Western Digital Corporation (WDC), a global storage technology and solutions leader, announced the new 400GB SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I card – the fastest UHS-I flash memory card in its class at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.

The company’s new 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSD card is designed to help consumers move their high-quality content faster than ever. With read speeds of up to160MB/s, the new card is more than 50 percent faster than current SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSD cards, making it ideal for use in high-end Android smartphones, action cameras and drones. It also offers extreme speeds and fast transfer for 4K Ultra HD video. However, the write performance is less striking at “just” 90MB/s.

According to the company, these “unprecedented” speeds are possible due to leveraging of Western Digital proprietary technology. The card will also feature the A2 specification, which demands a minimum random read speeds of 4,000IOPS, a minimum random write of 2,000IOPS, and a minimum sustained read speed of 10MB/s to help launch and load apps at blazing speeds.

Jim Welsh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Solutions, Western Digital, said “Consumers expect an increasingly better mobile experience, and with our 3D NAND technology, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation to enable them to create and enjoy more rich content on their devices. Our expertise in flash memory and microSD card electronics enables us to achieve unmatched performance. The breakthrough SanDisk microSD card is evidence of Western Digital’s commitment to delivering more advanced solutions that enable data to thrive.”
