@@tim3172 No I would still argue that software and storage device capacities should be using binary units across the board, I don't care whether they display as TiB or TB for simplicity so long as the underlying units are all binary.

Using binary units would also align nicely with the use of binary computing within our CPU architectures and align with the historical, and still current, usage of binary sizes for computer memory (both RAM and caches), file systems, software and hell even within underlying functionality of some storage devices (eg: sector and NAND sizes).

I recently found out that there is an SD Express standard which uses full a PCIe lane of bandwiidth like how an NVMe drives. I hope the next handhelds us SD Express as a 100MBs read speed is limiting.
This is definitely a pretty cool sd card. I dunno if I would actually need it for the Switch though since the games are a LOT smaller than other games and I buy mostly physical. I do have two highspeed 1Tb cards for two of my Switches because I do download some games that aren't available in physical form, or too expensive, or if it's just an Eshop-only release. As someone who used to save stuff to HDD and floppy disks, still I'm impressed with what we're able to do with storage capacity, cost, and physical size these days.
Its 199 on Amazon here in canada. I have the 1tb in my switch and a 1tb in my steam deck currently...also upgraded the SD to a 1tb internal drive. Im running all kinds of emulated titles on that thing. I will definitely pickup this 1.5tb card too for sure
I just purchased mine 1.5TB... roughly $50 per 500Mb which isn't bad, and have several Sandisk form Ultra, Extreme and Extreme Pro along with Samsung Evo and Pro. So far in recent years no problems... The Ultra write speeds are roughly half of that of the extreme and extreme pro based on my crystal disk benchmarks @ around 32mbs writes based on test setup. But for Switch or most mobile devices work great.. recommend the Extreme for 4K recording and above.
Hopefully, the next Nintendo console has express protocol support (sd express at 800+ mb/sec)for faster newer sd cards(more that 2 TB) when it becomes available.
they finally got 1.5 cards? nice. I've had a few 1TB cards when they dropped, oh so long ago....for my switch, deck, and my older phone (now my portable media device)
I've got a 1tb in my Switch, but that bitch is FULL! I've been waiting for something larger than a 1tb to be created and released, since the Switch is capable of up to 2tb cards, which don't even exist.
I started using Silicon Power SD cards and SSD drives. They seem to hold up pretty well and are a fraction of the price of other cards and SSDs. Maybe you would consider doing a review on some of their products sometime.
I think my current SD card is only a 400GB SanDisk, which I got back in 2019 for around $130 and it is nearly full at this point. Wouldn't mind getting that 1.5TB SD card for Black Friday or Christmas.
For everyone that says that buying physical is better than buying digital, you do realize there is absolutely no difference if it's on a Nintendo game card or digitally downloaded on a Micro SD card.... Sure if you lose the micro SD you lose all your games instead of just one..but with sizes as big as 1.5 TB I just leave it in my switch and never lose it unless I also lose my switch.
I remember back in 2008 my brother got a 1GB sd card for his phone, back then it was all 256MB cards and stuff, so seeing over 1,000,000KB of storage was insane, we use to record hundreds and hundreds of videos on it, seeing a 1.5TB sd card now would absolutely blow my younger self's mind
Awesome! I have a SanDisk 1 GB Extreme card for my SteamDeck and a SanDisk 1 GB Ultra for my Switch. Actually since this card reaches the upper limits of the micro SD card reader in the SteamDeck I might just upgrade to this. I already ungraded my SSD from 64 GB to 1 TB and even with my 1 TB micro SD card I am running out of space. I am no where near the limit in my Switch. To think there was a time when I thought a 1 GB harddrive in one of my first computers was large.
@@Sevicify Nice. I love that Nintendo it actually keeping physical media alive and I also love how they keep their game sizes relatively small especially when compared to the competition.
I'm running a 512gb card now having decimated my 256gb one and I'm a bit over 400 used so while I don't anticipate buying many more Switch games, I can see the use for the next system.
Bruh $150 for a 1.5tb micro SD? I bought the 1tb Micro SD when it first came out and I paid $400 for that baby lol (still use it!). Loving the competition in the storage world where prices keep dropping :D
1.5GB would sound like something a knock-off SD card would claim to have… I wonder how long until 2TB MicroSD cards hit the market. You’d theoretically have a 5TB Steam Deck in your hands.
