It Sure Sounds Like SanDisk’s World’s First 8TB SD Cards (and 4TB microSD Cards) Are on the Way

SanDisk 8TB SD Cards

According to reporting from Photo Rumors, it sounds like the company has officially confirmed that 8TB full-size SDUC and 4TB microSDUC cards are on the way, as revealed at Computex 2026.

These cards were announced all the way back in 2024, as we covered before, and were expected to be released sometime in 2025. However, as we all know, that didn’t happen. And without getting into unverified details, there have been many issues in the storage world over the past few years, so it isn’t too surprising.

However, according to these same reports, these new world-first cards in terms of size capabilities are “on track to ship shortly.”

What Comes Next

Now, without getting ahead of ourselves, as we’re as excited as anyone to check out these new 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards and consider adding them to our own shooting workflows once released, if and when these cards come out, it will likely spark some new conversations.

For one, it also sounds like, once released, it could be relieving to know that these cards might not be backward compatible with existing SDXC readers and devices, and that they might require next-gen SD Express readers.

Also, once released, the discussion will likely shift immediately to asking what the next plateau for SD and microSD cards will be in terms of storage capabilities. 16TB, 32TB, where will we end up in the next few years?

We don’t know just yet; let’s wait for these new cards to be released first, but we’re excited to see where things go from here.
