https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile never underestimate the bandwidth of...a shipping container full of disks? REALLY? 100 Petabytes. Computing, it's different now.

I am sure it's been considered. MicroSD reliability is complicated.
Any storage reliability profile can be dealt with using appropriate error correction/erasure coding.

You know, your solution _does_ suggest it's no big deal to essentially hack microSD cards into being flash tape drives, so uh, you've got certain other reliability issues that erasure codes aren't going to cover.

Lemme put it this way: Scale here is large enough that if they want to use flash instead of spinning disks, they don't need to mess around with hacked up form factors. They can just go buy 100PB of flash.