Going to need one. of those when Switch one servers die and it become like the 3ds ,still have a few years to go tho no rush to grab one they are still pricey anyways.
Me, a cartridge enjoyer, who bought all games on cartridge for cheaper than on the digital store, with the possibility to resell them when I want and haven’t even bought an SD card and never worried about my switches memory filling up
It's the only 1.5TB microSD currently on the market. Western Digital and Samsung don't make bigger than 1TB. It takes 2hrs 23min to transfer 173GB and the size depends how it's formatted. exFAT is 1.39 or FAT32 1.40
I remember when the switch came out and they said the switch had support for up to 2 TB micro sd cards even though they didn't exist yet. I legit thought that by time they made 2 TB sd cards nintendo would have made a new console. I was wrong!
I don't think sd cards would be great for getting that super fast loading that ps5 and series x has. Since ssds are fairly small, having that internally on Next Gen Switch with an option for another ssd addon would be ideal. Maybe sd card support would be good for storing games mainly or BC with Switch.
7:15 "It does give you 1.3 terabytes." 5:06. it says right there: 1,535,.... bytes. It's more than 1.5 TB. *Somebody* doesn't know the difference between terabytes and tebibytes.
I say definitely buy this cause it's worth every penny as you'll probably never have to worry about space on your Switch ever again for the most part I have the Sandisk 1TB Micro SD Card and may never fill it up and that's ok cause it gives me peace of mind
dont think so. illogical to produce 2TB with far below their target capacity. but i do think 2TB is on their way same as when we got 400GB and 512GB was released few months apart.
@@wylerXL You don't _plan_ to produce below the target capacity, but the manufacturing is so precise and hence error prone that you're going to anyways. At that point, you can either throw out the chips as faulty, or you could say, "well 75% of the sectors seem to work, so just sell it as 1.5TB instead."

Nintendo said 2 months before the Switch launched that it’ll be able to support up to 2 TB of storage when they exist. Little did we know it wouldn’t be until the end of its VERY successful lifecycle that we get an 1.5 TB Micro SDXC card, with the 2 TB one having yet to come into existence. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until they do for the Switch 2! And people DEFINITELY won’t need it for the current Switch. 😂 Did get an 1 TB Micro SDXC for my Switch OLED the year it came out. This was when the shortages were still strong, so I consider myself very lucky when I got mine’s!!
Write speed is very low compared to theorical value. Not sure good idea for my lenovo legion go what do you think ? Greetings from switzerland. If its too low in your opinion which one do you recommand in 1 rera ? With good wtite result
I would love it for my 64gig steamdeck, the “other” storage space is gonna be really annoying though. My steamdeck is a GTAV, honey select 2, re4 remake machine at the moment
I think this kind of technology has been suppressed for decades. I remember working at Radio Shack back in 2005, and we had SD Cards that were up to 16GB (32GB months later). It literally took decades to see this kind of progress, and the speeds of SD cards haven't gotten any better. Sure, you can buy an SD cards that hold up to 1.5TB, but good luck using it for anything other than mass storage (such as music, movies, etc). It's not like the technology for higher transfer rates don't exist, but nearly every manufacturer refuses to sell these cards at higher capacity, because they get a lot more money from "professionals" who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for the added speed. We've been on the Class 10 transfer speed standard for well over fifteen years, and literally nothing ever changes. That's not what I would call progress.
@@lucyfrye6723 If you actually thought about it for more than two seconds, you would understand that it's in the best interest of storage manufacturers to delay the size and speed of their products for as long as possible, otherwise people wouldn't spend money on a new upgrade. Do you really need me to explain how technology and the free market works?
I just got mine for the Steam Deck about two days ago. That extra 500GB(roughly 400GB) is nice. Took forever to transfer everything from my previous SD Card though 😅
Hey JM! How long did it take you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m swapping everything over from my ~890GB old switch sd card to this one and it is taking until the end of time! I am even using the Sandisk USB 3.0 adapter that they recommend for use with this card and it is at 10 hours and counting!
@@JM-pm1yb ya that sounds about right JM, thanks for getting back to me. My transfer took even longer since I had more games, but I’m glad I was able to finish it successfully 👍🏼
Just wish they had a 2TB version for the Switch. Also a little sceptical about this 1.5TB Ultra card as some reviews on Amazon complain about the card being slow for loading Switch games, with one person stating they were going back to their 1TB Extreme Pro card because it was faster.
