100 years later, and it's not going to be compatible with USB 10.0.

The MicroSD market should be bigger and faster, just about every non apple product does use it, (every phone) why are they slow and low?

8GB and 16GB is not a lot of space for today's megapixel cameras or HD camcorders.

 

[koga73]

have they verified the data after the claimed 100 years?

Humm.... I want a 64gb card for my phone....

But it might be worth $219 (MSRP) about 4 years ago.... Its about time 32gb cards hit the $60 MSRP and 64gb cards should retail for around $99.

I guess I will skip this one.

I could build something shmancy looking and claim 200yrs storage..., who's gonna call me out on that after 200yrs if it fails? That is a steep price for 16GB which is nothing by current standards. whatev

That's great - I really want my photos to be intact when I'm 130.

You've probably have to keep that vintage win7 machine, with perfectly working screen. mouse, usb port, etc 100 years in to the future if you want to access the vault. Then, hope that someone make new driver so you can migrate from your ancient machine after that 100 years.

Even NASA recently have trouble accessing old apollo data tapes, and thats just 40 years ago.

Man, there better be USB2.0 ports still available in 100 years for that to be useful.

But I'm really digging the 64GB microSD however. The color scheme looks great too.

Wall paintings have existed intact for thousands of years, but yet can still be deciphered even today.

What we need is software that will intelligently manage our photo libraries and relocate/convert as necessary.

[citation][nom]__-_-_-__[/nom]is USB 34523456738956.0 version compatible with USB 2.0?[/citation]
I seriously dont think we'll be using USB by then.

Very good, sandisk. These Sandisk Vaults are good to give or pass down to your children as a keep sake with heaps of photos. Although some porno buff wouldn't mind this either I guess.

 

[junixophobia]

yeah right, I am sure my grandson would love to see his father's naked baby pictures...

come to think of it, I hope facebook is still there after 100 years...

Someone claimed some brand of DVD+R can lasts up to 100 years
but in reality that it only lasted less than 6 years! (some extreme cases less than 1 year)
