Here's a challenge: do you reckon you can fill half-a-terabyte of memory using only a smartphone?

For some people, we're sure, the answer will be along the lines of “hold my beer while I set my camera to HDR mode and snap some selfies”. So the good news is that from February, you'll be able to lay out the readies on a 512 GB microSDXC card from Integral Memory.

At a transfer rate of 80 megabytes per second, you'd need more than an hour and a half to transfer a full card's worth of data; last year's 400 GB monster from SanDisk (no longer the world's biggest little memory card) still has the edge there, claiming a 100 MB/second transfer rate.

Integral's 512GB microSDXC V10, UHS-I U1 card is fast enough to meet V10 (Video speed class 10) for capturing full HD video.

Integral has put up a web page and a Spec sheet (pdf) for it.

Now we can set them up as media hubs for all.

    Android supports removable Flash media which is great. Unfortunately, you can't *truly* put apps on the SD card. Sure, there is an option to do so, but it usually only moves a small percentage of the actual data onto the card. So I have a 16GB internal memory on my S5, and I have a 1GB app, with 100MB of that app is on the SD card. I'll upgrade to a new Android phone and buy a bigger SD once they fix this. Until then, most of what I need the SD card for is wasted.

    Android now supports mounting the SD cards as removable media or mount as system. Meaning format the card to ext3/4 and mount it where programs are stored. Expanding internal memory.

        No need. Put a new blank SD card and it will ask you to format for external removable or expand internal memory.
