SanDisk Extreme® microSDXC™ UHS-I CARD
from SanDis
4.9 out of 5 stars.
1 TB
$149.

A terabyte has a storage drive capacity of about 1 trillion bytes or, more specifically, 1,099,511,627,776 bytes; 1,073,741,824 kilobytes; or 1,048,576 megabytes. In practical terms, a terabyte of data is equivalent to the following: 728,177 floppy disks.

I remember using 5" floppies, 3.5" floppies.

If you were scanning 8.5”x11” paper pages into PDF images at 60,000 characters / page, you’d be able to fit 16,667 scanned pages in one trillion bytes of storage. If you scan at higher resolutions, page size goes up, and number of pages per trillion bytes of storage goes down correspondingly.
 

Our 1st. PC had a whopping 450 mega byte HD for capacity. Now in a few days on the web I get more than 1000 mega bytes of cookie tracking.

Not sure but I think my SSHD has 1 terra byte capacity. Gotta love how technology has improved.

Well, my first had DOS on it. It was a 8/12 hertz or a 8088 the hard drive was 10 mega bytes. I used 5" & 3.5" floppies. The hard drive was as wide and long as a 5" floppy, but 3" thick.

I got an old Windows 1.1 floppy and installed it. It took it, but took 5 minutes to boot up.

I had one of those XT computers that only had a 5 MB HD and 640k of RAM. :ROFLMAO:

I have a version of Windows 1.1 in the original box. I wonder if it's worth anything.
 
What a coincidence I bought a Sandisk SSD External hard drive today1TB today for $99.00 AU.

I was just wondering why the excitement about 1 TB when HD's have had more than 1 TB for a long time now .. :unsure:

These are the tiny SD cards you plug into your phone or camera. It’s pretty impressive to get 1T on them but they are not really comparable to an SSD or HD. They come in handy if you want to store a lot pictures or mp3 files on your phone or take a lot of pictures on your camera.

Works wonders until someone steals your phone and you say "goodbye" to your 25,000 photos that you and your wife took on that 4 month trip around the perimeter of Australia. Oh, you forgot to backup? There were just way too many kangaroos in all that outback country! Tsk! Tsk!
 
Well, I still have a copy of MS DOS in a box somewhere. Can't seem to get myself to get rid of it.

In terms of storage, little thumb drives with lots of storage space are useful in terms of the ability to carry them around and plug them into a computer — storage space does not only mean a computer's hard drive.

This is a thumb drive.
ADDED: It's approximately two(?) inches long and less than half an inch wide, and it plugs into a computer's USB port:

Will any card reader, read the disc, I remember when you needed
a programme, to read it with the reader on the PC, or to plug in
the original equipment that was used to get the data on to the
card, like a camera, or a phone.

Maybe the Windows' versions of today are different.

Mike.

There's a free program called CCleaner which I've been using for years. It does a great job of clearing cookies, and cache, and it even has a registry cleaning tool that scans the registry for invalid entries. I've never had it cause an issue. It's free and works great.
 
I have several memory sticks, and also the SD card, as you can see. the SD card shown is actually the adapter so it fits in either a larger or a small port.
I prefer the memory sticks, but I do use them all. The black one I have had for about 10 years now, and it still works just fine. I haven't run out of storage space on any of my units.

Goodness, I have some very old things here, some are old video game consoles and games. I have 8 track tapes. My husband sold many of them before he passed.

I have a few things that were my Mothers. A Singer Sewing machine in a black case from the 50's, a Bell and Howell projector and screen from the 60's, some hard sided luggage, Samsonite, from the 50's.

I just leave it all alone, the son will either sell these things or hold onto them, I am not worried about it.
