The doors to the NAB Show 2024 open tomorrow, and from what we can see Sandisk came to this encounter well loaded with heavy artillery (although in fact, due to its weight and size, we should classify it as a lightweight) Recall that the NAB Show is one of the most important events in the audiovisual sector, and since 1991 it has been concentrated in the Las Vegas Convention Center, many companies that provide technological tools , with which the idea becomes a blockbuster.

This type of session usually focuses on recording, editing, and post-production equipment, and generally tools that allow you to capture and edit. However, all these devices would be of little or no use, some with prices that leave more than one mouth open, without others that, although less glamorous, play a vital role in each of the above processes. And in this list we must undoubtedly include everything related to storage.

Here comes Western Digital, both with its own brand and with Sandisk, both references in this market, and a few hours after the official opening of NAB Show 2024 announced the first SD memory card with a capacity of 4 terabytes. This is a 4TB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDUC. THE company will show the first units of this card at the event, although its commercialization is not planned until 2025.

This is not the only notable announcement as the tech company has also announced 2TB SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I and 2TB SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I, which also become the first SDXC UHS memory cards to achieve such a storage capacity. Both cards, which will also not be at the event, will go on sale throughout next summer through the usual distributors.

The proliferation of small devices that are more accessible than large traditional cameras, together with the growing demand for high and ultra-high definition content, require storage media that also offer great capacity, speed and of course all in a really small size, a demand that will undoubtedly be met with the arrival of these new SD cards on the professional market. And as we could already see in the WD_Black SN770M PCIe SSD review, Western Digital has a high degree of specialization in offering high-performance storage solutions in particularly small solutions.
