2 simple reasons I stopped using an sd card

Sd card (aka "memory card) also known as external memory, of course is a common possession among Nigerians but such is not the same with other countries as they use modern features such as "Cloud storage" it's like..unfortunately Nigeria is still a bit far from adapting this trend.
So in this post, I'm gonna explain to you the bads of using an sd card and hopefully convince you in using other easy storage option such as Cloud storage
so first I'm gonna start with the disadvantages of an sd card.

1. It makes your phone lag..
Have you ever notice or have ever tried comparing your phone startup speed? (that is the time it takes to power on or off??)
..well if you have ever tried it, you'll notice that you phone boots(startup) faster without sd card especially those with bigger memory size such as 64,128,256GB..that's why flagship such as the Xiaomi mi6 and even the upcoming Essential PH-1 are been released without sd card slot.. so the whole point here is to tell you that, an sd card could cause your phone to lag or probably hang..also take note that it might not be noticeable in some phones with advance and the latest processors such as those with "snapdragon SoC" or recent "mediatek chipsets series".

2. virus attacks
Of course almost everyone is aware of this ugly fact..sd card are very prone to virus and the only solution is to format it and in the process you tend to lose all your valuable data such as music,videos,pictures, e. t. c

so, yeah..that's all for now I hope you were a bit convinced
p. s :I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a memory card, all I'm trying to say is that..next time when getting a new device, go for those with big internal memory so that you can avoid the stress of buying an sd card and also the consequences that comes with it.

Please, next time speak on a subject that you are very conversant with.

Cloud storage is not synonymous to memory cards in the way you described it. You don't install Apps in your phone on the cloud, you only use it as backup for picture, files, etc..if you use memory cards in that fashion, it will be faster than cloud story and on boot up, your phone will not access the memory.

Secondly, using cloud storage incurs excessive data charges, not economical, plus your data may not be available everything you need them as you are not reliant on third parties like you mobile provider or WiFi provider to have access to them.

If there is virus in your phone, chances are; it will also infect your cloud stored files, if you access those files from an infected phone.

Papadoh:

What sort of rubbish is this? You guys are derailing the thread, go find somewhere else to discuss your girl issues.

ddjay:

my sd card has 2315 audio songs (12.6gb) videos kon 639 (10gb) instead of making normal contribution to the profit of dis rubbish gsm companies, u want me to upload to some cloud storage with dis heavy data size, even spend more mobile data to play the audio or video.because am d one dat wld make ds rubbish gsm service providers to add more range rover, g class, e class etc abi
BY THE WAY WHICH CONTRACT STAFF ARE U, MTN, AIRTEL, GLO ABI ETISALAT. because U WAN MAKE WE BURN OUR DATA

LMAOOOOO

prettyboi1989:
Mehn education and exposure to knowledge is key o. imagine what this fellow is saying that memory card slows down phone boot up process. This guy failed to mention the fact that it could be his phone that may cause the slow speed with the ram in perspective. the op also said sd cards are prone to virus, abeg which device isnt prone to virus? is it a laptop's hard drive or external drive that isnt prone to virus? virus enters a device through things downloaded and through connection of the device to an infected pc.
this op is just making an uneducated statement

First question should be, where is the Op writing from.

Ama80:

Papadoh:

Osaki07:

Don't forget to tell them the cloud has a data storage cap.



Cloud no be bottomless pit.

CrEaToRmalden:
I should have termed this an irregular post but I will not as everybody is entitled to his/her opinion.
An SD card remains relevant in any OS as long as there is no technology to replace it.
Also note that SD cards are being classified as you may already know. Why am being a bit critical on your idea is because of this line "unfortunately Nigeria is still a bit far from adapting this trend".
Are you insinuating that SD card is not being used worldwide anymore..?
Are you implying that the type of android devices being sent down here are the only ones with SD card slot..?
If yes, then you're wrong because SD card is an essential storage extension in any android system. Updating my phone requires an sd card even with the large internal storage capacity. Again, the case of Mobile viruses has nothing to do with an SD card, meaning that the security status be it attacked, vulnerable or safe is determined by the user.
As for the cloud storage, it wasn't meant for storing frequently used files, the main aim was for backup processes and for storing important files that is rarely handled by a user.
The only time an SD card can be risky is when its being FORMATED BY A USER AS AN INTERNAL STORAGE. its is likely to crash and user data gone because of the encryption formality. And this feature has been disabled by google in Android Nougat due to it glitches.
SD card was meant to contain stuffs like audio files music files, image files, large game cache files etc.
Then apps stored away from internal storage is what makes the device laggy.

nice comment..although I still consider some of your point invalid..
..but still let's meet up..are you in Facebook or whatsapp

Some people don dey ask ask question like say dem wan bury dead body for cloud.

Franky826:
Cloud storage is best but has its cons too.

1. Data isn't cheap.

Imagine I have 2GB size of photos. To safely keep them in a cloud storage I'll need >=2gb of data.

And then to access them again I'll still need data since some cloud based service barely offer offline service, one drive tries in this aspect still not cheap.

2. When you are in a place void of Internet network or data your cloud backup are as good as none cos it isn't accessible.

3. Cloud security can be hacked though rarely. But Yahoo attack is still fresh in our memory.

Are you forgetting the icloud hack?

salford1:
mmc has done me strong thing too. In my own case, alot of my photos and videos are not accessible any more, and the card sometimes freezes the phone. I run my phone without a memory card now. I just transfer my content to my laptop.

It's an original sandisk card. It did not even last up to 6 months.

Meanwhile, the 32gb SD card I bought November 2013 is still kicking in my phone ... External memory card will never go... Wait until your phone falls into water and packs up, you will appreciate sd