I remember the Sandisk 8 gigabyte SD Card costing like almost $100 in 2008-2009 and thinking to myself this is absolutely batshit crazy I have this much memory the size of a Pinky Nail! 1.5Tb SD Cards though? DAYUM!!!
I have a 1TB in my OLED Switch. I have 316GB of open space on it right now. I will probably pick up the 1.5TB when the next version of the Switch comes out.
I remember buying my first hard drive back in 286 days - it was 340 MB - that is right megabyte and it cost me $350. So yeah storage now is pretty amazing. I bought it because I only had a 20MB hd and bought a 20MB game - one of the Zork games.
I remember hearing the 3DS could only support up to 64 GB on an SD card no idea if that's true or not but I never filled up my 64 gig card. Yes that includes all the music I put on there.
I am just about full on my 1TB micro sd card, over 700 games, I think. Hoping when Nintendo releases the new console we’ll get more storage options. “Supposedly” has PS4 quality capabilities. May need to ditch the 32gb baseline
The new Nintendo system should have 2 micro SD slots or even 4 but at least 2 slots so we can expand the memory beyond 1 card capacity it would not be that difficult seeing as they have those Ipod upgrade boards that take mulitple micro Sd cardsa and combine it into one SSD like drive
I have a 1TB in my Switch (full) and another 512gb that I’ve separated VNs and walking simulators onto. It is a pain swopping them out so I’m really tempted by this. Hopefully it’ll drop in price to around £100 after six months or so.
i personally have a 1tb micro sd card in my switch light.. havent even came close to filling it up yet.. i bought it for obvious reasons.. buy a bunch of digital games and not have to carry around too many cartridges on those long trips and risk breaking/losing them.
I've had to clear space from my 400 GB card on my Switch. Part of me wants to upgrade but another thanks. I should wait to see what the Switch successor turns out to be and requires.
When it comes to the price, it's not that bad to me. I remember when I got my PSP, not at launch but maybe a year later, I also spent almost an extra $100 for a 1 gb memory stick. So yeah, $150 for 1.5 tb? Not that bad in my opinion.
1TB cards are $100. 512GB cards are $30. I just got three 512TB cards and called it good. It's never gotten near full since physical games are the way to go, but still.
I still wish every mobile device hat a full size SD card. The physical interface of full size SD is much easier to use, doesn't limit capacity (you can get 2TB or higher in SD cards but this 1.5TB is the maximum size for MicroSD), and full size has room on the card for better memory controllers. Full size SD could "potentially" even hold DRAM on card which greatly improves reliability, any time you go shopping for an SSD make sure it has a memory controller with DRAM (I wouldn't count on any SD card having DRAM right now though, but with MicroSD putting DRAM on the card is effectively an impossibility).
Peoe do not realize how important big volume Micro SD cards are. Absolutely most crazy thing is that you can literary put in there all of your photo and video archive at once. And your media archive will be with you all the time if you have some modern good Android tab. It is so shame that the best smartphone manufacturers abandoned to integrate Micro SD cards I to their flagship devices.

I started using Silicon Power SD cards and SSD drives. They seem to hold up pretty well and are a fraction of the price of other cards and SSDs. Maybe you would consider doing a review on some of their products sometime.
I think my current SD card is only a 400GB SanDisk, which I got back in 2019 for around $130 and it is nearly full at this point. Wouldn't mind getting that 1.5TB SD card for Black Friday or Christmas.
1.5T SD card exists because software/data is getting bigger. In the end, nothing really changes
I love the S3 on the packaging. I couldn't imagine having that much back then.
For everyone that says that buying physical is better than buying digital, you do realize there is absolutely no difference if it's on a Nintendo game card or digitally downloaded on a Micro SD card....
Sure if you lose the micro SD you lose all your games instead of just one..but with sizes as big as 1.5 TB I just leave it in my switch and never lose it unless I also lose my switch.
