Yeah it does. I don't store stuff on my laptop though.

Amazing.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Sandisk USB 3.0 32gb memory drive, no bigger than my thumbnail. It's literally the port connector and a black edge. It's so small that when I plug it in I can barely get it out because there's almost nothing to grab. All that and the writing speed is insane because of the 3.0. And it cost me like 20 bucks.
It blew my mind, really.

$1000 Vita memory card?
Too bad I don't think any of the projects to try and make microSD work with Vita ever got off the ground. The Vita memory card slot is physically too small to fit microSD.

Best thing about memory is this is true, and that's great for everyone. Especially since flash memory is so resilient and reliable.

It's amazing how far we've come memory wise for portable storage. Like wow.
It's also going to kill Hard Drives. Maybe not Solid States, but bulky drives are gonna die. It's kinda amazing to think about.
I await the day we can backup our brains to a device so we can look stuff up in our brain at any time.
I have no idea how this would even be feasible but it sounds amazing to me

It's been a long time coming, I'll be surprised if HDDs aren't into the phasing out period in four years, at least on the consumer side.

Does my laptop already support this card or does it need a new port or something?

Remember lugging around external floppy drive in college. Damn time flies fast.
Also this. Fucking hate spinning drive of all kind. My flash memory from 2000 still works fine while my desktop HDDs keep failing one after another.

If your laptop supports SDXC, which has been around a few years now, it supports this.
I used to take my Zip drive with me, to take advantage of the T1 line.

Amazing. The rate at which tech continues to evolve is remarkable. I mean, just going back 10 years in time (in terms of tech) feels super weird and constriced versus what we have now. Especially in ease of use, something that the further you go back the worse it gets.
I mean, hell, the 1st iPhone (while not the very first smartphone it was the one that set the trend) was launched in 2007. 2007 folks! Still less than 10 years ago! Crazy!
Also can't wait to fill my phone or the NX with this crazy amount of memory! Kinda wish the PS4Pro/Scorpio would incorporate a card reader (and the tech to allow it to serve as game storage space). Would make things a whole lot easier going forward.

You have >2TB storage in your laptop? Why? Or are you counting external storage too?

3500 dollars if we use the ratio vita cards-sd cards.
A 512GB SD Card from Sandisk is 350 dollars on Amazon. 1TB would be like 700 dollars.
A 64GB Vita card is 100 dollars when it's 20 dollars for a SD card from Sandisk.
5 times more expensive, so 1TB would be 3500 dollars

So what you're saying is that Sony would only need to sell 10000 of those to pay for R&D? Sweet! Vita 2 incoming!

So youre saying that with the money of a potential 1TB Vita memory card i could buy a used Citroen, a 2DS with Game and a 32GB SD Card, and a KFC Bucket before and still have money left?
yes, i actually looked up all of this, and the total price was 3.129
You and I both know it'd be awesome to read up on what our brain has retained and maybe see our dreams in 1080p!
It could also help fix stuff like brain damage, poor eyesight, etc.
But my laptop has the same amount of storage, not less
In all seriousness though, it's amazing that something so little can old such a huge amount of data. Wonder where we will be in 10 years, considering the biggest available card 10 years ago was 4GB (even though the 1TB card is of course not actually available yet and just a prototype).
and it's not even a new laptop

1080p? What is this? 2013?
Fauxk/4k @ 30-ish fps or bust! heheBut yeah, 100 years from now humans have the potential to be "super" assuming biotech continues at the current pace or better and people have the money for it.
Who stores porn?

Jokes on you OP! My laptop has 2TB of SSD storage!
Cannot wait when this card drops in price though.

That still boggles my mind when I got back to think about that!
I feel like in the past years we have stagnated. It felt super crazy once CD's and DVD's became a thing. Then again it seemed like we had a huge jump when USB flash drives came onto the scene. Since then, I have felt stagnated.

Anyone know what the read-speed on these guys is? I wonder if you could get a handful going into an internal USB3 connector and stripe them together?

Man, Blu Ray really is becoming irrelevant. The reason I bring up blu ray is because I was hoping for writable blu ray drive to store files. Now, who needs blu ray when you can shove an SD card or USB drive into your PC or laptop and you're set.

This is still going to fill up pretty fast when used in a GoPro filming at 4K! We need 2TB cards asap!
This is the 512gb model: https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/sd-cards/extremepro-sd-uhs-i
Ever been a month without access to the Internet?
After something like that you'll definitely start storing some porn and other stuff

Interesting, thanks for the link! Assuming it's the same, you'd need to stripe together about 6 of them to get similar speeds as an existing SSD connecting via SATA, though that would obviously give you 6TB and theoretically you could fit it in an enclosure not much bigger than a match box.
I guess the really interesting use for things this size are things like Raspberry Pi's and the like - tiny, embedded machines that can actually house a ton of storage. With the above idea, you could have something around the size of a fire alarm sitting on your wall somewhere, able to store 6TB of data and stream it to any other device in the house. All you'd need is a power cable. And, what's more, you could take it off the wall and take it to someone else's house and it'll fit in your pocket, including all that storage. Pretty cool!
