How does this compare to taking 1024 1GB SD cards and affixing them with tape?

• penagwin 8y ago
  Your method has a few downsides, namely: * No support for files over 1GB (videos can easily go beyond that on modern cameras) * Poor access times/latency for anything not on the current card (you have to manually swap it) * You have to use tape * Depending on the pricing, I'd be curious but my bet is that 1024 actually decent micro SD cards will cost at least 1$ a piece , and the 1TB uSD is only $449.99, so good luck finding that many cheap, and usable uSD cards.

  Inside, that's how those things basically work. NAND stacked on NAND. They probably don't use tape, though.

  Depending on the tape, you could end up with some very nasty electrostatic discharge.
