I remember when consumer external gigabyte hard drives were just coming available. They were still thousands of dollars. They weighed in the pounds, and about half a cubic foot in volume. I mean, I remember floppies and 5.25 format hard drives in the kb and multiple mb size too, but the gigabyte hard drive era seemed like a significant milestone, so it made an impression. That gb external drive was probably just multiple (4-8) 5.25 drives in a case. 1TB didn't make the same impression because we were already getting to the "more than you need for most use cases" range and the external formats were about as compact as the internal ones with laptop form factor drives. But TB scale in a micro SD format... Yeah, that is a similar impression to the GB HDD era.
