2tb Flash Drive
Did you guys see the news last year? Apparently Transcend is working on the technology, and it looks pretty cool.

Yes, now instead of being able to hold well over the content of the Library of Congress three times on only one terrabyte flash drives- we can do it well over six times! The amount of information approaches nigh on unlimited now... Imagine- one day a flash drive could hold all of the world's information... :3
I've been around since 2008. And I'm old. Yay. Pretty sure I notched a fair amount of LOTD/XPs but somehow always like my underrated levels more. Go figure. My best design days are behind me, but I'll try to not be too shabby.

I feel like there has to be a limitation to what we can hold size-wise at some point. I'm not doubting that we'll continue to move forward, but unlimited? All of the world's information on a flash drive? Sounds a bit unrealistic to me.
Also, according to this and this, the total data content count of the Library of Congress is well over 1 tb. More than 10x that, at least.

Ah yes, I'm not saying that we ever will (nor should we) reach an "unlimited" set of potential storage capacity and energy- that was merely my science fiction personale emerging. It would be neat of course...brendiculous wrote:I feel like there has to be a limitation to what we can hold size-wise at some point.

Also, at the time of the discovery of the even existence of tb's- the Library was in fact weighing in right around 1.03 tb in total, and the fact that anyone could purchase several tb hard drives for roughly $300 and easily store all of that 'known' information.
Of course, by now- considering the fact that thousands of articles and information bits are added to the Library daily, I am sure you are quite right to say that it would be improbable to do such a thing on merely one tb or even several.

I bet Apple would have the 8gig 16gig 32gig 64gig 128gig 254gig and so on with a $100 upgrade for each version. -_-Hollabit wrote:Then how about we put that storage in our phone and if we lose it we can use its GPS features. Unfortunately I have an iPhone, and apple would charge an outrageous amount for it.

WOW, Maple Story, other huge amounts of GB's of games I don't really need. <3Newah wrote:That would be so useful for me, kind of. I really wouldn't be able to use a whole two terabytes...yet. I said I could never use a gigabyte back thirteen years ago, but here I am.
Personally, they need to make this not to expensive. Too expensive = more money, fewer buys, Not So Expensive = LOTS of buys, more money.
