Probably not what you were expecting, but I wanted to figure it out. Assuming that

  • A midsize car has a maximum interior volume of 3,370 L according to the EPA (not sure how appropriate or complete that number is, but I'll use it).
  • We subtract from that the average volume of the human driving the car, whose volume is 66.4 L as per WolframAlpha.
  • The volume of an M.2-2280 device is 2.6433 mL if my math is correct, as suggested by this Amazon product page for an SSD, which lists the size as 1.17 in × 2 in × 0.14 in.
  • The trip between Los Angeles and New York City takes 40 hours by car, which is what Apple Maps currently says is the travel time for the fastest route.
  • You never have to refuel or stop for anything at all, and loading/unloading the devices is instant.
  • All the SSDs are 2 TB in capacity.

    First we need to figure out how much capacity we can fit in the station wagon. Minus the human driver, the interior volume of the car is 3,303.6 L, meaning that we can fit 1,249,801 SSDs in that car. At 2 TB each, that's 2,499,602 TB, or 2,200 petabytes.

    Now, changing that number of terabytes into gigabits, and changing that number of hours into seconds, we get 19996820000 gigabits and 144000 seconds, and dividing the two, we get a nice 138,866 Gbps link between LA and NYC, if you can ignore the 288,000,000 ms ping time. And, of course, the cost.

As far as I can tell it's an M.2 slot, but I would double check and do some research first

Here's a 256GB SSD: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-256GB-Internal-Solid-CT256M550SSD4/dp/B00ITFZTLI/

512GB: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-512GB-Internal-Solid-CT512M550SSD4/dp/B00ITFZTHC

Found a video showing how to take it apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsF0Bpuj8ss

It could be though. Theres really no excuse for iphones not to have a sd card reader.

This still doesn't save much space by being soldered on.

I didn't say an m sata drive, I said a sata m.2 drive

https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-512GB-Internal-Solid-CT512M550SSD4/dp/B00ITFZTHC


you see this drive? it's an m.2 drive. see how it has two notches, the B and the M notch? that means it is not a full 4X PCIE drive, but actually works on the sata bus. that drive will fix into both a B notched m.2 socket, and an M notched m.2 socket.

notice how it is capped at 550mbps? that's because that's the limit of SATA. that drive in particular is fucking overpriced like a motherfucker, but you can get cheap SATA m.2 SSDs since they have 1/4 the write speed of today's top of the line PCIE m.2 drives

here, read this article, it should cover the basics, but I'm going to bed since I have to work tomorrow
