Now can we please get them back in phones?
They are in some phones… Shop around :)
I know, and I do, but the point is choices shouldn’t be so limited. They should be standard.
look into chinese phones, vast majority of them have it
I can’t fathom a good reason for 4TB SD cards.
Most cameras have CF Express which is probably 5-8 times faster.
Even UHS-III is 600MB/s while CF Express Type B is hitting 4GB/s.
Even so, why would you risk 4TB of data on removable storage.
CF Express is also running PCI-E. This article isn’t talking about SD Express.
Steam games. I want to have all my 50-100 GB games available without having to decide what to uninstall.
Currently I have two 512gb SD cards for my Steam Deck.
If it craps out, it’s okay.
If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local “cloud” service.
I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.

Meanwhile I’m struggling to find 4MB SD cards, so I can easily overwrite it with random data to securely wipe it between uses.
How the heck do people with 4TB SD cards do data hygiene wipes of their medium before crossing international borders? That would take days…

They don’t
Right. Like, my use case for SD cards is for my cameras. I want to take pictures and bring them home across international borders. And a 4TB card would be amazing, though probably not fast enough. I simply don’t put files that I don’t want people to find onto my SD cards in the first place.

Come on guys, I’ve had an 8TB microsd card since 2018…my files just start to act funny whenever it is fuller than 8GB ;)
I’m guessing with a three day dump estimate? Thermal throttling on SD cards is brutal.
Finally /s
Thank god. I didn’t want to live in a world without 4tb SD cards anymore.
Yeah but when can I get a 4TB floppy?
That’s nice, but I’m more interested in prices coming back down. The manufacturers have been pumping up storage prices even though demand has gone down by artificially constricting supply.
