This brings back my memories (maybe 12 years ago) developing the 1GB CompactFlash card firmware at a previous job. That amount of capacity felt unbelievably huge at that time. Infact the first cards I worked on had only 4MB capacity!

I've observed in the past that storage capacity per drive/media seems to grow at around roughly three magnitudes per decade. I'm looking forward to my 1PB SD card equivalent in the late 2020's.

Heh, though in this case we have a few more data points. But of course it'll break down at some point.
