Samsung Unveils 256GB MicroSD Card, Highest Capacity In Its Class (thenextweb.com)

Samsung recently unveiled its EVO Plus 256GB microSD card, capable of storing more than 12 hours of 4K video footage, 33 hours of full HD recording, 55,200 photos or 23,500 MP3s. While you most likely do not need such a large microSD card in your life, you'll probably want one. The card features Samsung's newest V-NAND technology, with read/write speeds of 95MB/s and 90MB/s, respectively. It will be available in June to over 50 countries at a price of $250, which includes a 10 year warranty. Personally, I have no need for such a high-capacity card at this time, but I marvel how far technology has progressed in the last few years, let alone months. SanDisk, for example, revealed a 200GB microSD card back in March, 2015, which was the highest capacity microSD card up until now.

      Those circumstances can't be predicted... But they do happen. Alien visitations, cops torturing someone, once in a millennia volcanic eruptions, you actually get laid, etc.

      We all know that three of these events are likely to occur in our lifetime.

      Now if you'll excuse me, I have porn video files to classify.
