The standard has a theoretical max capacity of 128TB

Yes, 128 TERABYTES. In an SD card

@InspectorCaracal yup

I mean, they'd have to seriously cram that stuff in to get it in the form factor, but the standard allows for cards that size

@troubleMoney imagine the bandwidth of a truckload of those speeding down the highway

@troubleMoney

how long to write all that data

according to the standard?

@c1t7 according to the standard, 985MB/s

So like a day and a half

@troubleMoney what the holy hell??? That's - like - imagine how much shit a whistleblower could hide in a microsd card! Mail massive backups to remote locations in regular envelopes. Security cams with LONG memories. I think my mind just blew a gasket...
