    I wonder if such huge SD cards are worthwhile, considering they die at some point (you wouldn't want to store anything important, that you didn't have backed up to a more secure location).

      I haven't ever had one Sandisk die on me in my ten years+ of using them with MicroSD cards. (And I am a heavy user, touch wood).
      I've had many Kingstons die (stopped buying that brand), couple of Lexars but none Sandisk.

      • Quantumcat on 21/11/2017 - 08:34

        The storage medium is by nature more volatile than hard drives and SSDs. It would be needlessly risky for you to store, say, your child's baby photos in one without having them backed up elsewhere

          @Diji1:

          "How long does flash memory last?

          Flash memory eventually wears out because its floating gates take longer to work after they've been used a certain number of times. It's very widely quoted that flash memory degrades after it's been written and rewritten about "10,000 times," but that's misleading. According to a 1990s flash patent by Steven Wells of Intel, "although switching begins to take longer after approximately ten thousand switching operations, approximately one hundred thousand switching operations are required before the extended switching time has any affect on system operation." Whether it's 10,000 or 100,000, it's usually fine for a USB stick or the SD memory card in a digital camera you use once a week, but less satisfactory for the main storage in a computer, cellphone, or other gadget that's in daily use for years on end. One practical way around the limit is for the operating system to ensure that different bits of flash memory are used each time information is erased and stored (technically, this is called wear-leveling), so no bit is erased too often. In practice, modern computers might simply ignore and "tiptoe round" the bad parts of a flash memory chip, just like they can ignore bad sectors on a hard drive, so the real practical lifetime limit of flash drives is much higher: somewhere between 10,000 and 1 million cycles. Cutting-edge flash devices have been demonstrated that survive for 100 million cycles or more."

          http://www.explainthatstuff.com/flashmemory.html
          http://www.electronicdesign.com/memory/fundamentals-flash-me…

          "A hard drive stores its data magnetically, and as long as you keep it away from another strong magnetic source, it is fairly stable.

          The magnetism can diminish over time, putting the data at risk, but this can be restored by powering on and reading or writing the data. You should do this every few years if you’re using a hard drive for long-term storage."

          @Quantumcat: The only real guarantee of data lasting more than 10 years is probably still from (high quality) Optical medium and stored properly (away from light and in good conditions). I've still got my CDRs from my first batch of Kodak Golds and still works today as it did then (20 years!). Thats why I always suggest everyone still backup photos and their most important information to Optical to this day. It's just a shame that Optical has pretty much died compared to the lazier ways of constantly buying more hard drives or sticking them to the Cloud.

          Funny enough, my 8G Sandisk on my Nokia N95 still works. lol…

          @Quantumcat:

          That article really needs to be updated as the information is out of date and highly inaccurate.

          The 10,000 and 100,000 figures would have been for MLC and SLC flash cells respectively and with the emergence of TLC and 3D NAND the durability levels change - TLC cells are rated for between 500 to 1000 re-writes.

          Wear leveling is also not done at the O/S level but at the flash controller level as the operating system is not aware of the physical layout of the flash memory. The reference about tiptoe around is also wrong and reads like a bad sci fi script - flash memory uses error correction to mask errors as best as possible and in the case of SSD's over provisioning is implemented and bad blocks transparently remapped.

          @bchliu:

          Optical storage simply doens't have the capacity required. When you need a few TBs of storage, you can't use optical.

        • bchliu on 21/11/2017 - 14:12

          @thord: Yeah.. It's unfortunate that they havent progressed Optical in the same capacities as Flash or Spindles. However, I am using it for photos and videos - which my 100GB per disc BDR will be good enough for. Really Archival purposes and just mark out the calendar, burn and store. I think my 60000 family photos only takes around 200GB or about 2 BDRs. At least I know they should be retrievable in 20-30 years time if the technology still allows it.

          At least I know they should be retrievable in 20-30 years time if the technology still allows it.

          Isn't that why cloud storage (in addition to cheap hard drives that you replace every few years) would be better? It'd probably be rather difficult to find a Bluray drive in the year 2050, but that hard drive you've been replacing would be fine. Google will likely still be around, so your photos should still be accessible there too.

        • bchliu on 21/11/2017 - 17:29

          @eug: Well.. arguably, my CDRs from 1997 still work. 20 years have gone by since (and standards have changed from IDE/Parallel Port to SATA/USB). Considering the humble floppy has been around for half a century in it's many guises. I suppose Optical media will still be around in at least another 20 years unless something else comes out better for it (I do have an idea myself, but that requires a patent and someone like IBM to realise it…)

          I did read a rather interesting article in a science mag about how media just doesn't last anymore unlike Books or other hard copy stuff that does last hundreds (thousands) of years if stored under the right conditions. We've created more data in the last few years than we did for the last 5000 years of humanity!

          As for Google being around? Who knows. They appeared from nowhere 20 years ago when the landscape was very different. In another 20 years, the landscape would have changed again.

          Well.. arguably, my CDRs from 1997 still work.

          At work we have a large number of DVD-R discs from about 2003 onwards. A lot of them don't work any more, even the Taiyo Yuden discs. Some are stored in the spindles they came with, some in large DVD folders, and they're stored in an office environment so no extremes and no UV either, since there's no window in that room.

          Considering the humble floppy has been around for half a century in it's many guises.

          I reckon it'll be quite difficult to get a working 5.25" or 8" drive and computer with the right interface nowadays. Or at least not cheap!

          I suppose Optical media will still be around in at least another 20 years unless something else comes out better for it

          Aren't they pretty much EOL now? Nice new laptops don't come with optical drives any more.

          (I do have an idea myself, but that requires a patent and someone like IBM to realise it…)

          Maybe one day that DNA storage method will become a reality.

          I did read a rather interesting article in a science mag about how media just doesn't last anymore unlike Books or other hard copy stuff that does last hundreds (thousands) of years if stored under the right conditions.

          True, digital media requires more TLC, but you get to maintain fidelity. Analog storage like negatives and paintings can last a lot longer without active maintenance, but they gradually degrade… unless maybe it's an analog record made of gold! At least it doesn't fall off a cliff like digital media I guess.

          Hmm not sure if that's a great idea for archival purposes. SD cards store data by storing a charge in a cell. Over time the charge will leak out, corrupting the data.

        because he didn't lose multiple phones in his desk; he lost multiple micro sd cards in his desk. Also, micro sd cards are not used solely for phones/tablets, but for things like cameras as well which need a lot of memory (especially if filming in 4k)

        • [Deactivated] on 21/11/2017 - 12:05

          SD cards are better suited for that job. I dont know of any pro camera that uses micro sd cards only. Also ironically it would be better to have 1x 400gb micro sd card in your phone than having a dozen smaller cards to lose them and switch out all the time.

      The limitations are usually written based on the current Max sd card sizes at the launch of the phone. SDXC standard is good for up to 2tb so is exfat. So theoretically if your phone supports SDXC then it's should be fine. As mentioned though… Untested

      You don't need U3 for 4K video unless you're using it in a camera that uses high bitrates.

      400GB is quite a lot. You could store your entire movie library on your tablet. U3 is less important for usage scenarios like that, since you copy everything on once.
