World's New Biggest SD Card--More Capacity Than Many Laptops

With more memory than many laptops being sold today, this SanDisk Extreme PRO SD is the world’s highest capacity SD card. SD technology has now, according to SanDisk, increased capacity 1,000 times in just over 10 years. The pricetag is also around that of many new laptops, although the card comes with a lifetime limited warranty and is built for resistance to temperature, water, shock and x-ray.


It is being marketed to those who want to capture high quality, fast photo and video. In addition to high capacity, the SD also has a 95MB/s and UHS Speed Class 3 write speed, enabling 4K Ultra HD, Full HD video and fast-action photography.








From SanDisk’s own description, the card is “built for the pros.”


Since SanDisk unveiled its first 512MB SD card in 2003, capacity demands have increased exponentially and the new 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I card represents a 1,000-fold capacity increase in just over a decade, yet maintains the same size footprint. SanDisk’s most powerful and highest capacity SD UHS-I memory card yet, the 512GB card delivers write speeds up to 90 MB/s* and UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) recording speed for high resolution, real-world color and stutter-free 4K Ultra HD video1. Transfer speeds up to 95 MB/s* move data quickly for efficient post-production workflow.


The 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I card delivers both the speed and capacity needed to support 4K Ultra HD video capture, enabling users to shoot tremendous amounts of content without disrupting the moment.


The new offering comes with key features designed for pro-level action:



  • Built for and tested in harsh conditions—temperature proof, water proof, shock proof, and x-ray proof2

  • Lifetime limited warranty3

  • RescuePRO® Deluxe data recovery software download offer4, for bringing accidentally deleted images back to life


SanDisk Extreme Team member Sebastian Devaud, renowned director and producer, relies on cutting edge technologies to continuously advance his productions. “I am always interested in new technologies to help improve how I work and the quality of my results,” said Devaud. “With higher capacities, I have greater flexibility to capitalize on the moment and let the camera roll without worrying about the performance of my equipment.”


“The new 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-I card offers incredible speed and capacity,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Our Pocket Cinema Camera customers shoot in every type of circumstance and location, and get amazing wide dynamic range RAW images capturing the brightest highlights and darkest shadows at the same time. The additional capacity of the SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-I card will extend the creative freedom for our customers shooting in RAW and open up the ability to use wide dynamic range RAW files with even more productions.”
