    Can someone explain like I’m 5, how its possible to fit a TB of storage on something so small, and why if its possible to do that are they not used for everything?

      I have no clue, that’s just science gone right. Having so many transistors packed so dense comes with various problems, temperature being the biggest affecting it in lifetime and speed.

      Be happy that not every SSD has just one microSD with a header inside.

      Different use cases (photo/film/smartphone/console) have different requirements. Just one number would not be enough.
