Experience the feeling of holding 400GB of data on your fingertips

Many technological items - from a PC with an 18-core processor to a super-sized VR headset - will be presented at the IFA event in Berlin, Germany. But maybe a few items match the SanDisk 400GB microSD card.

It is just a memory card and the capacity is nothing too terrible. But keep in mind that this 400GB memory card has only about the size of a nail. Its capacity is 3 times larger than a regular MacBook Pro.

You will be surprised by the amount of data that can be stored in such a small thing. It's amazing how SanDisk can put such a large amount of data into such a small card.

Here are some small calculations about this 400GB.

1. About 400,000 e-books (an average of 1MB per book).
2. About 200,000 photos (photos taken on the iPhone 7 12 megapixel average of 2MB a photo).
3. About 100,000 songs on iTunes (an average of 4MB a song with an average of 4 minutes).
4. About 88 Full HD movies from iTunes (an average of 4.5GB a movie).
5. About 16 Blu-Rays movies (25GB an average).

It may not sound like a lot at first, but compare it to the popular 32GB memory cards, which contain only 16,000 photos, 8,000 songs and 7 Full HD movies.

The world's largest microSD memory card previously had 256GB capacity, which is only about half of this new record card. It is a big breakthrough in technology, especially when you compare it to storage only 2 years ago.

In short, you can store a lot of things on this memory card, maybe more than you need. It can hold hours of 4K video and even open the road for 8K videos.

This 400GB microSD card is priced at $ 250 but is still much cheaper than the 200GB microSD that costs $ 400 in 2015.
