Bdw, they are NOT the first. PNY has a 512GB MicroSD for some time now:

It's also not about the first 512GB card, it's about the first A2 rated 512GB card. Context matters.Maybe compared to other types of flash storage, but it's really fast for microSD cards. This is the entire point of the Ax standard, as it's meant to allow for higher IOPS, especially for mobile phone based applications to be able to run better from external storage.
I just got a SanDisk A2 rated card and it helps, especially for write operations, even if it's not a lot.
Compared to an otherwise similar spec Toshiba card.
