SanDisk is letting you put 1TB of data on a card the size of a fingernail.

The company's massive-but-minute Extreme microSD UHS-I Card is now available for $450, months after its reveal at Mobile World Congress.

The product page, reported earlier by Tom's Guide, notes read speeds up to 90MB/s and write speeds up to 60MB/s, which is a little slower than the world's fastest flash memory option that SanDisk promised at MWC.

Now you can lose even more data in the washing machine or in the detritus in the bottom of your attache.

    I run an FTP server (FTP Server Pro) on my phone, along with 128GB TF card.

    I also run that old Ipswitch FTP client on the PC side... WSFTPLE 6 , iirc.

    So I backup all of my critical work files to my phone, just to make damned sure I can regenerate my environment should I have to.

    I even have "WiFi Access Point" also loaded on all my phones, so that in the event I have go solo, I can establish a local network. Its not fast, but for me, it works good enough.

    I am still leery of "cloud" stuff after "Plays For Sure" set a new level of expectations of commercial "business grade" software. I am not an executive who has stacks of "not my problem" cards to play. If it screws up, I take the hit personally. And it would cause me great grief to lose what I spent years of my life creating. For many executive types, such a loss is nothing more than reports at the conference table, with no impact whatsoever personally.

    I welcome these tiny TF cards as local data backup in my personal possession.
