Hey Fossil, where have you been?
pulse Report This Comment Date: April 30, 2014 12:59PM
I have one in my phone.
Not a 128TB one, mind.

My wife found a Micro SD adapter at work.

Well it's 2022, not 2023.. and we've increased 2014's by 8x not the 1000x in
the previous 9 years.
That said, 2TB should probably come out this year.. still.. dramatic slowdown in
progress.
Also, goats.

220, 221, whatever it takes

So, after 10 years, 1.5TB is still the largest you can buy.

"1.5TB card is big enough for 350 DVDs, 70 Blu-rays or 15,000 Zip
disks"
Which, admittedly is pretty fucking impressive. Data storage has massively
slowed down its capacity gains though. New HAMR hard drives will help accelerate
it again, in spinning rust form; but solid state drives have been basically
stagnant for several years.
That said, [
"very big discs" ] may
come with 200TB on the size of a CD. That'd be pretty ace.
Both plus and porn sites could fit on that 1.5TB microsd card 5x over.

Now I need a NAS which has, say, 100 of them in it. Would still be tiny.

The problem is reliability of data: last I heard, if you store on a layer one
molecule thick, bits of it tend to move about over time. For this capacity it
must be smaller and smaller molecules, down towards the atom stage, and that's
unreliable. But if they've solved the problem, I think I'll buy a 1TB metal USB
key and just plug it in - that's 1000 hours of 1080 video and I think that will
do me.

It's a broadly solved problem. No, probably not on very cheap commodity
hardware like an SD card; but certainly enterprise systems are already at 122TB
on a 2.5" U2 NVME drive.

I'll never need 122TB, do you remember when your backup was a stack of
3.5" disks. My stack was two, and one was my resume.
A 1-1.5TB USB key I can fit in my pocket will suit me forever, if it's case is
metal. (Apparently 1.5TB's are more sensible to manufacture).
My computer has a 400GB drive I dumped all my backups onto. Still deleting
duplicates and things I just don't want. Isn't it amazing photos you liked in
the 800x600 days are now not good enough? I have 8GB free, will finish and fill
it with old waltz music (the cheery stuff) as I hear Alphabet, Facebook, X and I
think Amazon are funded by the yank Department of Defence, on the misguided
assumption that to own the source of knowledge is to be the authority on
knowledge - that we will all want a world yankeeland! See! No need to update
the armed forces' equipment, when everyone else updated their equipment...
That funding may stop soon.
