In 20 years they're going to look back and say "1Tb?" "Heh... that's cute."
dont you mean, look forward
@@anywaystohighway No. Look back is right because he is speaking of future people looking back at us buddy.
Make that 10 years.
At one point we thought 1 tb was huge asf. also I remember when ps3s came with like 40gb of space
People were fascinated when the iPod launched almost 20 years ago, because it had a 5GB hard drive that would fit in your pocket.
Linus is fascinated by tiny things.

Raspberry Pi guys:
*HEAVY BREATHING*
Who knows, maybe the next R-Pi comes with an NVMe slot.
Have they been tested and quarantined?
@@JulianSildenLanglo You can do it through USB but IDK the repercussions
@@philspaghet It can already use NVMe on M.2 with a little physical modding to the rock pi circuit board. After removing the replacing a chip with another you will get a M.2 NVMe drive with PCIe 2.0 speeds. NVMe might not work off the bat so a software modification might also be needed. So yes you can you just have to mod the board and i am pretty sure when you do you will need a new case due to it being on the bottom not the top.
To that if you want anything other than basic functions from the raspberry pi and boards derived from it you need to mod the board or get the GPIO pins programmed to interface with another chip board.

Maybe flex tape!
Sounds very British Army.
There are actually adapter plates that allow you to easily fit smaller m.2 drives into spaces designed for larger ones.
would you electrical tape the heatsink onto the motherboard?!?!?!
dumpsterdawg I wonder if carbon fibre tape would do anything - as a Heatsink .

Well, not like he could have hurt it by dropping it. Although, he could have lost it just by the fact that it's so small it could have flung anywhere.
It's okay they dropped it off camera so that he wouldn't have the urge
"This WAS a full fledged nvme ssd with 1 terabyte!"
1tb was $4k just 10 years ago? I literally have a 2tb SSD for like $200, that's crazy.
Hah, yeah! I remember buying, and being very happy with, a 64GB SSD for like 200-250 bucks around that time! :P But to be fair, even the biggest games occupied only between 10 and 30GB then, with WinXP being 4GB at most and Win7 being around 20GB at the worst. Simpler times. ;)
@@Yuzuki1337 yeah, 10 years from now we might even need like 256Gb ram just for games haha
My old 120 GB was something to behold, at $300 back around 2011. Was very much worth the upgrade compared to a HDD, even over SATA 2. Most OEM PCs didn't come with SSD until several years later. Nowadays, I'm quite happy with 500 GB for ±$80, since I don't game and I store my files on a server.
@@matthewtuel2747 ssds are really something else these days huh? I remember when I first got an xbox 360 and struggled to fill up the 60gb hard drive, and now my pc literally has an ssd that's MUCH faster and is literally almost 40x the size

So this is what is inside of the Xbox Series X's external "memory card"
Yeah. I'm sure it is exactly the same tech. But MS in their infinite wisdom just can disable usage of third party ones. Yay.
Although seeing their open source approach and no more forcing users to use a particular platform in the recent years I won't be surprised if they allowed any similar drive expansions.
@@abhishekmaurya3453 Maybe we'll see something like an "Xbox Expansion Card to M.2 adapter".
It's similar, the big difference is the Xbox Series X version is much much faster. The one Linus is hold has a peak performance of 1.5GB/s. The Seagate one in the XBSX has a peak performance of 2.4GB/s and proper cooling to sustain the speed.

Do you know what's even more mind blowing? Back in 2011 when iPhone 4 came out (Steve Jobs still alive) Japan has the Rights to alter the internal capacity of iPhone. They had 1TB iPhone 4 which never sold anywhere except Japan. They don't even put it on internet. That trend continues till today, Japan still has Rights to alter the internal capacity of iPhone and Android that is "Made in Japan" has tremendous amount of Capacity and Not Being sold outside Japan. A mainstream Sony Experia series in Japan has 1TB or higher and that's normal thing.

They were bound to become popular at some point. Size difference is staggering especially when you have devices like surface pro. Every mm matters.

Linus, I learned more from you on this video due to its focus on a single topic and due to your greater efforts to deliver the information slowly. You allowed me to understand more about the tiny SSD drive versus the SATA type drive. Thank you.
This SSD + a Thunderbolt 3 M.2 2230 NVME enclosure, would be F'ing amazing. (TB3 or USB4 in the future)
You can already get cheap chinese TB3 NVME enclosures online. You just need to downscale it to make as as compact as possible. And make the enclosure contact the SSD directly. Have the enclosure use thermal transfer of some type and make the enclosure out of extruded finned aluminum. I could even design such an enclosure.
If you do, I wanna buy one
Imagine the future with integrated high end pc specs on slim computer monitors. I hope to be still around by then.

To be fair, 10 years in the tech world is ancient. From 2000 to 2010 we went from computers just hitting the 1GHz mark on a single core to a 3.2GHz six core processor on a mainstream processor. Since 2010 we've gone to the 3900X which doubles that core count again for the same price. 10 years is a really long time in tech.
It's been ten years. In 2010 you could laugh at 2000 tech in probably the same fashion.

Back in the days(which wasn't actually long ago), 1TB storage was like a whole array of HDD. My first pc was built with a whooping 64gb HDD back in 2004, running windows xp, gt 3200 and an extra fast 3.6 GHz P4 HT. The HDD wasn't even half filled before i replaced it with a 250GB one.

2:38 LTT casually doing better journalism than many major news outlets
Dell actually has something just like this on their online store.
Much easier to get a hold of.
There are tiny m.2 enclosures for 2242 form factor for both sata and nvme ssds. You can make a seriously tiny and fast external storage device with these components.
I'm just surprised they actually did the thing I was complaining about during the turn of SSD. Why more manufacturers didn't bother making a 3.5" SSD confuses me. Desktops didn't have a slot for 2.5", so I hated the idea of buying one for the longest time.
Oh, faster speeds? But it just sits in the case flopping around because there's no where to mount it! Now, I don't care. So what if my case doesn't have 2.5" slots. SSDs can be thrown around without damage, so just slap it anywhere out of the way. What's that rattling around when I take the computer to a friend's house who has high speed internet for updating my games? Oh, don't worry about that, just some $200 plastic that keeps all my data safe.
God, remember when 250GB external HDDs were $100? I have that thing still.
Now that it's been confirmed that the XSeX uses a PCIe 4.0 internal SSD of this size, I'm hoping this means we'll start seeing manufacturers like Kioxia putting this form factor out to sell commercially.
the weird thing is that it's already part of the m.2 formfactor, manufacturers just... don't use it? the official m.2 standard allows for a wide variety of heights and lengths, we just rarely see anyone doing anything besides 2280 and 2242
I believe that heat sink sticker make a huge difference. It's like cover yourself with a metal duvet instead of news papers.
