Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

128TB SD cards sounds awesome if they perform well. Now if we could just get a 128TB microSD that performs close to a PCIe I'll be swallowing my OS in a digestion proof container if necessary.

SD Express is advertised as PCIe gen 3 speeds (~1GBps) but will be a while before we see a microsd like that lol

I guess I could swallow an SD card if I had to. 😮

Not quite the same thing but modern high end cameras use CF-Express (as in compact flash). They communicate over PCIe using the same protocol as NVMe drives but have fewer lanes and usually are smaller. The tricky part is with their small size you don't have as much room to cram as many flash chips onto a card compared to a 2280 NVMe.
