    I hope the link works. It's a shopping cart with 2 SDs. They are both 200 USD, one of 256GB and the other of 400GB.

        Designed for professional purposes. Will come in consuner products once PC makers stop putting SD Card readers on a USB 2.0 bus. Will become affordablein some years. Cool to see what the future looks like

                  With great innovation in speed comes greater expenses. People nowadays had no idea how expensive HDDs were back then. We can get 1TB drive today for the same price as the 40GB ones from 10 - 14 years ago. Maybe in five or seven more years (with the lawsuit from Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix for example is set and done), we could finally get a 1TB SSD for just 4500 pesos.

                      They could've made it backward compatible with UHS-II and UHS-III by doubling the pins on the second row while making the pin-out select UHS or PCIe or both where applicable.

                        OwO yes please!

Movie collectors and fans will love it as it can store lots of movies. Should be perfect paired with a $250 Mi Max 3, a 6.9“ multimedia phone designed to maximize enjoyment with Facebook, movies, music, photo viewing and gaming without worrying about battery life. Much better buy than some overpriced SD 435 flagship with 6.0-6.3“ sreen that has no external sd card storage only and has a sub 4000mAh battery.

                            Arif238, 28 Jun 2018These new cards isn't going to cost less than 500$-700$ and... moreMaybe right now but the prices will surely drop over the year. On top of it, it's also crazy fast so you can also ditch your external hard drive for this. I'm really excited for this innovation.

For that price, you can buy an sd card-less flagship phone that has a 1-2 year lifespan whose internal storage dies with the phone and can't be transferred to another phone, a camcorder, a digital camera or another portable gaming console. Buying a phone without sd card slot is supporting planned obsolescence and wasteful consumption.

                                      Excellent development. This is the reason why Google and other manufacturers are not providing sd card slots in their phones. They don't want you to just buy a bigger sd card storage. They want you to buy an overpriced phone with larger internal storage instead or to subscribe to their cloud services.

                                        These cards are costly than mid-range mobile phones . Most people can not afford it .
