One thing to note, those aren't the fastest SD cards, those are the fastest UHS-II SD cards. The future is SD Express and you can already get microSDs at 900 MB/s.

SD expires cards are still on my watch list after seeing this https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/9/22665216/sd-express-card-s.... But even then, that's only 3x faster, so you're still putting down 71 ish (I think my original number was 213.33) cards, which means 71 PCIe PHYs and NVMe stacks.

  • Get a PCIe 4 model and then you're at 35, and that's microSD doing that speed so 35 microSD is pretty compact.

    For a thought experiment that's not even optimized for speed, that's pretty good.
