The Lexar 1TB microSDXC card is still a prototype which means we have no idea what the cost would be, but when released this would offer some very impressive features. As an A2 or Class 10 card, it offers a minimum of 4000IOPS random read, 2000IOPS minimum random write and at least 10MB/s sequential. With a compatible device it is also UHS rated as well as able to match the newest Video Class of a minimum 30MB/s. The 1TB of storage will offer you around 17,000 hours of music, more than half a million pictures or about 80 days of recorded video, all in this tiny card you can see below.
The SSD Review had a chance to test out this prototype, which you can see here.
"Great relationships can lead to great things. In the past few months, there have been a few companies who have stated their intention to market the holy grail of portable storage; a 1TB microSDXC card."

And this is why Apple’s
And this is why Apple’s design decision not to include a Micro-SD slot in Ipads is a bad idea.
Not every place you go has wifi and even if it does is it free, is use uncapped and is speed adequate? You get there and find all those wonderful cloud services that you use for your media consumption do not work.
Alternatively you buy an Android tablet, stick a very large capacity Micro-SD card in it and take more than enough media for 2-3 weeks on the beach.
Crazy, I still remember
Crazy, I still remember buying my first microSD card, a whopping 32MB! Even then I thought it was crazy how they’d fit so much storage in such a small package.
