If nothing else, it means that the 128gb cards should start dropping sharply in the next couple of months.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Nice one.

So porn or The Simpsons torrent?

[great_badir]

First one.  Obvs.

If only they could invent a flash drive that doesn't break every time it gets bent by one degrees.

200GB? 200GB!? Where's the other 56GB?

Powers of fucking two! ...32, 64, 128, then 256GB!!! They had a 128GB one, where's the 256???

Seriously though. 200GB[nb]1.21 Jigawatts?![/nb] in a card the size of one of my fingernails? That would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. Sod paying four hundred dollaridoos for one though.

No price though.

Do a SMART check on a well used SSD (say four months) and it will make your monocle pop. Nobody yet knows how long these things really last.

I had one that failed after about four months or so. Then again my C drive is solid state and that's lasted for a good few years now.
