Description:
In a world exclusive, we tested AGI's Supreme Pro TF138, the first ever 
commercial 2TB microSD card.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AGI has launched the first-ever commercially viable 2TB microSD card, beating 
the likes of SanDisk, Lexar, Samsung and Kioxia to the punch. 

The big tech firms have been teasing cards of this capacity for a while  
Kioxia first announced plans to release a 2TB card in 2022  but as of yet, 
none of them have reached the market. 

While there are plenty of 2TB microSD cards available to buy on eBay, Amazon 
and Aliexpress, they are all sadly fakes- but AGIs 2TB Supreme Pro TF138 
microSD card is definitely real, and we should know, as weve had one in for 
testing. Not quite 2TB 

The Supreme Pro TF138 comes in both 1TB and 2TB capacities and while its 
possible  relatively easy even  to buy the 1TB version online through the 
likes of Newegg, the 2TB version is much, much harder to come by. 

The Supreme Pro TF138 comes packaged with an SD card adapter and card reader 
for USB-C ports and is pre-formatted in exFAT format. In testing, we found it 
actually offers 1,935,140,716,544 bytes, which is 12% short of the 
2,199,023,255,552 bytes 2TB should have, but its still an impressive capacity 
in such a tiny form factor. 

The card is more about size than performance, with maximum quoted read/write 
speeds of 170/160 MB/s using the provided CR138 card reader. 

Wondering how much youd need to pay for the world's first 2TB microSD card? 
Us too. Sadly, although weve held the product in our hands and fully tested 
it, we cant tell you where to buy one from, or  just as importantly  how much 
it would cost. The 1TB version on Newegg was priced at $66.99, reduced from 
the MSRP of $99.99, so that might provide a bit of a clue. 

AGI's 2TB card is available to buy now, in theory, so you should be able to 
get one if you spend long enough hunting around, but be warned you might 
encounter a few fakes along the way.
