I wonder if 368 of these would be smaller and lighter ...

Hmm what I wonder how long till there is a microsd that can match it ? 20-30 years ? What everyone thinks ?

Flash cells are already as small as they can ever get in this universe.
It's why they started stacking them vertically, as they are unshrinkable in a 2D plane.
And if you look at the numbers trend, the increase in size of a columns of cells is slowing down significantly. My guess is it will top out before 1000.
Which means, even with maximum possible technology in this area, we'll never see a MicroSD bigger than 4 TB.
... that is, unless some other sci-fi tech that is not NAND Flash appears from somewhere and is cheap enough to be mass produced on the huge scale NF is.

There is a simple explanation for the weight discrepancy - it's 13kg when empty and 15kg when full 🙂.

You are so pessimistic!

They missed a trick, should have been 386TB :P
Dya think they'll do a bulk purchase deal?
