Comment on Miniature Hard Drives
billwashere@lemmy.world 1 week agoYeah I had a camera back in the day that had one of these. I thought it was the shit.
No we have 1.5 TB MicroSD … which is 4600 of those 340mb drives…. this makes my brain hurt. And that camera is only about 20 years old.

Haha yeah storage capacity just keeps going up fast. Now that you mention it, I do recall the performance on these drives was supposed to be just absolute crap, but it was a massive innovation before chip storage came out. And some day the next big thing will be released and we’ll wonder how we put up with SSD drives.
