hamandchris··on SanDisk 1-terabyte microSD card is now available
The other day I was removing a MicroSD card and the spring caused it to be shot across the room, where I still haven't found it. I've also snapped them in half on multiple occasions. So no, I do not wish to be anywhere near a $450 MicroSD card.
