True, so maybe my statement "decades away" is overly pessimistic.
On the other hand, we are getting closer to the physical limits of our current semiconductor technologies, so the future growth rate may be less than the past. Which might make my "decades away" statement more true.

I've spent the last decade saying "capacities can't increase", and been proven wrong :D

Can't you speed up write speeds as you add in each memory chip in the sd card? It's like how raid1 with 5 drives is faster than any single drive.
It's took about 18 years to increase from 64M to 256G, 4000 increase, doubling every 18 months. That would suggest about another decade before we hit 128TB.
If speeds keep track though, UHD2 is about 12GBytes per second. That's 43TB an hour, or 3 hours on a 128T card.
