Being a widely used storage form, this is a huge boost as far as computers, smartphones IoT devices and other gadgets are concerned. Now you’ve got a more suitable storage option for power hungry games, videos, VR and large data transfer to name a few. It also draws lesser power according to SDA and is within the power threshold of the normal MicroSD card. The MicroSD Express have been made in a way that it is backward compatible with devices that uses the regular MicroSD cards. Only that you won’t be able to tap into the speed it brings, just limited to the usual speed from a regular MicroSD card. Also, the new storage card makes use of a SD 7.1 specification up from the 7.0 version that was used in the SD Express. However, there is no device that is available that meets this specification. You hold your reigns if you’re thinking of going about anything because this pretty much is a something of the future. Nonetheless, it is going to happen soon enough looking at the advantages that comes with. And since it is making use of PCIe channels to achieve this speed, it is very much something you can work with. Until devices like cameras, laptops, tablets and so on are made to support the new MicroSD Express as well as hardware components that would meet the specifications of the same. The impact of such leap in storage technology will not be felt. But then it is nice to know that it is a possibility of the foreseeable tomorrow.
