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.

Nah, just need more RGB.
Did you know all MicroSD that’s heat up and throttled doesn’t have RGB?

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 just for my phone it’s not like i’m constantly transferring data to storage, i don’t care if it takes a couple seconds to save a video, what i care about is being able to save 5 billion videos

For a brief moment in my life I worked as data manager in a movie set, and remember studying for that job and having to talk with the DP and the cameraman about memory cards, recorders and checking with them that the quality output of the camera were not bigger that the speed capacity of the memory cards. It was fun times, and sometimes I wonder how my life would be now if I never left Argentina and had accepted the next gig the movie producer called me for.

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?
Maybe inversely because of the increased heat of the tightly packed components.

@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.

Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.

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.

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

How long can they be used? Mine always wear out really quickly for some reason.
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.

What about 8 MB cards. Can I get one of those plz?
threaded - newest
The 100mb/sec are becoming a bottleneck for some use cases, but the capacity is awesome.
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
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”
Linus? 'That you?

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?
