So, 2TB micro SD cards are how much volume? I am not sure what's novel here - or is it the WORM nature of the feat?

Using the bounding box dimensions for a MicroSD card (15x11x1mm) gives a volume of 0.165 cm3, so with 2TB per card now, that gives 12.1TB/cm3...

..which, quite frankly, is insane. I mean, even being able to shovel 2TB of data onto something the size of a fingernail still blows my mind, but the thought of being able to store 12TB in the space taken up by a sugar cube or a D6, when it really wasn't all that long ago being able to store even 1GB on a 3.5" hard drive was every bit as mind blowing at the time, really does make me stop and think about just how far we've come in such a short period of time, and what sort of similar mind blowing technological advances are yet to come over the next few decades.
