Chipmaker Micron released a microSD with a capacity of 1,5 TB, enough to hold four months of continuous security camera footage, according to the company.
The new i400 [PDF] was announced at the Embedded World 2022 conference in Nuremberg, Germany, and is said to be the microSD card with the highest capacity to date.
With a capacity of up to 1,5 TB, the i400 microSD card is suitable for video storage (it can store up to 120 days of security video locally).
Beyond security videos, there are many other applications in everyday life and IoT where large amounts of data will need to be stored, managed and analyzed, rather than simply transmitted to a central data repository for processing.
Micron claims that using the i400 microSD card as primary storage for apps will give users real-time AI data and faster λήψη decisions in smart cameras and other devices.
The i400 can simultaneously handle 4K video recordings with "up to eight artificial intelligence events per second," according to Micron, which obviously means simultaneously accessing application data for non-object detection such as license plates or face recognition.
The microSD is manufactured with Micron's 3-layer 176D NAND technology, which the company uses from the end of 2020.
