SD cards could soon hold 128TB of storage

We all have stories of buying our first XX Mb hard drive, thinking, "I'll never fill that up!" But it's going to be a while before I fill 128TB. Anything needing that much storage isn't going to benefit from storage the size of a thumb nail. I've got 128Gb cards in my portable four track recorder and a GoPro camera. I don't know how many hours of music I could record at the highest quality, but I've got hour upon hour of jam sessions and workshops, and it's a long way from full. Multiply that storage x1000, and I'd just never delete anything, ever. :-)

And I'll bet the GoPro would burn through a dozen batteries before it fills the 128Gb card. Your batteries would probably die from charging cycles long before one fills even that first terabyte of this hypothetical card.

I'd like for there to be room for 40 bytes of text on the shell for labeling purposes.

We could record and curate all of our personal encounters, conversations, activities, and crafts. Imagine being able to sit in on someone's long-past, deep discussion with Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, Adam Smith, Newton, Galileo, Aristotle, Plato, or Praxiteles. Or your own late-night story-telling with a now-dead older relative; being able to hear and see them again.

Then imagine dropping that card in a field. The problem with high desnity is when it breaks, you lose a lot.

Is that the cowardly principle of how people should decide what to do? "if there is a risk of loss, or the possibility of a great loss, don't even try." Who cares what could be achieved? or what risk mitigations are possible? why attempt anything beyond grabbing berries from the bushes? Good luck with that mode of thinking and life.
