Silicon Power (SP) is unleashing the Hypera microSD Express memory card, its latest leap in next-generation portable storage technology, where the power of technology delivers "hyper" performance. Designed for gamers, creators, and power users alike, the Hypera boasts ultra-fast PCIe Gen 3x1 performance with blazing speeds up to 880 MB/s read and 700 MB/s write, and is available in huge capacities up to 1 TB.

PCIe Performance in a microSD Form Factor
At the core of the Hypera is PCIe Gen 3x1 and NVMe technology, enabling unmatched microSD performance in a compact footprint. With lightning-fast data transfer speeds up to 880 MB/s, users can experience up to 2.7x faster performance than UHS-II cards and up to 8x faster than standard UHS-I cards. This groundbreaking speed enables accelerated downloads, seamless in-game loading, and smooth gameplay even with maximum resolution, dramatically enhancing the gaming experience.



Big Capacities for AAA Gaming and 4K Content
Available in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities, the Hypera gives users the freedom to store massive files, high-res assets, and expansive game libraries. Whether you're a mobile gamer or digital creator, this card offers storage headroom without sacrificing speed. It also supports the V30 video recording standard, making it ideal for UHD video capture.

Plus, with confirmed compatibility with the Nintendo Switch 2, it's a must-have upgrade for the newest generation of console gaming. The Switch 2's new game-key card format introduces larger, more advanced games that require additional storage support, making the Hypera the perfect companion for both physical and digital content expansion.

Future-Proofed with Backwards Compatibility
As a top-tier gaming solution, the Hypera significantly improves gameplay experience on the latest consoles that support microSD Express. However, it also remains fully backward-compatible with UHS-I at speeds up to 104 MB/s, ensuring smooth performance when playing older favorites. This means users can invest in next-gen performance today while maintaining versatility with existing devices.

From exploring immersive worlds in massive AAA titles to storing libraries for multiple consoles, the Hypera delivers speed and storage without compromise. It embodies Silicon Power's mission to innovate with powerful yet practical solutions that keep up with today's evolving trends.

Isn't V30 too little for a express SD card? Or 'V30' is making reference at the compatibility mode of UHS-I?


How much time before dropping from ~800 to 30MB/s?

Without wanting to leave a negative message, even if the sustained speed is not very high, for gaming is not that necessary and the reading numbers will be much higher.

Even the Sandisk(A1 so just 10MBps) and other brands have rated their cards for similar level of performance when used with devices capable of UHS-I speeds.
 
I'm glad to see storage companies aren't shying away from the PCIexpress and NVMe association.
 
As if often the case with the PR wank, the 2nd-most important spec, the price, is not mentioned.
