MODERATORS
I’m guessing with a three day dump estimate? Thermal throttling on SD cards is brutal.
The article says 10MB/s minimum write speed, which would take 4.6 days to transfer 4TB, so... yeah. Even with the "max theoretical transfer rates" of 104MB/s (which is probably just read if anything) that's still almost 11 hours.
It's almost two for a 256GB, so that sounds about right. I wonder how big microSD will get?
