SD cards are tiny. Probably 20 or 30TB.


This seems to check out. Given 1TB micro SD cards, a card weight of 2.55 grams each, a carrier pigeon being able to hold 75 grams, and the unrealistic but good enough assumption of no further weight being carried (e.g. tape or something else to keep everything from falling off the pigeon), we get 75 / 2.55 = 29.4117647059 (or 29 even taking the floor, since it doesn't make much sense for a pigeon to carry a partial card).

All these numbers are from google summaries, without further source checking.
