    Oh my lorde.

  • +18

    What an odd capacity….

    • +3

      I got the impression they couldn't fit that final 56gb in there :/ those things are tiny after all.

      • +2

        I would love to see the vertically stacked 3D NAND flash memory array under a microscope and compare it with something we had back in the days when flash memory topped out at 32megs. Storage tech is progressing so fast these days..

        • +9

          I still don't even understand 3D Nand, I keep reading about it but it just baffles me.
          "omg omg omg we're so doomed, we gotta go to smaller lithography, which means flash will wear out fast and it blowssssss"
          Suddenly they can go back to 40nm and stack it on top of itself - shouldn't it be at least physically taller? or hotter?
          Isn't the pins the same? So it's kinda going to become slower? because the signalling pin to memory size ratio is out?
          I dunno, I don't understand the stuff. Good tho

        • +3

          In my day you didn't need a microscope to see a 3D array:

        • @hamwhisperer:

          Lol someone was playing vertical Scrabble and thought "Hang on…!"

      • I remember googling this when I first saw the 200GB arrive >12 months ago, I remember thinking it must be a chinese fake coz SanDisk would never release such an odd sized MicroSD. Turns out you are spot on, current technology prevented them reaching 256GB. I suspect they can probably far exceed that mark now (256-512GB) but market demand would be another thing.

        So yep, your impression was correct.

      Funny and disrespectful at the same time.

      Well played.

  • +4

    If your phone can't handle the capacity, get a new one

    Goodness. Does Sandisk expect us to toss away our iPhones and Nexus's with no SD storage?

  • +1

    In 2 year this card is 1/4 of this price.

    • +4

      not until after the 512GB one comes out.

      • I wouldn't doubt the current existence of 512Gb or even 1Tb. Just a matter of market viability

  • +3

    Which android phone supports this card?

    • +1

      LG G4

    • +2

      Sony M4, Z4, C5, M5, Z5 & variants

    • +1

      HTC One A9, Desire 828, 626, 526

    • Been using it with my HTC One M8 and M9 for 8 months, no problem at all

    • Any phone that supports the microSDXC standard should be able to support up to 2TB microSD cards (whenever they eventually come onto market), or basically this one as its the current highest capacity.

  • Anyone know if SJCam Action Cams would support this?

  • +6

    +vote for deal description effort

    • +2

      Yep.. got me with the "It comes with an SD card adaptor which makes this a real bargain." .. sold.

  • +5

    Wow! So big!

    That's what she said

  • Maybe this is a silly question but are the Micro SD cards sold on eBay (Sandisk as well) the same or are they known to be duplicates? It's hard to tell because although cheap and the sellers seem to have good enough feedback (99.5-99.9%) the listings seem suspicious with a lot of superimposed watermarks and australian flags.

  • +4

    why don't they make 256GB? 200GB just breaks the pattern… 8,16,32,64,128…200!

    • If they could, they would?

    • So they can milk the cow longer

    • Their official explanation was technology didn't allow 256GB at the time. Whilst 200GB sounds new, this MicroSD has been around for awhile.

      Market viability would be the reason nothing has happened since, plus the second 256GB comes out nobody will want the odd 200GB step (aka milking the cow)

  • +2

    At first I thought this was $222 for the 2TB micro sd card. $222 for 200GB is a little less impressive.

    • +2

      yes, but this is still smaller than your finger nail.

      • A 2TB micro sd card is the same size as any other micro sd card.

        • i meant, the smallest 2TB storage you will currently get is about the size of an external hard-drive. Whilst 200GB is small in comparison, the size of the microsd card is also super small. It's still pretty impressive.

    • There's probably about 32GB worth of redundancy on this card that allows the bad blocks to be reallocated to this reserve. This is usually the same reason why SSD's sometimes comes in odd amounts too (eg. 480GB = 512GB with redundancy).

    • $222 for 200GB is a little less impressive.

      It's not the size, it's how you use it.

  • Lord of the NAND - the (micro) Flash to rule them all!

    What a time to be alive, back in my day…

    • Back in my day we had 64kb of RAM! And we loved it! (no, we didn't, it was annoying)

  • -3

    Why would you want that much storage? My only thoughts would be a dash camera but for a mobile phone the capacity is overkill and if I am correct the speed is not that fast.

