- TheRealPomax 6y agoSD card reading on the chip is also cheap, and doesn't require removing if you add an m.2 connector. No need to get rid of SD.
- freeone3000 6y agoIt might require removing to save on the physical space - an m2 connector requires a large amount of physical space compared to the SD card (for the retention screw). It might not have room for both.
- TheRealPomax 6y agoSo... that's fine, then? Telling people "you get an SD card connector and an m.2, you can't use both at the same time" seems perfectly reasonable to me. Have them overlap, done. Now people who want to use a $5 SD card with the slow speeds that come with that can do so, and people who want high speed but with the higher cost of a reliable m.2 drive instead can do so, too. No one loses.
