SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB microSDXC is now available at Mascom International for KSh 21,500, located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This UHS-I Class 10 card reads at up to 150MB/s, carries an A1 app-rating, and ships with an SD adapter for full-size card slots. The 1.5TB capacity (model SDSQUAC-1T50-GN6MA) holds roughly 1,360GB of usable space after formatting. SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB fits Android phones, tablets, Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and many cameras. At KSh 21,500, the card works out to about KSh 14 per gigabyte of storage.

Kenya's content creators, photographers, and videographers fill storage fast. A single hour of 1080p footage can swallow 4GB, and phone galleries balloon with raw photos, WhatsApp media, and downloaded shows. The SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB solves the "storage full" warning that interrupts shoots and forces constant file deletion. Mobile gamers loading large titles, dashcam owners recording long drives, and security-camera setups logging continuous footage all need room that built-in phone storage cannot match. University of Nairobi and Strathmore students recording lectures and storing course videos gain a private, removable archive that travels between devices without cloud subscriptions or data costs.

Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya that stock counterfeit or grey-market cards, Mascom International sources genuine SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB units with full warranty backing. Counterfeit microSD cards remain a real problem across Nairobi's informal market, often advertising fake capacities that corrupt data once filled. Buyers across Kenya tell us a verified high-capacity card saves them from the heartbreak of lost photos and footage. At Mascom International, we're seeing demand climb as 4K-capable phones and action cameras reach more Kenyan homes. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB in your own device before you pay.

Common Questions About the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB

Is the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB worth KSh 21,500 in Kenya's market?
The SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB earns its KSh 21,500 price for anyone running low on storage. That works out to roughly KSh 14 per gigabyte, far cheaper than buying a new phone with more built-in memory. A 1.5TB card holds more than most laptops ship with. For content creators and students who would otherwise pay monthly cloud fees, the one-time cost pays for itself within months. The card moves between devices, so the value follows you across every phone, tablet, or camera you own.

What read and write speeds does the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB actually deliver?
The SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB reads at up to 150MB/s, letting you offload a full card of footage in minutes rather than waiting around. Write speed sits lower, with a guaranteed minimum of 10MB/s under the U1 and Class 10 rating. Real-world read speed depends on your device and card reader; the 150MB/s figure needs a UHS-I host and a USB 3.0 reader such as the SanDisk MobileMate. For everyday phone use, photo capture, and Full HD video, these speeds keep recording and playback smooth without stutter.

Will the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB work in my phone and camera?
Yes, the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB fits any device with a microSD slot, including Android phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and Windows laptops. The bundled SD adapter lets the same card slip into full-size SD slots found on cameras and standalone readers. Before buying, confirm your phone supports cards up to 1.5TB, since some older or budget models cap microSD support at 512GB or 1TB. Most recent Samsung Galaxy A-series, Xiaomi, and Tecno phones with expandable storage read the full 1.5TB without issue.

Can the SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB record 4K video?
The SanDisk Ultra handles Full HD 1080p video recording cleanly, which suits phone cameras, dashcams, and most everyday filming. For sustained 4K recording, SanDisk recommends a V30 or U3 card such as the SanDisk Extreme, because the Ultra's U1 rating guarantees only 10MB/s minimum write speed. Many phones still record 4K to this card in short bursts, but long continuous 4K clips can drop frames on slower cards. If your main goal is heavy 4K filming, ask our team about the Extreme line at Mascom International instead.

How do I know this SanDisk Ultra card is genuine, not fake?
Mascom International sources every SanDisk Ultra through verified supply channels, so the card you receive is genuine, not a relabelled fake. Counterfeit microSD cards flood Kenya's informal market, often printed as 1.5TB while actually holding far less, which corrupts files once the real limit fills. Genuine SanDisk cards pass capacity verification and carry the SDSQUAC-1T50-GN6MA model code. You can test the card in our Kimathi Street store before paying, and the 6-month Mascom warranty covers any genuine hardware fault.

What does the A1 rating mean for app performance?
A1 rating means the SanDisk Ultra hits 1,500 read and 500 write operations per second, the standard for running apps directly from the card. This matters on Android phones that let you move apps to microSD, since A1 cards load those apps and games faster than older non-rated cards. For Kenyan users juggling WhatsApp media, banking apps, and games on tight internal storage, A1 performance keeps everyday tasks responsive. The rating focuses on small-file random access, not just the headline 150MB/s transfer figure.

How many photos and videos fit on the 1.5TB card?
The SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB holds roughly 1,360GB of usable space after formatting, since manufacturers count 1GB as one billion bytes. That fits around 270,000 high-resolution photos, or more than 100 hours of Full HD video at typical phone bitrates. Music libraries, downloaded Netflix and Showmax titles, podcasts, and game files all share the same card with room left over. For photographers shooting weddings in Karen or events at the KICC, a single card can cover an entire season without swapping or deleting older work.

Does the SanDisk Ultra survive Kenya's heat, dust, and rain?
Yes, the SanDisk Ultra resists water, extreme temperatures, shock, X-rays, and magnetic fields, matching SanDisk's standard durability testing. That protection suits Kenya's range of conditions, from humid coastal weather in Mombasa and Diani to dusty upcountry roads around Eldoret and Nakuru. The card keeps working after accidental drops, pocket lint, and the heat inside a phone left on a car dashboard. No card is fully waterproof in every scenario, but this durability rating means brief rain exposure rarely destroys your stored files.
