128TB SD Cards Are Coming (theverge.com)

A new card specification has been announced by the SD Association that should let you store your entire media collection on one SD card. Technically speaking, the new card specification should increase maximum storage on SD cards to 128 terabytes with faster transfer speeds of 985 megabytes per second. The Verge reports: Right now the maximum storage space on an SD card is 2TB, and that limit was promised as far back as 2009, but still hasn't been reached. In 2016, SanDisk unveiled a prototype 1 terabyte SD card that would make it the biggest in the world, but it's still not available to purchase. At the time, SanDisk said that the advancement was necessary to match ever-increasing data-heavy formats like 4K video and VR. However, creating SD cards with massive amounts of storage is cost-prohibitive. SanDisk's 512GB SD card used to cost $800, and though it's dropped in price, is still priced around $300.

  1. APK doesn't exist anymore. by DrYak · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    APK doesn't exist anymore, he was replaced by a swarm of machine learning bots which were trained on his insane rambling (see title !) and are currently imitating => him, troll posting in bold, calling each other ne'er-do-wells with fake names and complaining at each other for the impersonation.

    The real APK died some years ago while trying to install his h o s t f i l e e n g i n e on his brainstem pacemaker, because he was persuaded that it was a better defence against his disease than actual medicine.
