Sandisk Says It’s Got the World’s Fastest MicroSD Card

I love it when companies claim the ‘world’s fastest’ this of that, sure it might be fastest right now but give it a month and it won’t be anymore. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind having one of these to test out and I do love the look of it, it’s nice to see a colored card instead of the plain black of pretty much all of them. It’s a bit pricey at $100 for a 16gb card, but you want the best and fastest you’ll have to pay for it right?!
