Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced the release of its 1-terabyte (TB) high-capacity microSD cards PRO Plus and EVO Plus. By adopting Samsung's eighth-generation V-NAND (V8) technology, the PRO Plus and EVO Plus boast enhanced performance and high capacity, ideal for content creators and tech enthusiasts needing quick file transfers and storage for everyday use across their devices in everyday use.

"Creators and tech enthusiasts are increasingly using portable devices such as smartphones and handheld gaming devices to store data that demand high-performance and high-capacity," said Hangu Sohn, Vice President of Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics. "The new high-capacity microSD cards, PRO Plus and EVO Plus, are response to the demand for storing large amounts of high-quality data in a reliable and secure way."





More Storage Capacity
The increased storage size of the PRO Plus and EVO Plus gives users the high-capacity storage options entering the TB capacity range that is mainly used in SSD devices. With 1 TB of storage, users can store more than 400K 4K UHD (2.3 MB) images or more than 45 console games (20 GB). The enhanced capacity of the PRO Plus and EVO Plus unlock new possibilities for everyday devices on the go such as smartphones, action cameras, drones and handheld game consoles. The PRO Plus and EVO Plus offer a range of storage options including 128-gigabyte (GB), 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. The EVO Plus also has a 64 GB option.

Enhanced Performance
The PRO Plus allows users storing large amounts of high-quality content to experience excellent performance for a seamless creative workflow. It promises exceptional efficiency and solid reliability with its storage options from 128 GB to 1 TB, offering sequential read speeds of up to 180 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) coupled with sequential write speeds of up to 130 MB/s. For fast loading and multitasking, the PRO Plus has UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 30 (V30) for 4K UHD Video with A2 App Performance, allowing users to worry less about storing and organizing their content and focus on creating.

For daily use, storing data on devices can be enhanced with the EVO Plus with transfer speeds of up to 160 MB/s. It also boasts a UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 30 (V30) for 4K UHD video with A2 App Performance so users can experience seamless loading and multitasking. The 64 GB EVO Plus model has varying specifications with UHS Speed Class 1 (U1), Video Speed Class 10 (V10) and A1 App Performance.

Maximized Power Efficiency and Increased Reliability With 28 nm Controller
Samsung's PRO Plus and EVO Plus 1 TB microSD cards show improved power efficiency with its controller based on 28-nanometer (nm) process technology, compared to company's previous lineup with a 55 nm one. This allows users to make the most out of their device's battery life with Samsung's 1 TB card.

With an Error Correction Code (ECC)s Low Density Parity Check (LDPC)6 code 2-kilobyte (KB) engine, the PRO Plus and EVO Plus 1 TB cards offer enhanced durability for a higher volume of write-and-erase cycles, ensuring safer data storage over extended periods.

Proven Durability for Reliable Storage
The PRO Plus and EVO Plus are ultra-durable and have undergone comprehensive testing, achieving high-reliability ratings in six areas. Tested extensively under harsh conditions, the PRO Plus and EVO Plus are designed to withstand challenging environments and can withstand water high temperatures, X-rays and magnetic field. For creators venturing into challenging conditions, the PRO Plus and EVO Plus have demonstrated durability through extensive testing and are drop-proof and resistant to wear-out.

Compatible Across Devices
The PRO Plus and EVO Plus are compatible with a range of everyday devices so that data is stored securely, including Android smartphones, tablets and handheld gaming consoles. They are also compatible with devices used in harsh environments, such as action cameras or drones for creating, editing and saving data.

The 1 TB models of the PRO Plus and EVO Plus microSD Cards will be available worldwide in July, 2024. The PRO Plus has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) ranging from $24.99 for the 128 GB model to $153.99 for the 1 TB model. The MSRP for the EVO Plus ranges from $12.99 for the 64 GB model to $131.99 for the 1 TB model.

The PRO Plus and EVO Plus have a 10-year limited warranty.

Somewhere on the internet someone is thinking how they can use these things to create the smallest yet high capacity RAID array for their NAS.

It's all about what file system you format the memory card with and what file systems the device you put it in can understand.
Anything with NTFS or exFAT support would be fine.

If you told people back in 1990 1000000 megabytes of storage would eventually be the size of half a post stamp they'd claim you insane.

Yet here we are, and it's actually insane :)

I've had a 10tb card for 3yrs. This is old tech.

I've got a s10+ with a card slot, it will be the last Samsung phone I use. I a need sd card slot.

You can also buy such.a card packaged as a 4TB SATA SSD if that's what you need. It's called added value.

Some more Moore, and in two decades we'll be discussing how 8-bits-per-atom storage is worse than 7.

bruh, did you own a PSP?

Actually I still have a PSP3000. The original battery is no good now and I forgot to get a replacement. Had a 16GB memory stick in it. I guess it was all I needed at the time. Makes me wonder if I could get my Metal Gear games saves off of it and reuse them in emulators.

However, Tommy Boy's words are echoing in my mind.

How's the thermal tolerance on these? 'Been seeing a lot of devices lately with mSD Card readers that run the cards exceedingly hot.

I fail to see why anyone would bother with the pro cards? I looked at the chart and the performance difference is nothing an end user would ever notice, but I bet there will be a huge price difference between the two!

And then there is this little nugget - "Maximized Power Efficiency and Increased Reliability With 28 nm Controller" Is that supposed to be impressive? Isn't that like 15-year-old tech?

Some companies dont need the the most advanced chips in their products. Smaller modes usually equal more expensive chips but since 28mn is 15yrs old, companies can get chips at a lower price.

But the product is far from cheap, it costs as much as PCIe 5.0 SSDs per TB.

I get that, but wouldn't the heat these generate be significantly reduced by using a more modern manufacturing process? Not to mention you increase the number of dies on a wafer. I understand these don't require the n3 process...
