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.

u highlighted the problems without any solution

How can one use cloud storage?

techgirlng:
It takes literally a few seconds to upload your photos to the Cloud. There are so many options. Google drive and Dropbox are probably one of the best.

Cloud Storage is the only way to go.

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.

Mustay:
I was going to ask if it was original but that's pretty redundant. What exactly does the MMC show when it appears on the PC? If you format this card and transfer content to it, does the same thing occur? Are your files corrupted again?

Gptech:
Sorry bro, but why do you think it's original? What you highlighted that happened to you are just signs of a fake memory card

salford1:
I bought it from a reputable electronic store.

Gptech:
Doesn't mean anything, even most sellers can't defect fakes.

salford1:
You are right.

Since I am staying away from them, i don't have to worry about buying fakes anymore. I had similar experience with mmc's from Argos in the UK. luckily for me, i haven't left the store before it started acting up, and I was given a replacement immediately. Same thing happened with the replacement. I was eventually given a gift card to spend on something else.

This particular SD ultra now giving me problem was bought at BestBuy in Canada.

Gptech:
Smh, you have really suffered, many of us had similar experience. If you are still willing to give it a try, can send you a link to get a good one.

the memory card am still using is the one that came with my nokia n97mini still working

salford1:
Sure....you can drop the link.


Follow come are the best, but I don't think those manufactures include cards in new phones any more. LG and some others would not even include in-ear buds.

salford1:
I have formatted it several times still no solution.
