Lexar reveals 1TB SD card

Flash memory company Lexar has announced a new SD card that can hold 1TB of data.

Designed for DSLR, HD camcorders, and 3D cameras, the new Lexar Professional 633x SDXC UHS-I card offers read speeds of up to 95MB/s, and write speeds of up to 70MB/s.

A microSD card holding 512GB is available but just very expensive at approx $230. The ones holding 256GB are considerably cheaper at $55.

Would it not be possible for a manufacturer to put 4x "innards" of the 256GB microSDs into the SD form factor? Selling 1TB for approx $220 instead of Lexar's $499.

Just asking. Go ahead you can flame me now.
