There is roughly 2k hours of lecture in a 4 year degree (15 credit hours * 11 weeks * 3 quarters * 4 years) ~> 1980 hrs. At high quality 500MB/hr this is 990GB.

There is roughly 2k hours of lecture in a 4 year degree (15 credit hours * 11 weeks * 3 quarters * 4 years) ~> 1980 hrs. At high quality 500MB/hr this is 990GB. This is worst case, so a 1TB memory card has more than enough space to store the lecture portion and possibly extra tutorials for a 4 year degree.
These cards will be less than $50 in 3 years.
- tracker1 8y agoI have SERIOUS doubts as to your price projections. Even IF it somehow magically becomes less expensive to actually produce, and completely recoup investment costs for design/production/test in 3 years, it's still subject to economics. Meaning if most people are willing to pay hundreds, it will cost hundreds.
- nerpderp82 8y ago256GB is currently $50. Getting to 1TB @ $50 in 3 years seems inline with historical rates.
- ksec 8y agoYou are asking for a 4x drop in GB/ Prices in 3 years. How is that inline with any historical rate. And completely ignored the fact that we got 256GB to this price point was a recent avalanche in NAND prices. Cheapest 512 GB Cost ~$100, 1TB being top dog, lower yield is RSP ~$400. I would be surprised if these MicroSD were sub $100 in 3 years time.