    • +1

      Not overkill if you take a lot of photos/videos on your phone, and/or if you want to load your whole large/flac music library or lots of videos on your phone.

      Or if you want to add more storage for media on an ultrabook/tablet/MacBook/etc.

      Or if you want to use it in a DSLR or video camera.

      Or if you want to use it in a wifi usb drive for sharing media to an iPad/tablet/laptop/etc.

      Or if you want to use it in an audiophile grade DAP (Astel & Kern).

      There are many reasons one might want a 200gb card…

      • +2

        To stash massive amounts sensitive info. Off the line even off the cloud, could hide virtually anywhere.

        • +4

          To stash pr0n and hide virtually anywhere.

          Fixed it for you! :)

          @caprimulgus: Tanks. :)

    • Replace a broken hdd in an 160gb iPod classic (exactly what I plan to do one day with a 200gb or larger microsd).

      • +1

        PROTIP: If you got the right iPod, go an SSD
        http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/407552,how-to-revive-your…

        • EVEN-MORE-PROTIP: m-sata SSD is the way to go for higher capacities (greater than 512GB), however the battery life is not as good as SD, and the speed increase is negligible (faster to load files onto the device, but negligible in usage). see Tarkan's (the guy who makes the m-sata/SD/CF adapters) website for his own benchmark testing. ;)

          but yeah, for 512GB+ definitely SSD is the way to go. for 256GB (1x256GB or 2x128GB) or 512GB (2x256GB), i would probably go for dual or single SD.

          https://www.tarkan.info/20150921/tutorials/modding/runtime-s…

          Conclusion

          I think all the devices performed well and will provide most users with plenty of musical enjoyment between charges, and how far are you from a USB charge port in your day-to-day life?

          I should point out mSata drives have varying levels of power consumption, several mSata drives in the 240Gb – 256Gb range will return runtimes approaching that of the HDD. In the 500Gb range again there is varying power consumption levels to contend with.

          The single SDXC and DUAL returned excellent runtimes, and I think the DUAL requires a special mention – considering in this test you have double the capacity but only a 15% reduction in runtime, the MP3 playlist on a single SDXC running for over 49hours, while the DUAL managing an impressive 43hours.

          With mSata, you do trade runtime for the best price per GB, which maybe the choice you have to make if you need the highest capacity while keeping costs down. However the iFlash-DUAL does challenge this idea – 2 x 256Gb SDXC can be bought for less than the price of a single 512Gb mSata!!!

        • @caprimulgus:
          Interesting! I was looking at a 1Tb conversion, but in the end I found I had the 6th Gen Classic, not the 7th.
          Disappointing. Maybe should have considered the 2x 256Gb SDXC.
          Ended up opting for a Fiio X5 Gen2. (So loving the price drop / capacity increase on these microSD's).

    this just aint right, i would look at it and think i got ripped off wondering where the other 56gb is gone.

    Who would need this much space on their phones? Just put your porn collection somewhere else :)

    How can they cramp so much in such a small space?

    • +5

      Are you talking about the porn or the SD card?

      • Haha, I mean the electronic circuits.

  • Does anyone know if this card is compatible with Surface Pro 3?
    Officially MS said it supports up to 128G SDXC …and my 128G SDXC card is now full …

    Thanks.

    • +1

      your best bet is to go with samsung. Sandisk has issues on Surface Pro devices they tend to randomly dismount probably cause sandisk cards are thinner than normal microsd cards

  • Anyone know if this will work with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver?

  • +1

    2×128 gb microsd card cost less and more compatable to most devices. Although 200gb is much easier to carry :p

  • "The actual usable storage is 183 GB"

    • That's down to the difference in what storage manufacturers define as a GB, and what a computer defines as a GB. There's some dishonesty going on, but the manufacturers are honest about their dishonesty. They do print it somewhere on the box that 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. It's just that your device defines 1GB as 1024^3 bytes, which means you will get less than the 200GB advertised.

      Neither side is going to change their definition. It's too late now.

  • Thanks op. Just what I was looking for.

  • Is this for real?

  • i'm in love now!!!

  • Australia won't be able to handle this technology for another 5 years
    I can see a lot of blown devices, I hope people have their warranty before usage.

  • I remembered paying over $160 for a 64MB Multimedia Card; that was about 15 years ago I think.

    • Let it go, time to move on

      :)
