers: Samsung’s Latest 1TB microSD Card Integrates Eight Layers of 8th Generation 1-terabit (Tb) V-NAND, Once Exclusive to SSDs. This innovative microSD card redefines high-capacity storage, meeting stringent industry standards for reliability. With water protection, extreme temperature resilience, drop-proof design, wear-out protection, and X-ray and magnetic shielding, Samsung’s 1TB microSD card ensures dependable performance even in the harshest environments.

Key Points:

1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,000,000,000 bytes (1 billion bytes). Usable capacity may vary.
SD Express: Based on SD 7.1 specification released in Feb. 2019, SD Express offers PCIe Gen3x1 interface with a theoretical transfer speed of 985MB/s.
1 terabyte (TB) = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (1 trillion bytes). Usable capacity may vary.
Samsung holds no liability for damages, data loss, or expenses related to memory card data recovery. The six proofs apply solely to the 1TB UHS-1 microSD Card, not the 256GB SD Express microSD Card.
- Endures 1M depth, saltwater, for 72 hours.
- Operates within temperatures of -25℃ to 85℃ (-13°F to 185°F), and non-operating temperatures of -40℃ to 85℃ (-40°F to 185°F).
- Withstands standard airport x-ray machines (Up to 100mGy).
- Resists magnetic fields equivalent to those of a high-field MRI scanner (Up to 15,000 gauss).
- Survives drops from up to 5 meters (16.4 feet).
- Endures up to 10,000 swipes.

Availability:

Expect the 256GB SD Express microSD card to hit the market later this year, while the launch of the 1TB UHS-1 microSD card is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.
