What can even use these things? I know it’s a chicken and egg problem, but c’mon. Never mind they’re still slow AF (30MB/s claimed write speeds, which probably won’t hold up under sustained loads), so it’ll take forever to fill them.
Of course, my first computer with a disk drive was a Commodore 64 in the 1980s which took nearly five full minutes to read a 174KB floppy. - so WTF am I whining about?
Hopefully these are more reliable than the SD cards I’ve used lol. I can’t imagine losing such an expensive card and 8TB of data after only owning it for a couple months lol. Of course at SD card speeds you wouldn’t be able to fill it in just a couple months…
If them having more capacity means they’ll have a better lifetime under constant writes (because the same sector gets overwritten less often), then they’ll be good for dashcams and local storage for security cameras.
It’s ridiculous that they are limiting such an expensive card to UHS-I. They should use SD Express. That adds a second row of pins for PCIe while still being backwards compatible with UHS-I.

The article states minimum speeds of 30 MB/s maximum at 104 MB/s. Which is better, but not by much.
