Lexar Unveils the World's First MicroSD Card with A2 and 512GB Ratings

Fatima Ait Taleb – Dubai – Lexar has announced "the world's largest MicroSD A2 card". No, it still has 512 GB, but what sets it apart from other MicroSD cards with the same capacity is its Application Performance Class 2 rating.

This MicroSD card is enhanced to transfer applications and games from the phone's internal volume to the card. In such cases, I / O operations are much more important than reading and serial writing. The "Application Performance Class 2" classification guarantees a reading speed of 4000 inputs / outputs per second and a write speed of 2000 inputs / outputs per second.

The new Lexar MicroSD card is also useful for videos. It can easily handle 4K video recording function thanks to the V30 classification. This indicates that the card can handle a continuous write of 30 Mbps. Note that some cards deal with 100 Mbps of write, but can not keep this rate for a long time.

Samsung's recently launched 512GB MicroSD EVO Plus card has the UHS-I U3 rating, but not the A2 rating. Overall, Lexar's new 512 GB MicroSD card is available for purchase at $ 300 and should be available at select stores.
