    Maybe if you’re getting refurbished drives, sure. But new drives are still more frequently around 0.02-0.05 per GB.

    Someone do one for the average physical size taken up by 1 GB.

    When I was a kid we had a 500 MB drive that was the size of a brick and now we have microsd cards that are 1TB. Pretty wild.

      The spec exists for a 128TB SDUC card.
      There probably doesn’t exists one yet, or maybe only in a lab somewhere and probably costs more than my car.
      Still, today’s storage density is kinda nuts.
      Within my lifetime, we’ve went from 1.5MB being high-density portable storage, now you can have a 2TB thumb drive in your pocket.

    The trouble was less dollar to space in the past as it was dollar to certain benchmarks of space.

    This crazy storage inflation rate is going to kill us all. We need to halt this inflation somehow. Feds?
