  Uh that already exists, MicroSD Express. It’s essentially a PCIe Gen 3 x1 NVMe SSD under the hood

    Are they as reliable as an SSD? If not then the probpem is still there

      I remember people saying that about SSDs vs HDDs, SSDs were the unreliable newfangled junk. Am I old?

        SSDs are less reliable than an HDD if we speak about lifespan (which is still pretty high) but it’s not really a problem for the avarage joe plus they got better in the years. SD cards are waay less reliable than a SSD and it’s a concern for me

  There’s already small NVMe drives the size of, say, four SD cards with up to 1-2 TB capacity. So it shouldn’t be long I reckon.

    Crazy, i hope that companies start to adopt them instead of SD cards soon

      Xbox series s/x has ssds like this but they’re pretty expensive. Not sure if the price is high because of the tech, the specs or the licensing
