The biggest problem was heat. If you used the drive for longer than a few minutes the the speed dropped to a crawl.
The second part was the caching issue, it can read really fast but writing was very inconsistent. Small files were quick, large ones showed down a lot.
The second problem was the reliability. These micro sd cards aren’t meant to be used for constant writing. Think about those dash cams with microsd, if you have then set to constant recording the micro sd cards usually fails in just a few years. Now imagine you have 20 of these. It’s like a ticking time bomb.
But overall, it was fun to give these little microsd cards a new life. It’s good enough to play games on, at least games from 10 years ago when i did this.
