In case anyone else was wondering what the number is: 17,592,186,044,416 bits. On a durable card that is smaller than a stamp.

I think you both have fallen for the bullshit marketing of storage manufacturers who want you to think you're getting 16 terabits of capacity. You're not. You get 16,000,000,000,000 bits.

If we are really going to get technical we’d need to determine how much over provisioning the card is designed with.
