The next order of magnitude
Here’s how you store 2 terabytes of data today:
Yesterday the SD Association announced that by the end of 2009 2 terabyte capacities will be possible on SDHC cards. That’s 2,000 gigabytes. On a postage stamp…. The current limit is 32gB.
What does 2 terabytes store?
- 400 full length uncompressed movies
- 100,000 books
- 167,000 RAW image files
- 2,000 record-length CDs
Well, you get the idea. The Library of Congress will be in your wallet before long. Though some might argue it already is.
