2TB SanDisk memory card card surfaces for eye-watering $2,000 — top-tier Extreme Pro UHS-II SD promises more than 300 MB/s sequential read and write performance

SanDisk has released a 2TB Extreme Pro UHS-II SD card with impressive sequential read and write speeds of up to 310 MB/s and 305 MB/s, respectively, targeting professional videographers and photographers working with high-resolution content. Priced at a steep $1,999.99, this card is significantly more expensive than lower-tier options but offers superior performance. The current chip shortage may be contributing to the high cost of manufacturing SD cards, prompting companies to focus on premium products with higher price points. While this card may be worth the investment for users requiring top-notch speed and capacity, it may be excessive for others who can opt for more affordable alternatives.
