Microdia somehow managed to fit 512GB in a MicroSD card

MicroSD cards are ridiculously, laughably, annoyingly tiny. (Seriously: they’re small enough to be stolen by three slightly strong ants!) They’re about the same size of your baby fingernail, only with half a terabyte of storage now crammed in there. CNET recently spotted the packaging for a 512GB microSDXC card from Microdia. Microdia is a purveyor of flash storage products — in fact, it made the first 64GB Compact Flash card, way back in 2008.

If it comes through with its latest offering, that would dwarf the next-biggest microSD challenger: a 200GB offering from SanDisk, announced earlier in March this year. Of course, you’ll be paying a pretty penny for all that space: around $1,000 (Rs 63,800 approx), although the price isn’t finalised. It might actually sound like a rip-off, but remember that a regular-sized 512GB SD card runs $800 (Rs 51,200 approx).