I remember back in 2008 my brother got a 1GB sd card for his phone, back then it was all 256MB cards and stuff, so seeing over 1,000,000KB of storage was insane, we use to record hundreds and hundreds of videos on it, seeing a 1.5TB sd card now would absolutely blow my younger self's mind
I wish Nintendo’s next system would let us use an m.2 ssd instead of us living with micro sd cards
Awesome! I have a SanDisk 1 GB Extreme card for my SteamDeck and a SanDisk 1 GB Ultra for my Switch. Actually since this card reaches the upper limits of the micro SD card reader in the SteamDeck I might just upgrade to this. I already ungraded my SSD from 64 GB to 1 TB and even with my 1 TB micro SD card I am running out of space. I am no where near the limit in my Switch. To think there was a time when I thought a 1 GB harddrive in one of my first computers was large.
I only have a 128 GB card in my Switch, not even using half of it since I still mostly buy physical games for it.
@@Sevicify Nice. I love that Nintendo it actually keeping physical media alive and I also love how they keep their game sizes relatively small especially when compared to the competition.
Just think...My Ally can now cook up to 1.5TB. What a time to live in!
We are actually getting closer to 2tb SD card!
Thanks for posting this video. I saw this on Amazon but was worried it might be fake (lots of dubious cards on Amazon). Appreciate knowing it's legit.
The nice thing about the 1.5 TB showing up is that the 1 TB will drop in price a lot.
I'm running a 512gb card now having decimated my 256gb one and I'm a bit over 400 used so while I don't anticipate buying many more Switch games, I can see the use for the next system.
Thanks for having us, we're glad you enjoyed VITURE One! 😎
Bruh $150 for a 1.5tb micro SD? I bought the 1tb Micro SD when it first came out and I paid $400 for that baby lol (still use it!). Loving the competition in the storage world where prices keep dropping :D
1.5GB would sound like something a knock-off SD card would claim to have…
I wonder how long until 2TB MicroSD cards hit the market. You’d theoretically have a 5TB Steam Deck in your hands.
This card will definitely be the one I get for the next Nintendo console when it comes out.
Going to need one. of those when Switch one servers die and it become like the 3ds ,still have a few years to go tho no rush to grab one they are still pricey anyways.
Only real ones remember when Spawn Wave threw his hammer at a fake SD Card and put a hole in his wall 💯
Me, a cartridge enjoyer, who bought all games on cartridge for cheaper than on the digital store, with the possibility to resell them when I want and haven’t even bought an SD card and never worried about my switches memory filling up
I remember being absolutely STOKED when I got an 8MB memory card for my PlayStation. 😅
It's the only 1.5TB microSD currently on the market. Western Digital and Samsung don't make bigger than 1TB. It takes 2hrs 23min to transfer 173GB and the size depends how it's formatted. exFAT is 1.39 or FAT32 1.40
I remember when the switch came out and they said the switch had support for up to 2 TB micro sd cards even though they didn't exist yet. I legit thought that by time they made 2 TB sd cards nintendo would have made a new console. I was wrong!
Modded switch with the sd card:
Absolutely amazing 🎉
I don't think sd cards would be great for getting that super fast loading that ps5 and series x has. Since ssds are fairly small, having that internally on Next Gen Switch with an option for another ssd addon would be ideal. Maybe sd card support would be good for storing games mainly or BC with Switch.
7:15 "It does give you 1.3 terabytes."
5:06. it says right there: 1,535,.... bytes. It's more than 1.5 TB.
*Somebody* doesn't know the difference between terabytes and tebibytes.
I say definitely buy this cause it's worth every penny as you'll probably never have to worry about space on your Switch ever again for the most part
I have the Sandisk 1TB Micro SD Card and may never fill it up and that's ok cause it gives me peace of mind
wasnt there something about bigger cards potentially getting too hot?
That issue has been solved for years now
I'm curious about if this is actually a 2TB card with a lot of reserved/redundant or bad sectors
dont think so. illogical to produce 2TB with far below their target capacity. but i do think 2TB is on their way same as when we got 400GB and 512GB was released few months apart.
@@wylerXL You don't _plan_ to produce below the target capacity, but the manufacturing is so precise and hence error prone that you're going to anyways. At that point, you can either throw out the chips as faulty, or you could say, "well 75% of the sectors seem to work, so just sell it as 1.5TB instead."
I didn't know SD cards could get this big. Pretty reasonable price too. I guess Terabyte flash drives and DS cards are no longer prototypes.
Me paying €35 for a 4gb usb drive in 2009...
It's on sale now for Black Friday on Amazon for $120. I pulled the trigger and bought it for my ROG Ally.
