I still have an S9 with notification LED and expandable storage. I recently upgraded the SD card to 512gb.

I live in fear of this phone dying, and me having to get something disappointing to replace it.

Which is utter bullshit. Especially since a lot of lower end phones have the option for dual sim or one sim and sd. There is literally no reason for flagships to not have that and make file transfering easier.

Honestly, you can't really compare the modern phone memory vs sd card memory anymore.

For pure storage ya, it doesn't really matter. For using it for anything more than that, it's honestly too slow.

UFS 4.0 Sequential Read Speed: Up to 4,200 MB/s Sequential Write Speed: Up to 2,800 MB/s Latency: Very low, making it ideal for high-speed data transfer and multitasking in mobile devices. Usage: Commonly used in high-end smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices where speed and efficiency are critical.

SDUC UHS-I Sequential Read Speed: Up to 104 MB/s Sequential Write Speed: Typically around 70-90 MB/s, though the maximum theoretical speed can go up to 104 MB/s. Latency: Higher compared to UFS 4.0, which can impact performance in tasks requiring quick access to data. Usage: Used primarily in SD cards, which are common in cameras, drones, and other devices requiring expandable storage.

I paid like $150 for a 1GB hard drive on my Toshiba Tecra 510CDT back in the 90s. The guys at the computer store weren't sure if it would even work.

You're only getting 4 TB the size of your pinky nail. 8TB is the size of your thumbnail. Most people can't be arsed to read the article, but you couldn't even read the headline?

1TB may have seemed unlimited back then, but now with 8TB, if an uncompressed Blu-Ray is around 50GB, that can fit 160 Blu-Ray movies. Now, 160 movies may seem like a lot, and it is, but think of how many movies there have been overall over time.

You can never have enough storage.
