SanDisk today announced the world’s biggest SD card, that they claim will be the first to pack 1 terabyte of storage. If you work with 4K or even higher quality video, you’ll be happy to hear there’s now an even better option than the company’s current best offering – their already enormous 512 GB SD card.
The product currently still only exists as being a prototype, but will probably be released soon. There’s no pricing information available yet, but if the $345 cost of the 512 GB card is factored in, it won’t exactly come cheap.
SD card can hold more information compared to your laptop
This is roughly what you are able to store on a 3.2 cm tall piece of plastic in 2016:
~1,250 episodes of your favorite series in 1080p
~200,000 songs
~310,000 photos
the data on ~728,178 floppy disks
an almost infinite volume of .txt documents saying I paid an excessive amount for this SD card
Meanwhile, I’m writing this with a laptop that has a puny 128 GB SSD and knowing that life is unfair. Where we have come to in such a short time. If you were to consider that not too long ago, we all thought we were hot stuff with our flip-phones. And today, you can manage to get by with just a smart phone.
Technology has increased at such an incredible rate over the last 30 years, oh my god now I feel old. I can remember the floor model TV that actually had a turntable, AM/FM Radio and an 8 Track Player. We had four channels, ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS. And when we finally were able to get cable we were in all our glory.
