We truly live in the future!
![lee.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV3TTiJMsgTYdzSw6rDvbyJkXxCpark85AB4V9VSsz36J/lee.png)

My friend Lee shared with me this picture of him holding a 200gb SD card.

> 200 gigabytes! Anyone else remember 5.25 inch floppy disks with a massive 160kb per side?

It's things like this that bring home the feeling that we really are living in the future.

Remember floppy disks like Lee says? 

The Vic-20 had 3.5kb RAM unless you added the 16kb RAM pack.

My first job out of school as a 15 year old kid was loading up the backup tapes on the hospital PDP-11 mini computer. I think those had under 200kb capacity.

And now ...

<h2><a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/19/nimbus-data-releases-record-100tb-ssd/">World's largest SSD capacity now stands at 100TB</a></h2>
<div class="pull-left">

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/nOPheoS.jpg">
</div><blockquote>
There's a new SSD champion: Nimbus Data has released a drive with a record 100TB of flash storage.
</blockquote>

What next?

We are getting to the point where our day-to-day tech is beyond what we would read about in science fiction when we were growing up.

### What a time to be alive!

OT:

Hi, I have seen you are extensively using @upmyvote for upvotes. I'd like you to not use it anymore (as well as @randowhale), but switch to other upvote bots like @minnowbooster, @boomerang or @smartsteem. 

If you use @upmyvote or @randowhale again for any more posts, they will be flagged to zero. 

OK?

100 TB of flash storage is amazing.  You're right.  The speed of change is mind boggling.  Maybe we will see 1 PB storage soon?  Who knows...

Its crazy to think that the little micro SD card holds the equivalent of 625,000 of those 5.25" floppy disks.  Laid end-to-end that's over 50 miles of disks--that's further than Washington D.C. to Baltimore

I live in Baltimore and that's not a short drive.  Wow. No pun intended.

And the access speed for those floppies was like walking from DC to Baltimore ;)

Guess I was lucky, I started with 1.2Mbyte 8 inch floppy. Then came the 5.25 inch floppy.
