I'm very interested in the price for the 1 terabyte card. SanDisk just announced a 1 terabyte micro SD card with an MSRP of $449, that I saw for pre-order yesterday at an online vendor for $470, and today, at the same vendor, that price listing jumped to $564.
Wonder what was the value in killing the Lexar brand that was already build up as premium and rebooting later under the Micron brand.
Lexar is now owned by Longsys who will undobtedly make good use of the former glory in the name (just like other Chinese companies did with Polaroid, Alcatel, BlackBerry, etc.).
QLC nand? Yikes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That doesn't bode well for endurance or cold storage. I imagine these things will slow waaay down if they're >80% full just like QLC SSD's. Really curious to see the estimated longevity in TBW.
