SD cards are not a reliable medium term storage mechanism. They wear out much faster then SSD drives.

- gnicholas 5y agoYup, I’d just use it for storing my iTunes library and one of my iPhone backups. I currently use an external drive, which I don’t take everywhere. SD would make it trivial to have both of these with me at all times. I’d also be able to keep all my photos and downloaded videos for travel, without having to worry about filling up my internal storage.
- zmmmmm 5y agoYep. But there are huge types of cases where that's still useful. For example, I have all my docker images on a removable SD card. It's all cached so it doesn't matter but its hundreds of GB I don't need on my main storage.
