I remember that. Sandisk had a prototype 2TB microSD last year, IIRC.yea what ever happened to multiple tb sd and micro sd cards talked about at ces like 2 or 3 years ago?
can you say planned obsolescence

yea here we are like 2,3 years later ,still stuck on 32gb micro sd ,64gbsdI remember that. Sandisk had a prototype 2TB microSD last year, IIRC.
Because there's simply no demand. There's no point manufacturing expensive cards that no one's gonna buy or even need for another 2-3 years at least.yea here we are like 2,3 years later ,still stuck on 32gb micro sd ,64gbsd
I'd use it, how is it so expensive when it's made from sand in Chinese slave factories in Shenzhen? it costs $8 to make an iphone 5Because there's simply no demand. There's no point manufacturing expensive cards that no one's gonna buy or even need for another 2-3 years at least.
Wow, you should really read a bit more shouldn't you? It costs about $200 to produce an iPhone 5, not $8. And just because labour costs in China are cheap in what world does that automatically mean the actual product is cheap to produce? You've got the costs of designing such an awesome and incredible piece of tech (which requires a lot of research and development), building machines to manufacturing the parts, testing, advertising. It all adds up.I'd use it, how is it so expensive when it's made from sand in Chinese slave factories in Shenzhen? it costs $8 to make an iphone 5
sorry $8 is the total labor cost and not parts and materials, those I think are (over)estimated at between 167-207 usd, even with that they sell for 5x the costWow, you should really read a bit more shouldn't you?

Also, I highly doubt you need 1TB of storage in such a small medium.

probably made in some foxconn shithole in shenzen for 3 cents ,and they will try to sell for 900 gazzillion% markup
why not just sell it for $5 ,and sell millions ,instead of selling like 1000 for 5000
we know they cost fuckall to produce
at the markup rate its still more profitable to sell more for less
Do you have an aching need to take tons ofpornographicpiratedtotally legitimate content wherever you go? Are conventional flash drives just not cutting it for you? Can you sit through another rhetorical question?
Well, then, don't worry, because it looks like Kingston's got you more than covered.

"Flash... DRIVE! It'll store almost everything!"
Now, there's no word on pricing yet. They'll be offering a tinier variant first (and by "tiny", I mean 512 gb), which will go for $1337 (Get it?) upon release. So yeah, don't expect this to come cheap. And while you may be saying, "That tera-bites," keep in mind that this isn't really intended for the consumer market. This is probably aimed more at business professionals.
Still, it's a pretty impressive achievement, and seeing how quickly technology marches on, we may only be years away from a more consumer friendly model. This certainly won't be a flash drive in the pan.
Unlike its namesake, let's all hope the Predator isn't invisible in the marketplace.
