I haven’t paid attention to storage hardware advancements in the past few years. This is what a 2 TB external SSD looks like. I’m blown away by the compactness of the size.

And speed!

From about sata 50 to like nvme 7000 MB/s

They make 2TB MicroSD cards. It's 2TB on medium that's the size of a fingernail. It's crazy how much advancement there's been in storage density.

Woah really

Powerful

I’m always afraid of losing them or getting burned.

Yeah, I can't image a situation where I'd need 2TB of space on a drive that little. It's cool, but I'm rarely using that much storage on a mobile basis. I always buy the 10-packs of the industrial 8GB size. It only costs like $40 and I think it's better to have a lot of little drives than 1 giant drive.

I definitely want to start shooting again but I think 1TB + a few smaller ones would be enough.

Shooting what? You mean photography?

Yea photography

So you may actually need some of the larger size memory cards depending on your volume. Perhaps not 2TB, but maybe 1TB or 500GB. I still think it's wise to use the smallest drives to accommodate your output as it protects your work from csrd failure, but it probably wouldn't be practical to use an 8GB card for a day of shooting. I'd say 32GB is probably the minimum you should use, just so you can confortably shoot without needing to swap cards every 20min.

Yea I have a few 32 and one over 500gb

I don’t do much shooting now but I plan to. I’m also accustomed to deleting them thereafter too.

It is truly incredible, the commonly used RAM for PC devices over the years:

'82 to '84 - 1KB to 16KB

'85 to '89 - 512KB to 640KB

'89 to '92 - 1MB to 2MB

'93 to '94 - 4MB to 8MB

'95 to '99 - 32MB to 128MB

'00 to '01 - 256MB to 512MB

'02 to '04 - 1GB to 2GB

'05 to '09 - 3GB to 4GB

'10 to today - 6GB to 48GB

Can you send me the link to this please

Thank you

What are the differences between HDD vs SDD. I mean I guess I can Google it but I thought I’d also y’all
