On Tuesday, Samsung Memory held a summit at Hotel Esplanade and presented the latest data on the global memory market, with a special focus on Croatia and Slovenia. The largest hardware distributors in the region were also present at the conference and received awards for their contribution to the development of the memory market.
- The new 1TB microSD cards will be available on the Croatian and Slovenian markets in the third quarter of 2024.
- In Croatia and Slovenia in 2024, the share of NVMe drives in Samsung’s sales of NVMe and SATA drives exceeded 50%
- Memory cards are becoming more and more relevant – consumers are choosing cards with higher capacity, and hardware is finding new applications in various devices (eg drones, action and security cameras).
– Croatia and Slovenia are important markets in Central and Eastern Europe. We notice that more and more consumers are interested in modern NVMe drives, which are much faster than older SATA drives. In 2024, in Croatia, for every 100 discs sold from both categories, there were 55 discs from the latest generation. Our focus is not only on SSDs. MicroSD cards are finding new applications in an increasing number of devices, such as drones or action cameras. I am very pleased to announce that in the third quarter we will introduce two new cards, both with a capacity of 1 TB – said Maciej Kamiński, head of Samsung Memory for Poland and CEE.
In the third quarter of 2024, 1 TB microSD EVO Plus and PRO Plus will be available in Croatia and Slovenia. The new cards will contain eight layers of eighth-generation 1-terabit (Tb) V-NAND within the microSD format, achieving a high-capacity package that was once possible. only in SSDs.
The new 1TB microSD card passes the most rigorous industry tests and offers reliable use even in challenging conditions, with features such as protection against water, extreme temperatures, drop resistance, scratch protection, as well as X-ray protection and magnetic protection.
Samsung also presented its predictions for the memory card market. As a result of the increasing use of drones, action and digital security cameras that capture images of ever higher quality, their sales will continue to grow by 2026 and will reach 44 million pieces per year in two years.
