    ah finally, i can buy a micro sd card for 500 dollars, the same price as a gazillion terabyte harddrive, and get less reliability out of it.

      yeah, but you can carry it with you at all times if your phone takes an SD card.

      although, can they use one that large, or is there some restriction?

        I think most phones have a 1tb cap … But nowadays most phones don’t have SD card slots so I don’t know where that has gone

        this is true, my phone supports up to 400GB but it’s a bit older. Anything over about 512GB and you’re gonna run into issues writing and reading data reliably/fast enough. I’ve yet to find a way to transfer more than like 5Gb of files reliably to my android lmao.

        It’s just a shit platform with shit software implementations, there’s not really much you can do about it.
