Sandisk launches 32GB microSD
STORAGE OUTFIT Sandisk has pipped rivals to the post with the launch of its 32GB microSD card.
The new addition to its range launches today and in packs double the capacity of the previous modules, using 32nm chips with three bits per cell.
The miniscule cards still adopt the SDHC format so, while the company has certified them for use on 170 devices, they should have few problems working with any current gadget that can support the current range of 16GB units. After 32GB though, we move into the territory of the microSDXC standard, which - much like the move from SD to SDHC - will require new hardware to support it.
According to Nikki Willcock, regional marketing manager for Sandisk, it is the first company to ship 32GB microSD cards, but we can be pretty sure that competitors like Kingston and PNY won't be far behind.
The kicker comes with the price tag. While you can easily pick up a 16GB microSD card for under £30, you can expect the 32GB models to set you back around £200. So unless you're desperate for more space on your phone or media player, you'll probably want to hold off until the price drops quite significantly. µ

WOW! The new standard HD and 3D chip technology is great! Regarding chips in general, a word to the wise says caution. I find that using lower GB chips in either 3D or standard HD formats is best. After having a chip fail and losing some material contained on that chip, I was relieved it was only a small capacity type in lieu of the larger memory type. Chips such as the newer 32 GB type are super for travel and maximum capacity. However, just imagine having a chip fail and losing all of that material. Although one can import material onto a PC periodically before the chip is full, I find it best to be safe. Its only my preference, but I use smaller GB type chips, import often, and also make back up CDs to archive the material, just in case the PC hard drive crashes. Trust me, anything can happen!
