exactly. Thank you.

Back in 2012 an affordable $40 flash drive was 1GB. Now $40 gets you a 512GB.

$90 would have netted you a 2GB full-size SD card. Now you get a 1TB MicroSD with adapter

$80 would get you 1TB in spinning rust in 2012… now, with $80 you get… 1TB or if you stretch the budget a little, 2TB. But what if you own a bunch of games like Ark Survival Evolved that take up 435GB of space? Shell out $649

Back when I bought the 1TB, I installed the entire steam library I owned onto it. Now I can’t get more than 6-7 new titles installed. I’m ignoring how insanely fast drives have gotten over the years, but my complaint is storage.

EDIT: For the sake of comparison outside my complaint of SSD sizing, spinning rust at $80 today is just 4TB at a lower 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm.

After the “We’re going to delete any cloud captures older than 90 days… oopsie we deleted your local storage”

I’m going to delay updating as long as possible regardless.

fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.

One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?

I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.

I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.
