Good riddance. MicroSD cards are way overused as a storage medium, and they are such a fucking crapshoot quality-wise. We are long overdue for an external variant of NVMe that can take it's place in all but the most micro of applications.
- candiodari 2y agoBut the electronics and protocol is so simple. I'll miss them when they're gone, because you won't be finding any DIY electronics tutorials to write NVME cards. And that will be a big loss.
- Nullabillity 2y agoOnly the (much slower) SPI mode even has public documentation, not the native SD protocol.
- dmitrygr 2y ago“Abbreviated specs” have been available from SDA for at least a decade and have enough info to implement a working sd host or card. Source: done both of those.

- NikkiA 2y ago> We are long overdue for an external variant of NVMe CFexpress, it's been around for a few years and already in a few major cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFexpress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFexpress
- geerlingguy 2y agoThe only problem with CFExpress is since it's mostly deployed in higher-end cameras, card makers are charging pretty high prices for them. We need more value options before I think that format could take off on the lower end. Would love to see it though!
