Considering that the world's best SD cards have now hit the 8TB mark it's surprising that most are still encased in flimsy plastic – and if you've had the misfortune of breaking one and losing a heap of precious data, you might be interested in Lexar's new Armor cards, which it says are the first to be made from stainless steel.
The Lexar Armor Gold SD UHS-II and Silver Pro SD UHS-II cards were first teased at the NAB 2024 video and entertainment showcase in Las Vegas, but have now been given a full unveiling at Berlin's IFA 2024. They're made from '316 stainless steel', to be precise, an alloy that's particularly resistant to corrosion and water damage.
