Massive 8TB SD cards are set to ship 'shortly' after a two-year delay — mind-blowing storage at possibly bank-breaking prices
High-capacity 8TB SD cards, first announced in 2024, are reportedly nearing release after a two-year delay. These cards will adhere to the SDUC standard, which supports capacities from 2TB up to 128TB, but will require new hardware and card readers for compatibility. While specific launch dates and pricing remain unconfirmed, estimates suggest the 8TB models could cost upwards of $2,200, similar to the pricing of current 2TB cards. AI
