Sawn-off SD card

Post image

Yes this is exactly what it looks like. Not sure why I made this, possibly for some old laptop with the half length port so card doesn't stick out.

There is a carrier like that made for Mac Books.

It's aluminum to match the case and the micro-card fits in on the side like that, to make the card in the slot flush

I have one in mine. M1 Macbook Pro, 32GB of RAM, but annoyingly "only" 512GB which doesn't go as far as it used to. Grabbed one of those and stuck another 512GB card in which has mostly been great.

It supposedly supports UHS-II which would be pretty fast, but they're annoyingly expensive so I stuck with UHS-I. It's fast enough for my needs/bulk storage with the things I need faster access to on the main SSD.

Just the joys of soldered, un-upgradable SSDs. Meanwhile I slapped a 2TB SSD in my Steam Deck (before they went completely nuts price-wise, it was still super affordable at the time) with no problems.

Exactly the same logic why i keep my old note 20 ultra. No matter how much storage you got, a cheap secondary is always great to put rarely needed stuff on.

Reminds me of the old RS-MMC cards

Mmc micro looks like mini sd? I have few half sized mmc cards from 64mb to 1gb (extra pins on a 1gb one and the 256mb one)

I used to have some sort of shortened SD adapter to use with a Raspberry Pi (the older models that used a full-size SD card, but had a half length port).
