    What would anybody even use 4 TB SD card for? Storing a shit-ton of pirated movies that you can watch on your phone? Aside from that I have no idea. 256 gigs is probably more than enough for anything a normal user would do on a phone.

    Def means my next phone I’m buying I make sure has a micro SD slot…

    I love emulation on my phone as a hobby and his is hitting the sweet spot where by the time I need to upgrade again in a few years everything up through PS2 generation should be full speed even on mid tier phones that typically still offer micro SD

    And 8 tb of micro SD is enough space to carry literally entire romsets for every system I like besides PS2/GameCube which is fine.

    I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

      Filming 8K in a raw format maybe? (a lot of cameras only have an SD card slot, or only the sd card slot is fast enough to record raw at higher resolutions)

      You probably wouldn’t need to take it out of the camera either? so the form factor wouldn’t be major concern.
