KIOXIA’s 2TB microSD has massive capacity, but it most certainly isn’t as fast as Samsung’s new 256GB SD Express card. This new microSD card offers performance equivalent to modern SSDs, but in a small form factor.
Standard read speeds for traditional microSD cards based on the UHS-1 interface is limited to 104MB/s. Now Samsung’s SD Express microSD card reaches up to a sequential read speed of 800MB/s, or 1.4 times faster than SATA SSDs (up to 560 MB/s) and more than 4-times faster than traditional UHS-1 memory cards (up to 200 MB/s). This technology offers improved computing experiences in various applications, including PCs and mobile devices, while Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology maintains the optimum temperature for the SD Express microSD card, even during long usage sessions. Available later this year, with pricing yet to be announced.

With our two new microSD cards, Samsung has provided effective solutions to address the growing demands of mobile computing and on-device AI.
