Comment on iPhone guy wondering how you guys manage your gallery!
LeapSecond@lemmy.zip 4 days agoOut of curiosity what do you find slow in SD cards? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a delay when taking photos/videos and watching a movie in HD directly from the SD card is also fine. It’s slower when moving stuff around but that’s not something that needs to happen immediately.

No, SD access is fine. I have one in my Switch and I think Skyrim is running off of it. That’s wild! Yes, I mainly mean the data transfer speeds. They’re slow and don’t need to be.
I put HD/4K movies on my phone over WiFi and the speeds are incredible. SD cards could never. Ii is a shame so many new Android phones are leaving the card slots out, especially the expensive ones, and they should be replacing them with a new standard. I think the new Express cards the Switch 2 uses are faster. I’d almost rather use a flash drive or portable SSD — I got a 2TB Samsung T7 a couple years ago for about $120. Strap that to the back of a phone. (Even iPhone can do that now!)

I see, it’s not a deal breaker for me but it makes sense if you transfer files very often.
