The SD-card monster is out: 1TB!

Not exactly cheap: https://www.theverge.c​om …-card-price-date-ces-2019

Cool! And I was thinking I'd be content with adding a pair of 64G or 128G for my uses.

At one time. I was satisfied with this...….

No thanks. I'm cool with 32 and MAYBE 64 sometimes. Big cards scare me. Imagine losing all that in one fell swoop.

Now if you do video... this is probably a good thing.

I am old enough to remember how bulky and precious storage was - 1TB on an SD card simply amazes me beyond means... (Yes, I should have gotten use to progress by now...)

I'm wondering how this iteration is by the new company. We'll see...

I guess this card is clearly targetted towards the pro movie shooter that regularly shoots 4k+ raw footage, not to mere photographers.

Seriously. How many RAW images would that hold? Must into 5 figures at least.

Still, I remember being almost giddy about my first 2GB hard drive. How would I ever use up all that space? Terabytes were NASA and Google sized storage. Not for mere mortals. Now I'm expecting the first TB sized microSD.

You must have come late to the game. My first PC, a "portable", was a Toshiba T1600. I waited an extra month or so to get the rumored 40 MB hard drive.

Nah, the 2GB was well into my career. Wifey still has her 486 running OS2 Warp that she added an actual hard drive (gasp!!) to. It came with just the 5-14" floppy and a few k of internal memory. The thing still boots up, too. I started out on a Commodore 64. Thought it was the coolest thing ever.

In 2005 or so I was working as the IT guy for a department at the Univ. of IL and bought a "massive" storage array, figuring we'd never come close to filling it. Total RAID 5 storage was 786GB. Even then a TB seemed like a pipe dream for small units like ours. Now you can have it in your camera. LOL

Young-ins! I once set myself up as a 'dealer' for a harddrive manufacturer in order to get a 5" harddrive with 10MB capacity for the dealer price of $250, to upgrade my IBM PC that had two floppy drives.
