Micron Technology has launched what the company claims is the world's highest-capacity microSD card delivering one terabyte (1TB) of high-performance removable storage.

The Micron c200 1TB microSDXC UHS-I card leverages Micron's advanced 96-layer 3D quad-level cell (QLC) NAND technology. The company expects 3D QLC NAND technology to increase the adoption of cost-effective, high-capacity consumer storage for 4K videos, pictures and games on mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The c200 1TB microSD card meets the A2 App Performance Class specification, enhancing user experience for Android Adoptable storage by enabling applications and games installed on the card to load faster. The Micron c200 1TB microSD card also delivers up to 100MB/s read and 95MB/s write performance speeds, meeting UHS-I Speed Class 3 and Video Speed Class 30 specifications. These performance metrics are optimal for video recording of 4K content, game consoles and burst-mode still photography.

The c200 1TB microSD card is sampling now and will be broadly available in the second quarter of 2019, according to Micron.
