how do they get that much storage onto such a small device?
They use the atoms

Very carefully.
They don't. The card has an integrated 4G radio that connects to cloud storage that gives you the fixed size printed on the card whenever the card is powered on.
>>51967172
They use a really simplistic form of NAND flash. Multiple dies of these NAND cells are stacked up and connected together with simple wire bonding. The dies are so incredibly thin that a dozen or more of them can get stacked up and their height will still be imperceptible.

So they could actually fit even more in one card.

Yes, the only thing really holding capacity back is the economics of it. The more dies in the stack the more chances for something to go wrong, so they're more expensive.

>SanDisk achieved this capacity breakthrough by leveraging the proprietary technology developed last year for the 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, and creating a new design and production process that allows for more bits per die.
>“We continue to push technology boundaries to deliver record-breaking solutions that transform the way consumers use their mobile devices,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing, SanDisk. “By focusing on achieving new capacity and speed milestones, we are able to deliver trusted mobile memory solutions that give consumers the freedom to never stop capturing, saving, or sharing – with the benefit of fast speeds to transfer it all quickly.”

That's what they want you to believe. The real reason behind it is to keep making profit by gradually releasing cards with more memory.

I have a $30 iPod Classic in the mail that's getting a 128GB mSATA SSD. I could install a 256GB+ SSD and BTFO the Lumia.

Just ordered one of these. I hope that my Moto G 2014 won't have any compatibilty problems. Really looking forward to having my whole music library with me on the move though.
What's the physical limit of storage we can put on those?

It becomes more of an issue, for now you could stack around 2-4tb on them, but error rates would be insanely high
