MediaMan

I never said I have everything figured out. I wanted to find out if anyone has any similar experience with having their entire media collection in such a fashion.

Its a real question. Sorry you seem to be in a bad mood, im not here to offend you. 200 Micros are easy to carry around. I carry around 100 as is (I do a shit load of photography). They are fast enough (80-90MB/s), and they are organized. I do not need an excel file, I use snap2html and vvv. I do not need to hand label them, but the holder they are in. Expensive yes, but until they come out with 10TB Micros, its going to be that way. No, not for shits and giggles. No, thread is not closed. Have a better day that the one you are having now.

It would give me the option to watch whatever I want on the go. Sorry you think I am trolling, but I am not.

If I were to buy regular SSDs, then I would purchase a 100TB SSD. That is not the point. The point is being able to view my entire media library by inserting micros into my phone (lg g8x thinq dual screen). If I wanted a regular SSD, I would have not made this thread. My transfer speeds on my SD Cards are between 80 and 90MB/s. It used to be sub 40MB/s until I bought the Lexar 3 port MicroSD Card Hub. No erasing would be done on these cards. They would mainly be write once, read many. That defeats the purpose I have listed. A NAS does not allow for portability. Different strokes for different folks.

I have been thinking for awhile now on purchasing 200 1TB MicroSD Cards to transfer my data to (off of my hard drives). My reasoning for this is that I have been looking for a simpler way of carrying my media collection with me, without needing to connect to a cloud service. Do you think that this is reasonable? If I were to go to having a smartphone instead of a pc or laptop, then carrying my media with me would be easier than ever before! But at $200 USD per card, it would be very costly ($40,000 not including any taxes). Has anyone done anything similar to this? I use the SD Card Holders to put my Micros in as is, and they're 2 to 3 times as thick as your standard credit card, meaning that I would need (they fit 11 cards each) 19 holders in total, equaling 38-57 credit cards thick, or 29mm to 44mm (1.2 to 1.7 inches). This is significantly less than your standard hard drive's size, and even is comparable to a portable external hard drive. Of course, data management would be a pain, but if properly organized, could work out in my favor. Have any of you tried something similar to what I plan on doing?

I know Externals do not count, but I prefer them tbh. Never had a single problem with any of my externals, whereas ive had some problems with Internals. All in all, while I don't expect to be counted, am at 231TB.

It really just depends on what your use case is.
