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.)

You rushed out, broke the piggy bank, and dragged home this 1TB SD card.
Inserts into device (camera / drivecam / whatever).
And then you discover that device tops out at 32GB or 64GB.
The makers of gadgetery should be held liable in court for this.
It is just storage. It should work like D:"hey, here's a file" S:"fine" D:"Ok, here's a file" S:"I'm full" D:"Oh, card full error"
because a lot of the time it is more D:"here's a file" S:"ok" D:"I'm full, blame it on the card"

Those darn engineers and their addressing optimizations ... Everything should be at least 128b, I say !

Well, it's not that simple, is it?
And if you get a 4 to 128 TB card in the future, you'll need a new device in order to read all of that memory.

yeah, well, the sdhc spec has a line in it that says "a card shall not report a capacity larger than 64gb", so they're just following the spec to which they were designed.
