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.
