    You can actually store 4TB on most those cards (if you’re ok with automated data deletion to make room)

      Yep. It’s a “write once, read never” storage medium.

        /dev/null is the ultimate storage solution. You can write infinite bytes to it and it’ll never get full or wear out!

      A friend bought a USB stick that had some amazing data size for the era for a cheap price, turned out it ran some sort of zip tool interface and compressed the data

        No one claimed the compression algorithm was lossless! Everything fits inside a single bit if you squint
