why is storage technology advancing so slowly?

It's not

they want you to use the cloud

The fuck are you talking about? In 2010 if someone pulled out a 256gb micro SD card or a 4 tb hard drive I would have thought they were an alien.

>>61055478
This image literally makes me stress the fuck out. I imagine being in a similar situation, unable to move my body in any direction, can't breathe, can't even kill myself to make it end.

Jesus fucking christ. Why would anyone do this shit.

>>61055516
I fucking know. I could see if at the end of that there was some hidden treasure worth millions or something but all that just to see more dark damp cave that's full of spiders is fucking insane.

>>61055516
the story behind the image is just as creepy google Ted the Caver, its a decent read.

>>61055516
looks shooped if that makes you feel better

Why are SSDs 480GB, 960GB etc when hard drives are 500GB, 1TB etc?

Just 100 years ago we didn't have any of that crap.

Oh for fucks sake go back to the world where giant magneto resistance did not exist... Things used to be much worse... Novell Electromagnetic hacks only come around once every generation... And if you are talking about non volatile silicon storage (((who))) the fuck knows ... My first iPod touch was 16gb !!! The yields on that storage are shit and we are running into atoms.

Bout time for the lmaos to drop some true 3D holographic nano photonic shit

I can't wait to have my whole 24/194 and DSD flac catalogue on my iPhone streaming through Bluetooth earbuds... J/K

>>61055478
THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO STORE!

Been obvious to me

The next gen laptops/ tablets won't even have storage on them, the storage will be in the cloud(just like some chromebooks) so you'll need internet for everything and if you're bad, your account gets shut down .

I will, to your mom when I'm deep in that dino snatch.

It is advancing! SSD's have become commonplace in computers and are quickly catching up with harddisks in terms of cost to capacity ratios

>>61055562
It's not. It's real.

>>61055505
That's 6 and a half years ago, Anon-kun. And that's still considered slow even in 2010.

The problem is tech is advancing more in power faster than efficiency. Some people use gaming consoles to stream shows. What a waste of fucking energy.

>>61055770

He heard Alex Jones ramble about it and thinks that's how it works

>>61055489
we already found ways to backup data into crystals literally the stargate sg1 way

and we are stuck on fucking nand modules

yeah we are so advancing

>>61056547
You must be young. The first hard drive to break 1GB was introduced in 1980 was the size of a fridge and weighed 250kg. I'd say we've seen some kind of awesome improvements in both weight, size and storage capacity.

>>61055505
tfw tb SD cards were already a known thing in 2010 (and being produced, not that any of us cheap consumers would know about it though, as they're still milking us)

>4tb HDD
... you serious?

>>61055596
wow, you weren't even alive 100 years ago!

>>61055901
>wriggled headfirst into a narrow, unmapped tunnel
totally asking for it.

>>61055516
So how did they take that photo if he was stuck headfirst?

>>61055478
It's the jews

>>61056781
How did he even get stuck?

>>61056781
That's not the guy stuck in nutty putty cave. It's from a spooky internet cave exploring site. Google Ted the Caver.

>>61056511
Are you kidding? Consoles wouldn't use much power at all to stream video.

>>61056828
They use power just to stay on and spin the hard disk cooling fan etc.

>>61055505
You really lack imagination.
That was like what, 3 - 4 doublings of memory?

>>61056990
I think phones can have that much storage now.

>>61057055
Yeah, but phones are throwaway garbage consumer tech.

>>61056963
They likely use less than a typical light bulb.

>>61056604
compared to other tech its pathetic though, we ought to have 16 Tb hdds as the standard now, meanwhile in the span of 7 years gpus went from 512 mb to 16 gb of vram and the amount of cores went from 2 to 8 (with 16 threads too)

You mean 2tb SSD and 10tb HDD

I do like how a 300gb harddrive goes for $20 nowadays. I know a $50 1TB is "the better deal," but if you want to buy spare harddrives for a rainy day incase your harddrive/ssd spontaneously dies or if you ever wanted to have a RAID setup, there has never been a cheaper time.

>>61056828
Consoles have always been notorious for having shit power efficieny.

>>61055478
it isn't? a solid state drive with a usb port was the same price 7 years ago but had 1/64 the storage capacity.

A 500 GB drive was the same price as it is today in 2010, but the technology is much faster and now has no moving parts.

Old hard drives are dirt cheap.

New clock speeds on ram come out pretty regularly.
