When can I make the 124 terrabyte version of this picture?
When can I make the 124 terrabyte version of this picture?
2023 :^)
I think there is two problems.
128MB wasn't big in 2005, microSDs were just smaller than other storage mediums.
Even 1TB is considered large now, with no 128TB storage medium at all yet.
Also microSD demand has slipped.
Hardly any phones use them anymore, Samsung does but their phones now pack a minimum 128GB internal storage now, with a maximum of 1TB internal storage.
With that much storage, everyone using Spotify/Netflix for media consumption and everyone using the cloud for photos there's really no demand for larger SD cards from anyone except Nintendo Switch pirates.
>anyone except Nintendo Switch pirates
It's useful for dash cameras. The more capacity you have, the more video you can keep stored before it gets overwritten.
>Nintendo Switch pirates
also 3DS and SD2Vita and Wii and Wii U and professional cameras, but nothing else, well the R4 and its clones but nothing else

Fuck off.
good point, fair enough.
>3DS
not really.
I recently bought my sister a 2DS and installed CFW and a bunch of games.
64GB was enough for every major game on that system.
The multi-region no-intro pack of every 3DS game as of 2019 is only 1.2TB.
Wii and Wii U can use external harddrive so those don't really count.
I mean the switch can use externals but being a portable as well it's more worthwhile having everything on a microSD.
I think this is why storage in general is going to plateau. Consumers are moving to online streaming/cloud storage for everything. There's no need for anyone to have even 1TB HDD's.
Only the data hoarders will care about having large amounts of storage.
3DS has a 300 title limit otherwise you can fill it with whatever like fan translation packs
Wii and Wii U cannot run certain games off the HDD they're to slow they need to use the faster sd cards mostly for emulators
Can the switch use externals? I thought only SXOS supported that you can't do it normally
cell size too smoll to hold data reliably at that size
perhaps if we made them slightly bigger
at that size you also need big speeds
you know what big speeds also bring? heat, and heat fucks things up
at some point the thing becomes fragile enough that you loose random amounts of data every time you drop it on the floor
also at some point shit goes quantuum and information won't stay in it's containment corner
>all this bullshit aside
it would be slow, that's it, Micro SDs are good for mobile equipement but even with 8K videos and shitload of botnet video games you'd need tops 2 or 4 TB, which could be easily made integrated into phone's internal storage with faster speeds than MicroSD
