Not yet ... it is the only easy medium for artifact storage of large volumes of data, like movies
@questionWeaver I saw 2TB FOBs on Amazon yesterday for $22. Blew my mind. Blank DVDs are down to about 20 cents in bulk and hold half a Terabyte, but still, $22 for 2TB preformatted and USB 3.0 speed. Insane.
@SWisGoingWoke It is flat magnetic mediums that are reaching their physical and production limits.

Achieving 100 TB on a USB attachable storage drive is the next stop

How to get there is challenging

$22 FOBs encourages us!
@questionWeaver At the risk of revealing my age, my first hard drive was $10,000 and 5MB. It came from Shugart and was in a metal case that was slightly larger than a briefcase. That was 35 years ago and the advancements in storage capacity boggle my mind. Hell, I've still got some Zip drives and magnetic tape cartridges around here...
@SWisGoingWoke The advances are staggering
