KIOXIA Develops Industry’s First Prototype 2TB microSD Card

KIOXIA Corporation has announced its first ever 2TB working prototype microSDXC memory card, first seen in industry. The company’s BiCS FLASH 3D and in-house controller has achieved this feat which maxed out the microSDXC’s specification of 2TB as its maximum density.

Despite the SDXC specification being set by SD Association for more than a decade, the 2TB microSD cards were not developed prior to this prototype – which is made by stacking sixteen 1-terabit dies of 3D flash memory and achieve a maximum thickness of 0.8 mm at the die mounting area – making them well-suited to high-capacity data recording applications.

Mass production of the KIOXIA 2TB microSDXC memory cards is expected to begin in 2023.
