   1TB Micro SD cards are about $5664 dollars per ounce.   
      
   Roughly 28.34 grams per ounce times 2 since its a half gram.   
      
   OOPS!  Surprised none of you guys called me out for that one.

   -------------------------------------------   
   I didn't check the math because have no way to know what the IC itself   
   weighs, and its value is all in a microscopic surface layer anyway. It's   
   like a million dollar painting with $10 worth of paint. I did look up the   
   cards but my money had gone further buying 5TB spinning portable drives for   
   $120.   
      
   That's where I discovered Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) and its drastic   
   write speed drop to 5MB/s when nearing full, so the next backup drives were   
   Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) at $15/TB, or $30 for duplicate   
   backups.   
      
   The SMR drives usually write the first few files at full speed and the drop   
   is intermittent, clearly visible on TeraCopy's graph. SMR is annoying but   
   not useless for write-once backup.   
      
   Speaking of value...

   I helped the set designer create an imitation Jackson Pollock for a musical,   
   and after the show we cut it off the flat and ripped it into quarters and I   
   got one. I heard that another quarter sold for $100. Does that make me an   
   Artist?

   Those continuous thin dribbled lines are more difficult than you might   
   guess.
