Sandisk's 200GB MicroSD Card Will Turn Android Phones Into Portable Hard Drives

• http://www.popsci.com, By Michael Nuñez

Let's face it: Storage devices aren't exactly the most exciting pieces of hardware. They either work or they don't. And when they don't work, they can cause major headaches. For the last decade, SanDisk has prevented those type of headaches by providing some of the most reliable storage devices on the market. Now it's going a step further by providing the highest capacity microSD card in the world.

SanDisk's newest MicroSD card (which is about the size of a thumb tack) packs in 200GB, effectively turning any Android device into a makeshift portable storage and backup device. They're calling the product the 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card Premium Edition, which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but that doesn't really matter. The card transfers data at about 90MB per second (or about 1,200 photos per second), meaning that anyone who likes to carry their entire music or photo library with them can effectively do so.
