Lexar's 1TB SD card is the first you can actually buy

SanDisk showed off a 1TB SD prototype a couple of years ago, but the final product never made it to market. Lexar's Professional 633x line of SDHC and SDXC UHS-I cards, however, is now listed for sale in capacities from 16GB all the way up to the flagship 1TB. That card claims read speeds of up to 95MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s, though it's only rated as V30/U3, which guarantees sustained write performance of 30MB/s.

(Not microSD.)

    How I can't store 120 dvds on my cell phone, and how completely unreasonable that is

      Man, I can barely see the difference between 720p and 1080p on a huge screen. I don't know who the target audience for 4k is, besides maybe VR.

      Do you really need more than 10 4K porn movies in your change pocket at once? Given the weight, you can carry more than one card, then.

    My unit of storage measurement is in .mp3s. What's the conversion?