I own over 1000 digital games on my Nintendo switch so I had to purchase a second switch and I’m running multiple 1 TB cards just to be able to archive my entire digital library on my switch over multiple cards
Silicon Power Superior has an A2 1tb for 61 bucks. Black Friday is gonna make it forty or thirty five bucks I think. I just picked up a 2tb NVM for SteamDeck for 130, Micron
How is that working ? Where did you purchase it ?
@@blastu2fool great, Amazon. I've ordered from Amazon a bunch so I know what to look for when watching out for scammers and I've been very satisfied with my purchases in past
Nintendo said 2 months before the Switch launched that it’ll be able to support up to 2 TB of storage when they exist. Little did we know it wouldn’t be until the end of its VERY successful lifecycle that we get an 1.5 TB Micro SDXC card, with the 2 TB one having yet to come into existence.
Hopefully it won’t be much longer until they do for the Switch 2! And people DEFINITELY won’t need it for the current Switch. 😂
Did get an 1 TB Micro SDXC for my Switch OLED the year it came out. This was when the shortages were still strong, so I consider myself very lucky when I got mine’s!!
Write speed is very low compared to theorical value. Not sure good idea for my lenovo legion go what do you think ? Greetings from switzerland. If its too low in your opinion which one do you recommand in 1 rera ? With good wtite result
With my 400+ Switch games in my library ( mostly digital) this will come in handy! 😅
If the NG Switch is backwards compatible, I will be getting this SD card here. Decided that months ago already.
I would love it for my 64gig steamdeck, the “other” storage space is gonna be really annoying though. My steamdeck is a GTAV, honey select 2, re4 remake machine at the moment
With the amount of Switch games I have, even 1.5Tb isn’t enough. 2Tb would be nice (or the ability to plug in USB external drives).
I think this kind of technology has been suppressed for decades. I remember working at Radio Shack back in 2005, and we had SD Cards that were up to 16GB (32GB months later). It literally took decades to see this kind of progress, and the speeds of SD cards haven't gotten any better. Sure, you can buy an SD cards that hold up to 1.5TB, but good luck using it for anything other than mass storage (such as music, movies, etc). It's not like the technology for higher transfer rates don't exist, but nearly every manufacturer refuses to sell these cards at higher capacity, because they get a lot more money from "professionals" who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for the added speed. We've been on the Class 10 transfer speed standard for well over fifteen years, and literally nothing ever changes. That's not what I would call progress.
LOL. That made me laugh so hard. Stay vigilant and don't let the sd card mafia take over the planet. And Radio Shack is in it too. WHO KNEW?
@@lucyfrye6723 If you actually thought about it for more than two seconds, you would understand that it's in the best interest of storage manufacturers to delay the size and speed of their products for as long as possible, otherwise people wouldn't spend money on a new upgrade. Do you really need me to explain how technology and the free market works?
I just got mine for the Steam Deck about two days ago. That extra 500GB(roughly 400GB) is nice.
Took forever to transfer everything from my previous SD Card though 😅
Hey JM! How long did it take you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m swapping everything over from my ~890GB old switch sd card to this one and it is taking until the end of time!
I am even using the Sandisk USB 3.0 adapter that they recommend for use with this card and it is at 10 hours and counting!
@@hdroid18 it took roughly 6 to 7 hours for my transfers to complete
@@JM-pm1yb ya that sounds about right JM, thanks for getting back to me. My transfer took even longer since I had more games, but I’m glad I was able to finish it successfully 👍🏼
I am waiting for the 2TB
Just wish they had a 2TB version for the Switch. Also a little sceptical about this 1.5TB Ultra card as some reviews on Amazon complain about the card being slow for loading Switch games, with one person stating they were going back to their 1TB Extreme Pro card because it was faster.
I remember the Sandisk 8 gigabyte SD Card costing like almost $100 in 2008-2009 and thinking to myself this is absolutely batshit crazy I have this much memory the size of a Pinky Nail! 1.5Tb SD Cards though? DAYUM!!!
I have a 1TB in my OLED Switch. I have 316GB of open space on it right now. I will probably pick up the 1.5TB when the next version of the Switch comes out.
2:54 1.5TB of storage on a tiny card, wow.
I remember buying my first hard drive back in 286 days - it was 340 MB - that is right megabyte and it cost me $350. So yeah storage now is pretty amazing. I bought it because I only had a 20MB hd and bought a 20MB game - one of the Zork games.
