how many can they store?

Approximately sixteen trillion. I suspect that number is not really comprehensible to a large population though.

This video helped me visualize how big of a number 1 trillion is:

Current US debt is almost 34 trillions? https://www.usdebtclock.org/

So the debt is just a bit more than two of these microSD cards' worth of storage! I might have the unit conversion wrong, though.

If you were to count those at a rate of 1 per second, it would take about half a million years.

It’s enough to store the name of every human being that has ever lived.

> Grains of Sand: If you were to count grains of sand, assuming roughly 10,000 grains per cup, you would need about 1.6 trillion cups of sand to reach 16 trillion grains.

Math is not ChatGPT’s strong suit.

1 Byte = 8 bits

1 KByte = 8 * 1000 = 8 000 bits

1 MByte = 8000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 bits

1 GByte = 8000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 bits

1 TByte = 8000000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 000 bits

2 TBytes = 8000000000000 * 2 = 16 000 000 000 000 bits

All values approximate.
