WD is prepping 8TB SD cards and 16TB external drives

Consider it a sign of how far storage demands have come — Western Digital’s SanDisk brand will soon launch an 8TB, SDUC UHS-I card, said to be the first of its kind. The product was one of several WD announcements at the 2024 Future Memory and Storage Conference, which took place this week in Santa Clara, California. 8TB is larger than the internal drives on most PCs, which could potentially make it a one-and-done option for audiences like photographers, videographers, and the burgeoning handheld gaming PC sector.
