Micron Technology is shutting down its consumer RAM business in 2026. Micron confirmed that it will fully exit the retail DRAM and SSD market under the Crucial brand by February 2026. Micron on Tuesday has officially announced the world’s first 1.5 terabyte industrial-grade microSD called ‘i400’ at the Embedded World 2022 conference in Nuremberg, Germany.

Micron claims the i400 is designed to handle five years worth of continuous 24-7 high quality recording, and boasts over two million hours of mean time between failures (MTBF), which means it is highly-sustainable (i.e., the card might even surpass the life shelf of the device it is used for). Micron has not specified its pricing and availability yet, though we can expect the 1.5TB i400 microSD to tag an expensive price point and sourcing it will be tough, given the supply chain plight.
