apparently the sweet spot for price per $ is the 32gb

"...3,200 pound vehicle, and resist a magnetic impact of up to 10,000 gauss..."

They forgot to benchmark what a 3 year old can do to it.

What is the point of making the cards look like anything since they will be installed internally in a device out of sight?

I agree 100%. This is a very good example of form over function.

I think it is aimed at the folks who like to install neon lights in their cases ;-)

well they say they they can withstand crush, water, and magnet... can other sd cards do this as well? also, are they metal plated?

you also have to imagine that these card are for people who use them in higher end products that need the speed... such as a hd camcorder or large mp camera, these things could realisticly fillup before you pull video off of them (1080p can take a crap ton of space, 720p to a lesser extent)

i know that i have several sd cards all around me... granted i used them as thumb drives before thmub drives were cheap. alot of people i am guessing dont just put them in and never take them out again... if i could permanently paint my sd cards another color, i would, just so i know whats on what before i plug them in.

Samsung guarantees that the cards are extremely rugged and can withstand the force of a 3,200 pound vehicle

I want to see the blend test =), maybe filled with water also...

Color coded SD cards.
That's a great idea !
Hello patent office... I'd like to file an application please...

Cheap, pretty, durable, fast. I like.

resist a magnetic impact of up to 10,000 gauss,

Perfect! This should be able to survive the magnetic force of my time machine. Now all I have to do is send the small card back in time loaded with all the greatest achievements in technology from the last 20 years and have my past self invent them first! I will dominate the economic market and then use it to build my private army with my advanced military tech to take over the world! Mwhahahaha!

Wait.. how will my past self read what is off the card without a device to accompany it? ..................... ****!

WTHell, I bought one of these couple months ago. The brush aluminum looking one.

 

[fracture]

Forgot to mention I bought it at Frys when they had it on sale, 16gb for 16 bucks.

 

[__-_-_-__]

completely irrelevant. what it matters is 4K performance.

 

[RealityClash]

So their SD cards are made of brushed metal, yet even their most expensive phones are still plastic?...

To be fair, those $16 cards are quite a bit slower.
still, you've got to have a good reason ( like professional use where time is money) to spend that much extra for their speed.
