@schizoidman AliExpress already has got 2TB SD cards for 5 dollars, I guess soon you will be able to buy 4 TB from there for the same price as well 😁
(Never ever buy them from there!)
The first USB stick I bought, I saved up for and it was over $1/MB. It still works to this day but is so ridiculously slow and capacity limited there’s no reason to.
4TB in a little stamp is amazing.
I remember bringing a 64M USB drive to school and telling the librarians that “this was the future”
I think back then you needed to install drivers, so I was trying to get them to install drivers on all the library computers so that it would “just work” for students. Before then we used to have to burn files onto CDs or DVDs to bring them to school.
Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.
The 100mb/sec are becoming a bottleneck for some use cases, but the capacity is awesome.
Even the 100MB/sec won’t work for long as these stupidly small MicroSDs tend to heat up A LOT and then go into throttling where the transfer rate goes down to <1MB/sec.
Product idea: “water cooled micro SD card reader”
Nah, just need more RGB.
Did you know all MicroSD that’s heat up and throttled doesn’t have RGB?
So basically an aquarium sized apparatus add-on for a device that’s smaller than your fingerprint
Linus? 'That you?
That and anecdotally, these high capacity SD cards seem to quickly reach the temperature of the sun during any kind of sustained large file transfer
I’d say it’s perfect for security cams or any cams using compression. You could store 14 days of 5120x3200, 60 fps, H.256 HEVC video. Or ~1 day of that at 850 fps.
I just wish uSD cards didn’t die so easily.
Lose more data, faster!
What about 8 MB cards. Can I get one of those plz?
How long can they be used? Mine always wear out really quickly for some reason.
That does make me wonder how sd cards and ssd compare in terms of volume/tbw endurance. Does silicon have a typical lifespan per volume?
Lifespan per NAND cell, which gets exponentially smaller with each extra ‘layer’ per cell. SLC can do billions of writes per cell, QLC is ~1000 writes per cell.
Where the fuck should I stick it in?
Your stepdad?
Up the peehole. Just be sure to sterilize it first.
