SanDisk unveils the world's largest-capacity SD card of 1 terabyte (TB) - a marvel considering it's even bigger than the storage capacity of many laptops in the market today.
Western Digital Corporation (WDC), a global storage technology and solutions leader, unveiled its SanDisk 1TB terabyte SDXC card prototype yesterday at Photokina 2016, the world's leading photo and video professional trade fair. It is said that the company is giving a preview on future SanDisk imaging technology for the photography and video industry.
According to SanDisk, the company aims to build more sophisticated SD cards with more storage capacity. The company continues to push technological boundaries with solutions that support the increasing proliferation of demands for more efficient data storage.
The company also stated that the newly-developed prototype of 1 terabyte SD card is considered the best for energizing the photography and video industry, both of which greatly require storage space for high-resolution content, as well as applications that demand greater capacity such as virtual reality, video surveillance and 360 video.
It is stated by Dinesh Bahal, Vice President for the product management division of Western Digital's Content Solutions Business Unit, that the company is advancing really well with the technological advancements by making prototype of 1 terabytes SD card. He also added that the company is continuing to innovate and is setting pace in the imaging industry.
Sam Nicholson, Stargate Studios CEO and American Society of Cinematographers member, said "Just a few short years ago the idea of a 1TB capacity point in an SD card seemed so futuristic - it's amazing that we're now at the point where it's becoming a reality. With the growing demand for applications like VR, we can certainly use 1TB when we're out shooting continuous high-quality video. High-capacity cards allow us to capture more without interruption, streamlining our workflow, and eliminating the worry that we may miss a moment because we have to stop to swap out cards."
