    The 100mb/sec are becoming a bottleneck for some use cases, but the capacity is awesome.

      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?

          So basically an aquarium sized apparatus add-on for a device that’s smaller than your fingerprint

      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.

    @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!)

      Up the peehole. Just be sure to sterilize it first.

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

      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?

    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.
