Sandisk 200GB micro sd

makes me think that sandisk is in a tough spot, ALL other memory goes in double size increments,
why they would make this instead of a 256?
not to mention at nearly $500

It's going to take a while before this goes down in price and to make sense, cause right now it clearly doesn't. Considering the total price of two 128GB MicroSD cards is half the price of this 200GB microSD card. and tablets / phones are just starting to support 128GB Micro SD Cards. people are going to buy this for no reason cause it's not going to work on any of their devices right now, or at least not yet till manufacturers release an update for their devices.

still kudos for Sandisk for pushing these out, but right the price doesn't justify or make sense for the amount of GB.

i cant rightly say good job
instead of waiting for the chips to actually double in density like normal.
they took their existing line and bastardized the standard
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
they did this as some publicity stunt

I don't think it's a publicity stunt, and i don't think this being 200GB instead of 256GB really matters. it's already a massive capacity to realistically have in a phone or tablet anyways. For people who hard-core game on their android devices this is where something like this would be reasonable. A Perfect example for something like this is for the Nvidia Shield Portable / Nvidia Shield Tablet, You're going to have Music on it, Games from emulators on it, which range from 2 to 4GBs and android games which are already pushing it when it comes to storage. so personally it doesn't really matter. And to be blunt, i don't see you complaining about 1TB SSD Drives or 500GB SSD storage devices which according to you "Bastardize the standard cause they don't follow the "1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 numbers in density" are people going to buy it? absolutely.. does it make sense right now? No. but it will later on.

when have they ever followed that same size scheme ?
thats a completely different topic.
but yes, i do think that hard disks should conform to that same logic, as well, AND itd be nice if it was that size AFTER a format was written to that device, but thats a different topic
ps, why try to direct that at me in the first place, im not looking for an argument

Still amazed by how much storage can be packed into such a little space.
Especially when the first HDD held 3MB and weighed over 2000lbs.
