Pah! That only lasts for an hour - a real Yule Log lasts for the whole twelve days of Christmas Yule, and still has enough left to light the next year's log. Check it on Wikipedia and Yule see I'm right.

The largest storage in the world is 2 exabytes, which is 2 MILLION terabytes. Must be thousands if not millions of USD, euro, pound or anything.

I think it was last year I started noticing the availability of 1TB micro SSD cards. Its amazing how things have changed over the past 30-40 years. I can remember when I was at University, they made a big announcement about having acquired another DiskPack (I think) which brought their total storage up to 500MB! DiskPacks were those dishwasher sized drive units. They probably had storage capacity measured in the 50-100MB. Now you can get a TB crammed into something the size of your thumbnail. What's next? Maybe holo-storage that's measured in Exabytes?
Keep Calm and Carry On

Be aware that there are a lot of fakes out there: they report 2T but have an actual capacity of 16GB or so. They write fine, but once you exceed the genuine capacity the upper address lines are ignored and your previously saved data is overwritten.
The only way to check is to fill the 2TB with data, read it all back, and check that it all reads OK.
This particularly applies with cheap drives - you get what you pay for!
(I got caught with this a decade or so ago myself with an FleaBay SD purchase that seemed like a real bargain )

I was going to post exactly that.
Try to fill it up and read it back. Until then, I'm skeptical.

I take note of your points.
this is a non-branded one. for a branded one, its price(1T) is up to $150 on amazon.

Ah. <$20 vs $150 for a manufacturer you know?

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the place was packed. As the wife walked through the mall she was surprised to look up and see her husband was nowhere around. She was quite upset because they had a lot to do. Because she was so worried, she called him on her phone to ask him where he was.
In a calm voice, the husband said "Honey, do you remember the jewelry store we went into about 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"
The wife choked up and started to cry and said "Yes, I remember that jewelry store".
He said "Well, I'm in the bar right next to it".
