Chipmaker Micron has released a 1,5 TB microSD, enough to hold four months of continuous video recording from a security camera, 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).
In addition to security videos, there are many other applications in everyday life and in the IoT where large volumes of data need to be stored, managed and analyzed, rather than simply transmitted to a central repository for processing.
Micron claims that using the i400's microSD card as primary storage for apps will offer the users real-time AI insights and faster smart decision-making cameras and others Appliances.
The i400 can handle simultaneous 4K video recording with “up to eight AI events per second,” according to Micron, which apparently means simultaneous access to application data to detect objects like license plates or recognition face.
The microSD is made with Micron 3D NAND 176 level technology, which the company has been using since the end of 2020.
