Lose more data, faster!
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 just wish uSD cards didn’t die so easily.
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?
We live in a world where we can store all books ever written in a plastic scrap
Where the fuck should I stick it in?
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.
Will be better for offline phone backup 👍
