Comment on Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site
Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 1 day agoAnd what do you think that polling rate was to fill up a 512 GB SD card? It’s all speculation but this isn’t a supper collider, we shouldn’t need sub second polling of a vehicle that can only move 5.6 km/h.

And even if you sampled at 10 sps, and did 50 sensors at 10b, you would still only be looking 5000bps or 5.8x10^-7^ GBps, meaning that it would take roughly 26 years to fill up a 512GB SD card.
While I don’t know for how long the sub had been submerged, I doubt it was close to a quarter of a century. If that was the case, I believe that we would have been talking about that as well. Even if it was 500 sensors, at 100sps at 12b we’d be looking at 79days.
IMHO there’s only a few things a 512GB SD card would be used for. And I hope it was music, because I don’t think we should watch the final moments of these people’s lives.
