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] by Micron 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's microSD card as primary storage for apps will give users data Real-time AI and faster decision-making in smart cameras and other devices.
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 traffic signs or facial recognition.
The microSD is made with Micron 3D NAND 176 level technology, which the company has been using since the end of 2020.
