Tiny SD card has more storage than my whole computer

These network drive names are beautiful

Well i have about 100TB of unused 3TB hard drive piled behind my door

Am I the only one with several 2-4TB drives in a single computer? Can't add a pic, because I won't actually be home for a few more weeks.

EDIT: guess not

100TB? Pics or it's a lie.

I have 2 and 3TB drives
and about 30 3TB drives outside my computer

I can take a few of them off your hands in the meantime B^)

Good luck with that

How do you all survive on so little? Ignore the ghost drives, they're empty USB ports that show up for some reason. I'd like to get a

Wow, you're worse than me.

Meanwhile, my set up. It's on my Netbook.

Those "Network Locations" (Ubicación de red), are FTP locations for connecting my Vita, smartphone and tablets wirelessly so I can browse its contents without installing an FTP software.

And yes, I don't download everything I see, at least not anymore. I like to keep it simple but useful, also I don't use icons (shortcuts) on my desktop, they're useless for me.

Why do they even make computers with 128GB hard drives when memory is so cheap? My 128GB SD card only cost about $50, so it shouldn't add much if anything to the price. I really wouldn't mind the tablet being a mm or two thicker if it meant having twice or four times the space.

my computer got 8GB of ram
and my video card has 11GB of ram...

I can't sorry i'm allowed to use them but not to give them due to them containing possibly sensitive data

First things first, an SD card makes for a poor primary memory. Far too unreliable, far worse than a SSD. Especially if you end up paging (somehow).

You can never have enough space. They fill up so fast </3

Surprising amount of free space for me.

Another one is IOPS. SD cards have awful values for this (influences random reads and writes, how fast data gets returned when there is a nice queue for it and to an extent general continuous speeds as well). The memory might be able to handle it but the little controller they stuff on them less so.

I feel like noting that Western Digital/SanDisk unveiled their 400GB microSD card the other day.

I want more drives, and an SSD. "Things" is literally an old Xbox HDD..........
