Right now, the cheapest microSD card is available at Amazon for only $169.99. The new Silicon Power 1TB Superior MicroSDXC card was claimed to beat the likes of Sandisk 1TB Ultra, both in terms of specs and pricing, setting a new world record for the lowest priced memory card.
The card's manufacturer claims that the new product has speeds of up to 80MB/s on write and up to 100MB/s. These great features make the new microSD card a good card to save 4K content.
However, here's the catch. Techradar reported that you need to reformat it to exFAT to benefit from speed improvements. On the other hand, the card is expected to be temperature-proof, X-ray proof, waterproof, and shockproof.
As of the moment, tech giant manufacturers, such as Kingston and Samsung, haven't released any confirmation yet if it'll also release their first 1TB microSD cards. Since these two companies are known for their high-end products, there's a high chance that they can beat the new microSD card.
