How much do the drives cost? How slow is the data transfer? It doesn't make sense anymore.

SD cards are the final form of physical media. They are a size and density that it can hold anything you could possibly want. They are portable hard drives in the size of a postage stamp. 8k media is going to be useless with the ability of the human eye being exceeded if you are more than a few feet away from the screen.

If you covered an entire house in California, it could reasonably power 10 homes every day. If you covered a parking lot in California, it could power multiple buildings. 200 Sq km of empty Arizona desert could power the entire US right now.

Which is close to silicon cells, making them roughly equal in power, but cheaper, lighter, and more functional, along with more dangerous because of the materials in them.
