I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

Filming 8K in a raw format maybe? (a lot of cameras only have an SD card slot, or only the sd card slot is fast enough to record raw at higher resolutions)
You probably wouldn't need to take it out of the camera either? so the form factor wouldn't be major concern.
It's only 104 MB/s. Not enough for RAW video.

Awesome,
but I wonder if we'll ever get better read and write counts on SD cards. It feels like the size is getting larger than the amount of possible writes to the device, making it kind of moot.
The mockup image is kinda misleading (article admits its crappy lol).
afaik there aren't any current microSD cards 1TB+ that have a u3 or even u1 speed because the increase in storage size comes at the cost of speed.
The development is definitely cool, but the physical size of a microSD is probably very challenging to design around without sacrificing something.
