I just wish uSD cards didn’t die so easily.
Hopefully the lifespan scales with the amount of writable space. Would be even cooler if that factor was improving over time. Any studies or articles on the topic?
What about 8 MB cards. Can I get one of those plz?
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 is 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.
Shrinkflation!
@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!)
Lose more data, faster!
Where the fuck should I stick it in?
Up the peehole. Just be sure to sterilize it first.
Your stepdad?
The 100mb/sec are becoming a bottleneck for some use cases, but the capacity is awesome.
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.
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?
Linus? 'That you?
So basically an aquarium sized apparatus add-on for a device that’s smaller than your fingerprint
