I hope someone make something tiny but as good as a SSD in future, SD cards are absolute shit.
For me it doesn’t even have to be as tiny as SD card, even a credit card sized memory is good
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 and can’t be recovered if they break.
SD cards are waay less reliable than a SSD and it’s a concern for me
Oh yeah I just found it amusing that the old “unreliable” thing is now being used as a gauge for “reliable enough”
I luckily have no experience with either breaking for me over 15ish years of active computer usage, so I have no fears or trust issues there yet. I also use cloud saves on steam for everything and I’m lucky enough to live in an area with good internet, so worst case I play a different game while my big game is downloading again after I broke something.

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

Depends on what metric you look at.

I’ve had several die on me in Raspberri pi’s after prolonged use.
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
