Micron Launches 1TB Industrial-Grade microSD Card for Cloud-Managed Video Surveillance
Micron Technology, Inc. today unveiled the Micron i300 1TB3 microSDXC UHS-I, a high-capacity, industrial microSD card designed for the edge storage needs of the video surveillance market and other industrial applications.
The Micron i300 1TB microSD card is based on Micron’s 96-layer 3D quad-level cell (QLC) NAND technology. The card allows 24/7 continuous capture and storage of up to 1TB of high-quality video in the camera.
The VSaaS market is projected to reach $6 billion in 2022, corresponding to a growth of 22% compound annual growth rate between 2017 and 2022. The rising adoption of VSaaS by small to medium businesses and enterprises is attributed to lower overhead costs achieved through ease of installation and elimination of the need for on-site NVRs and DVRs. The ability to store large video footage files in the camera and at the edge reduces the demand for network bandwidth and expenditure associated with continuous cloud storage.
The Micron i300 1TB microSDXC card minimizes frame drops in a 24/7, 30 frames per second (FPS) recording environment, offering twice the reliability of hard disk drives at 2 million hours mean time to failure. The card features a smart tool for monitoring the health of devices.
The Micron i300 microSDXC UHS-I card is offered in 128GB to 1TB capacities, which are available for ordering.
