I once had an mp3 player that had 32mb of internal memory and could hold 12-17 songs on it with heavy compression. It also used some 17 pin or something printer type cord to attach to the computer.
It had an SD expansion slot but I didn’t use it long enough to get one for it.
This actually seems to outpace moores law.. 128 x 2^6 is 8192 or 8gb assuming the 1.5 year doubling time. Even with a 1 year doubling its only 64 gb. This would represent a doubling in capacity every 10.8 months. In reality I would bet that the 128gb card has more than 1024x as many transistors as it wouldn’t surprise me to see some basic error correction/redundancy in the larger card that wasn’t necessary at 128mb.
For example: 5TB holographic disc exists since the early 90’s but no one could afford it. So, comparing a 5TB holographic disc to a modern 5TB hard drive doesn’t mean anything about the moore’s law, it’s more about consumers and demand. You are just comparing the “case”, not the semiconductors itself.
The number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years. Named after former CEO Of Intel, Gordon Moore.
I was more pointing out the obtuse joke, and if they showed a 512 it would show more truth to the fact that Moore’s law is slowing down that we have gone through two Moore’s cycles. Rather then using a picture of surpassed technology I can get for $16 on Amazon.
Go watch [the part of Johnny Mnemonic where he’s doubling his capacity.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftzx_EdLV_s) Then realize you can hold this much data on a $30 flash card glued to your big toenail.
And pretty much on track for doubling every year.
Can’t wait for the 128TB micro SD cards coming out next year at this rate!
So could somebody explain why we can’t use these instead of hard drives and sdds on computers

They do make 512 micro SD.
Gonna be all about the VHDL skills now!
Moores law will apply until it doesn’t.
Ooh! Now do 2023!
Oh, wait…
Is there a certain point where technology peaks? Or advancing technology slows down to a point where moores law is no longer true?

Quantum optical microchips next…
And that was 7 years ago.
Moore’s law is dead.

I just realised the red circle is actually a rubber band lmao
Right, and the other impressive thing is just how *cheap* a 128 GB MicroSD card is these days. I can get one for under $20, shipped.
In term of cost and size, these things are marvels!
You get Moore for less.
It has nothing to do to moore’s law.

So 128 TB in 2023?
128 TB in 2023
I don’t think two data points is enough to define a relation as Moore’s law with any certainty
The acronym has also grown exponentially

And it’s referencing IC chips, not NAND flash.
It’s actually two pics. – Mr. Pedantic
2024 = 128 TB
It’s the extra branding that makes leaps like this possible.
Lmao, 9 years and they only changed one letter

Thanks for the red circle
And yet cheap-ish laptops are sold with 64GB or less of hard drive space instead of far more than they could have for not much more money.
What about Cole’s law?