But also there's just more data in today's video games AND videos and photos even
I remember hearing the 3DS could only support up to 64 GB on an SD card no idea if that's true or not but I never filled up my 64 gig card. Yes that includes all the music I put on there.
Ive had a 1.5 tb card over a year. Micron released theirs in 2022
This is gonna be hot for the next Switch. But when would even be a good time to buy it?
Might be overkill for my Switch, but will for sure pick one up for my Steam Deck.
just got it on sale for $110 😎
I remember when I didn’t know about all the small issues with SD cards and I got absolutely scammed. I paid too much money for a fake one.
Plus, I did that thing where it would erase the old data
I am just about full on my 1TB micro sd card, over 700 games, I think. Hoping when Nintendo releases the new console we’ll get more storage options. “Supposedly” has PS4 quality capabilities. May need to ditch the 32gb baseline
Pricy, but I have bad hands. The idea of just not having to fiddle with multiple cards sounds nice.
As the storage size ceiling keeps getting pushed, the bang-for-buck selection will also become better and better. Win win.
The new Nintendo system should have 2 micro SD slots or even 4 but at least 2 slots so we can expand the memory beyond 1 card capacity
it would not be that difficult seeing as they have those Ipod upgrade boards that take mulitple micro Sd cardsa and combine it into one SSD like drive
Grabbed it on a Prime Day sale for about $90 (this including the tax, before it was around $80)
I have a 1TB in my Switch (full) and another 512gb that I’ve separated VNs and walking simulators onto. It is a pain swopping them out so I’m really tempted by this. Hopefully it’ll drop in price to around £100 after six months or so.
i personally have a 1tb micro sd card in my switch light.. havent even came close to filling it up yet.. i bought it for obvious reasons.. buy a bunch of digital games and not have to carry around too many cartridges on those long trips and risk breaking/losing them.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Wow 1.5tb of storage in such a small chip?! Impressive!
Right?? And it's awesome to think how we all had almost the same reaction to the first >1TB HDD!
Just curious could this work with the micro SD adapter for ps vita?
I've had to clear space from my 400 GB card on my Switch. Part of me wants to upgrade but another thanks. I should wait to see what the Switch successor turns out to be and requires.
This is nice that size released. At the moment. I am fine with me 1Tb on my switch and 2Tb on my Steam Deck.
When it comes to the price, it's not that bad to me. I remember when I got my PSP, not at launch but maybe a year later, I also spent almost an extra $100 for a 1 gb memory stick. So yeah, $150 for 1.5 tb? Not that bad in my opinion.
Lol, I can remember when we where able to format more than 1.44mb on a floppy card with elite hax and we thought we where porn stars.
1TB cards are $100. 512GB cards are $30. I just got three 512TB cards and called it good. It's never gotten near full since physical games are the way to go, but still.
512tb? 😂
I remember paying $200 for a 1 GB pro stick duo for my psp in 2005. 1.5 TB is crazy!
I bought the 200gb one in 2017, came out a few months before the switch came out. Upgraded to the 400gb in 2019.
you could probably download every first party nintendo game with that storage
That is such unbelievably huge storage, you could fit over 250 Mario Odyssey's on the card.
If that 1.5 TB SD card compatible with my Nintendo Switch Lite, that is something I like putting all the possible Arcade Achieves video games.
I still wish every mobile device hat a full size SD card.
The physical interface of full size SD is much easier to use, doesn't limit capacity (you can get 2TB or higher in SD cards but this 1.5TB is the maximum size for MicroSD), and full size has room on the card for better memory controllers. Full size SD could "potentially" even hold DRAM on card which greatly improves reliability, any time you go shopping for an SSD make sure it has a memory controller with DRAM (I wouldn't count on any SD card having DRAM right now though, but with MicroSD putting DRAM on the card is effectively an impossibility).
Peoe do not realize how important big volume Micro SD cards are. Absolutely most crazy thing is that you can literary put in there all of your photo and video archive at once. And your media archive will be with you all the time if you have some modern good Android tab. It is so shame that the best smartphone manufacturers abandoned to integrate Micro SD cards I to their flagship devices.
Yeah, we went forwards and backwards in tech. It's the greedy companies forcing everyone to buy more expensive higher memory capacity phones.
