Samsung upgrades EVO Select and EVO Plus microSD cards – up to 1TB and 160 MB/s read

Samsung updated its lineup of EVO Select, EVO Plus, and PRO Plus microSD cards with faster speed and a 1TB capacity option.

The EVO Select and EVO Plus cards now boast read speeds up to 160 MB/s (a 23% improvement) and cover the 3 Speed Grade (U3), the A2 application performance class, and the video speed class of V30. The cards are also protected against water, extreme temperatures, X-rays, wear-out, drops, and magnetic impact.

The PRO Plus card matches all the EVO Select and EVO Plus specs but has a faster 180 MB/s read, up to 130 MB/s write speed, and starts from 128GB. Samsung says it’s specifically aimed at photographers and videographers.

The EVO Select and EVO Plus cards are available from today on Samsung.com in their 64-512GB versions. The 1TB variants of the EVO Select, EVO Plus, and PRO Plus will be available later this year.
