Silicon Power SET320 Industrial-Grade microSD Express Up to 256GB Card with SSD-Level Performance

Silicon Power Computer & Communications Inc. (SP) launches the SET320, its 1st microSD Express memory card.

Available in 256GB capacity with an operating temperature of -25°C to 70°C, this industrial-grade solution is designed to meet the growing demands of AI-driven applications. Harnessing the SD Express interface, this advanced memory card delivers performance in a familiar form factor, enabling AI systems and data centers to operate at their maximum potential.

SSD Performance in microSD card size
The SET320 leverages PCIe Gen 3×1 and NVMe interfaces to achieve read speeds of up to 820MB/s – 1.4x faster than SATA SSDs (up to 560MB/s) and more than 8x faster than traditional UHS-I microSD cards (up to 100MB/s). It also boasts write speeds of up to 640MB/s ^[1] to handle data-intensive calculations with ease. These figures make the SET320 comparable to SSDs in terms of performance, all within the compact and versatile form factor of a microSD card, allowing users to experience SSD-like speed and efficiency in devices that require a smaller footprint.

Versatile applications for modern needs
From applications that require quick access to large amounts of data to seamless operation in critical AI-driven environments, the SET320 is designed to excel. A low power consumption of 1.5mW promotes uninterrupted performance and efficiency. It’s also backward-compatible with devices ^[2] that support previous-gen microSDXC UHS-I cards, ensuring that users can upgrade their existing hardware without sacrificing functionality. Additionally, the SET320 fits into the same form factor as traditional microSD cards, providing a straightforward transition to the latest in storage technology.

The SET320 microSD Express memory card demonstrates the company’s commitment to implementing technologies that drive innovation in the industry. As AI applications continue to evolve and demand greater computational efficiency, the need for faster, more reliable storage solutions will become increasingly critical. The SET320 is a solution to meet these inevitable demands, paving the way for the next-gen of intelligent systems.
